FACE MASKS TO CONTINUE - Although the general guidance is masks are no longer required we would ask that out of courtesy to patients and staff, who may have acute or long term conditions putting them at risk, you continue to wear face coverings when attending the surgery.  In other settings like supermarkets, restaurants or other non clinical settings there is a good chance those around you are not ill.  In a surgery or hospital setting there is a very good chance those around you are ill and so we will ask you please to wear a mask and all our clinicians will see you in a mask.  Admin staff will wear masks when moving through the surgery but not at their desks.

Contrary to some press and internet stories, most GP Surgeries have never stopped seeing patients.  From day 1 we continued to see patients in the surgery for assessment, review and treatments if face to face appointment was indicated.    Whilst Covid-19 is still a threat we will continue to telephone triage ALL patient facing appointments.  Therefore on entry to the surgery we ask that you wear a face covering because we already know that most people attending the surgery are already ill or at risk and we will try to do everything to ensure you are protected whilst in our care.

All we ask in return is for you to treat our staff with courtesy - shouting or abusive language will not be tolerated.  We are doing our very best but the sheer volume of calls has more than doubled from pre-covid and we are running Covid vaccination clinics as well as surgery appointments. We have expanded the number of lines and staff but still demand is outstripping supply and we are working on this.

If your call is for a repeat prescription can we ask that you go back to putting it in writing (preferably on your repeat slip from the chemist)  or use the Online Access facility if you have an email address or smart phone this is very easy to set up - just email us on admin.martinsoak@nhs.net and request Access permission. 

If your call is for results can you please call after 11am as the phones are generally quieter after 11.
