Welcome to Eastham Group Practice

As of Wednesday 11th March 2020:

Due to the recent developments with regards to the Coronavirus, our GPs & Advanced Nurse Practitioners have taken the decision to move to a complete clinical triage system. The reason for this is to minimise the risk of possible contamination spread of the virus to our patients, staff and local community.

Patients will continue to be screened and navigated to the right professional as normal but instead of offering a face to face appointment you will be scheduled for a telephone consultation or a video consultation. There are a mixture of ’pre-bookable’ telephone consultations and ‘on the day’ telephone consultations available. If after your video or telephone consultation a your clinician feels you do need to be seen in the surgery they will arrange an appointment for you.

To reiterate, this decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to minimise risk to our patients and our community.

We will be updating our website over the coming days to enable patients to seek advice from Healthcare Professionals in a n umber of different ways. Please also visit our ‘Novel Coronavirus’ page to keep up to date with the latest guidance for Primary Care.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation during this period of time.
