Coronavirus update - January 2021 

The NHS is very busy responding to the coronavirus pandemic and, at certain times, your GP practice may need to prioritise patients with the most urgent health needs. 

If you have a health issue that isn’t urgent, advice is available on the NHS website www.nhs.uk or NHS app or you can speak to your local pharmacist. You can also use e-consult which is available, please see the link above.  If you aren’t sure what to do, please contact the practice who can advise you on how to get the help you need.

 Please continue to attend tests, vaccinations and screening when invited.  

 www.111.nhs.uk is also available 24/7 for urgent health advice or by calling 111, and 999 is for emergencies.

Important Message Coronavirus - Do not attend the practice if you have symptoms, contact 111 or NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service

We are now in Tier 4.  When attending the practice in person you must wear a face mask/covering and maintain social distancing.

All GP appointments will be via a telephone consultation in the first instance. If the GP deems it necessary to see you in person the GP will give you an appointment to attend. Please arrive at the allotted time. All nurse and HCA appointments remain face to face.

We will continue to take requests for repeat medication over the phone or via email at Pimlico.marven@nhs.net.  Please allow 2 working days for us to process your request.  Medication - Please contact the practice to order your medication one week before it is due.  

COVID VACCINATION 

We have started vaccinating our eldest patients first - patients over 80 will be in the first wave.  The practice will contact patients as soon as we are notified when the next batch is available.  Indications are this will be mid-January 2021.  Please note they will not be done at the practice.

COVID-19 Contingency Sharing of medical records during the pandemic.

Primary care staff across each borough will be able to access your full medical record without consent during the COVID-19 pandemic but will only do so when this is necessary to provide you with care. They will required to use their smartcard which confirms their identity and which limits their access and actions to those appropriate to their role. They will all have been trained to understand their professional and legal responsibilities in providing you with care.    

GP online services allow you to access a range of services via your computer, mobile or tablet. Once you have signed up, you will be able to:

• book or cancel appointments online
