Chadwick Healthcare new process update - Please read before booking

Chadwick Healthcare is here to support you through this difficult time. On recommendation from the College of General Practitioners we are implementing a raft of measures to both keep you safe and provide medical care.

As much as possible we want to reduce the number of people coming into our practices.

• All of our doctors are able to provide telephone (and shortly, video) consultations. If your appointment is for follow-up care or medical certificates this may well be done via a phone consultation. These can still be booked on-line but please indicate if this is for a phone consultation and which is your preferred contact number. The doctor will phone you as close to the appointed time as possible.
• If you or one of your children are unwell with a cough, sore throat, runny nose or fever please DO NOT book an appointment, and instead phone and request telephone triage with the duty doctor.
• If you just require prescription renewal we are waiving the normal requirement to be seen 6-monthly. Please just request your prescription via the repeat prescription option in Manage My Health.
• Flu vaccines are now available now to high risk groups, and all patients from Monday 13th April. We will be operating drive-through flu vaccine stations at our Greerton practice only so that you do not have to leave your vehicle.
• Appointments for routine preventive care such as diabetes checks and cervical smears should be deferred.
• Social distancing will be enforced in our waiting rooms. If the waiting room becomes too busy we will ask you step outside or wait in your vehicle.
