Many people with COVID will recover within a few days or weeks, but for some the effects of COVID unfortunately last longer. Long COVID is now recognised and defined as:
- ongoing symptomatic COVID-19: having signs and symptoms of COVID-19 for 4-12 weeks
- Post COVID-19 Syndrome: signs and symptoms that develop during or after Covid-19 and continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis
For further information and support to self-manage Long COVID, please visit Your Covid Recovery.
The practice operates from a small building where social distancing is very difficult to maintain. Vulnerable patients are continuing to attend the practice for face to face care, and it is therefore important that we minimise the risk to patients and staff to ensure the practice continues to operate safely.
Initial consultations with our Clinical Team will be conducted by telephone or video. When making a request, it can be helpful to provide a photograph to help the clinician. In discussing your care, if the clinician feels it is necessary and appropriate to see you in person, they will arrange this with you. Face to face (or in person) appointments with a GP or ANP are not booked directly by our Reception Team at present.
When attending the practice we ask you to co-operate with us to keep everyone safe:
- wear a mask when in the building. A surgical mask will be provided on entry if you do not have one.
- arrive on time for your appointment to keep waiting to a minimum
