CHANGES TO PRACTICE WORKING

In order to support General Practice in delivering this programme, NHS England and the CCG have issued clear guidance on creating capacity by focussing only on urgent work and certain key areas.  It also means we may have to de-prioritise non urgent work and cancel non-urgent appointments at short notice.  We would like to reassure you that as always, we will continue to offer urgent care throughout this time. We are going to suspend our e consultation option for this week.

Additionally, you will be used to receiving invites for health reviews.   However certain reviews (Asthma, Hypertension, Coronary Heart Disease, TIA/Strokes and Heart failure) will be temporarily stopped for the next 4 months.  Please do not be alarmed if you do not receive your expected invite for review - we will instead be focussing on delivering COVID vaccinations.  Once this delivery has been completed, we aim to catch up on reviews and monitoring bloods that have been deferred or cancelled.

As you can appreciate, the landscape is changing very quickly and our priority remains the care of our patients whilst delivering this programme.  Thank you for your patience and support.
