Woodland Road Surgery is a forward thinking general practice whose roots are firmly planted in the much loved traditions of general practice.  We focus on providing excellent care for all of our patients in a way that is easy to access and provides continuity of care by a close-knit team of doctors, nurses and support staff.

IMPORTANT PATIENT INFORMATION

With effect from Monday 16^th March 2020 we will be stopping Open Surgery and the walk in blood clinics.

We need to reduce the risk of potential coronavirus cases coming into the building.  We also need to reduce numbers in the waiting room for the duration of the UK outbreak.

Instead you are asked to telephone us to speak to a GP who will triage all patients and arrange a face to face appointment for those who need one.

The triage service will operate all day – you DO NOT need to call us first thing in the morning.

Pre-booked/nurse appointments will continue but any patient who has a temperature or cough are asked NOT to come to the surgery.

Thank you for helping us to keep you safe during the current Covid 19 outbreak.

               COVID 19 – CORONAVIRUS

As many patients will have seen on the national and international news the new virus stemming from China is being seen in more and more countries across the world.

As such the advice to UK residents changes almost daily.

The key advice in England is if you have a temperature or a new cough, please DO NOT come into the surgery.  Instead please self isolate at home for 7 days – anyone who lives with you is required to remain at home for 14 days.

You should only contact NHS111 if your symptoms are not improving after 5-7 days or you are developing breathing difficulties.  If you need to contact them you should ideally use their online platform by clicking here

Please understand that NHS111 is exceptionally busy and you may have to wait to speak to someone.

We are not able to arrange testing or provide treatment.
