CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 26.03.20

Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

You should only leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons:

shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible
one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household
any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home

Important - These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

There is separate advice about:

Symptoms and what to do

Do not leave your home if you have either:

a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.

Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.

Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

Flu Vaccines

We now have stock of all flu vaccines, if you are eligible for a flu vaccine, please contact Fairbrook on the appointments line (option 2) to make a routine appointment with the nurse.

Online Services

The new computer system Emis has been up and running for a year now and after a few teething problems has been a huge success. Many surgeries in Herts Valleys CCG have made this change and are now using the same system. This will enable local surgeries to work together in providing patient services in the community.

You are able to view your medical records and request your prescriptions online. Please use the form below to register, bring the form into the surgery in person and provide photographic ID.

GP online services allow you to access a range of services via your computer, mobile or tablet. Once you have signed up, you will be able to:

book or cancel appointments online
renew or order repeat prescriptions online
view parts of your GP record, including information about medication, allergies, vaccinations, previous illnesses and test results

You can still contact the practice by phone or in person, this is just another option, which other patients have found is more convenient and saves them time. More information including “how to” leaflets and videos of patients and why they are using GP online services are available at www.nhs.uk/gponlineservices

How to sign-up

For more information please contact reception or next time you visit the surgery, bring with you a form of photo ID for example passport or driving licence. If you don’t have these, please talk to us and we will help you sign-up.
