As you may be aware, we are managing patients remotely as far as is possible. This includes telephone consultations, video consultations, and advice being given via SMS or email. The phone lines are at full capacity so there may be some delay in responding to calls. Please use eConsult for all routine requests. This can be accessed via our website www.warehamsurgery.nhs.uk

Please note, routine smears are not being done but appointments can be made for follow up of abnormal smears, when they are due.

Wareham Surgery will be triaging all patient requests for appointments. Please use eConsult in the first instance. This helps the doctor to assess your needs. If your problem can be managed with a quick response, we will email or send an SMS text. You may receive a telephone call at some point, but not necessarily at an appointed time. The doctors will attempt to call you twice, so please be prepared to answer if you have requested a call. Please note, the number may come up as withheld. Thank you for helping us to help you.

We regret that in these exceptional circumstances the practice is currently unable to write any letters for patients who are making a holiday refund insurance claim.

This service is non contractual and as such we are under no obligation to offer this. We hope you will understand that the GPs need to focus upon the clinical needs of their patients at this difficult time.

The Government announced on 17th March that: –

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) now advises British people against all non-essential travel worldwide. This advice takes effect immediately and applies initially for a period of 30 days.

As such, insurance claims can be requested on this basis. Full details can be read at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-advice-novel-coronavirus

If you have to stay at home but feel well enough to work, ask your employer if you can work from home. If you can work from home, you will not need an isolation note.

You can also use this service for someone else.

Based on current evidence, COVID-19 presents with flu-like symptoms including a fever, a cough, or difficulty breathing. We know that some simple public health advice can help stop the spread of the virus. Please help by following advice to:

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Our staff understand that this may be a worrying time for you and will do their best to keep you updated.
