Welcome to Our Practice
The surgery website is a most effective way of giving our patients access to help and the latest information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It contains complete information about all the services we offer. It also details how the practice is organised and introduces our doctors, other medical and administrative staff and describes their various responsibilities.
PRACTICE PHONE LINE 0151 207 0950 IS CURRENTLY OUT OF ORDER, PLEASE CONTACT SURGERY ON 0151 207 3456
The NHS is currently offering the COVID-19 vaccine to people most at risk from coronavirus.
The order in which people will be offered the vaccine is based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
The NHS will let you know when it's your turn to have the vaccine. It's important not to contact the NHS for a vaccination before then.
You can read more about the COVID-19 vaccine on the nhs.uk website.
For any medical emergency treatment please ring NHS 111 Service.
Stay at Home – Protect the NHS – Save Lives
Everyone must now stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus. This includes people of all ages – even if you do not have any symptoms or other health conditions.
The only reasons to leave home are:-
- To shop for basic necessities or pick up medicine
- Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
- To travel to work if you absolutely cannot work from home
- To exercise once a day on your own or with people in your household
Please telephone rather than visiting people in hospital where at all possible.
If you have to go out for one of these reasons
- Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
- Wash your hands for 20 seconds as soon as you get home
Please watch this short government video for a summary of the changes that they have put in place as of today.
The situation is changing often so please check on the NHS website for the latest information on what everyone should be doing and what to do if you have symptoms (a high temperature and/or a new continuous cough).
