WEAR YOUR FACE MASK - important update

Broadcast on Wednesday, 22 July 2020

We are sure you are already aware that from 24th July 2020 you need to wear a face mask in enclosed spaces as per Government guidance.  This applies to you entering the Surgery even when you are collecting prescriptions.

We are still operating a total triage system so if you need any health or social advice please continue to ring the OR  you could use our new service called Doctorlink to access advice.

Sign-up is simple and you can create an account here https://app.doctorlink.com/harambee/register  

For all urgent appointments, we ask that you undertake a symptom assessment through DoctorLink.

The symptom assessment will ask you a number of questions to help to identify your problem.

The outcome of your assessment will direct you to the right treatment, whether emergency care, your GP, nurse or self-care.

Once the request has been submitted to the Practice, you will then be contacted by the Practice Team, to arrange an appointment within the identified timeframe (as outlined in the outcome of your symptom checker). 

The information you provide will be shared with our clinical team (where appropriate) and will assist in providing robust information of your problem to the required clinical team member prior to your appointment.
