Our staff are working extremely hard to provide services and care and we would like to thank our patients for your continued support.
We are still open and here for you. We are continuing to provide services as we have been doing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We are prioritising the delivery of care and services based on clinical need.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, how you contact us will be different at the moment. This is to limit face-to-face contact whenever possible and help stop the spread of coronavirus.
To protect our patients and staff our entrance doors have been temporarily closed to the public but please be assured our practice remains open to deliver ALL primary care services.
Please DO NOT come to the surgery unless you have an appointment or you have been asked to come in.
Appointments are being delivered by telephone, video call and messaging to your mobile or computer or face-to-face, as appropriate.
If you need medical advice or treatment please ring us on 020 78011460 but please be patient as our phone lines have been extremely busy during the current pandemic. Alternatively you can register to use DoctorLink for an online consultation (see below), or book a telephone consultation via our GP online booking service. For non-urgent advice or treatment you can send a query to our surgery email address swlccg.bolingbrokemedicalcentre@nhs.net
Our core opening hours are Mon-Fri 8am - 6:30pm
When you phone or go online, you will be asked to provide some information about your healthcare need. This will help the practice healthcare team assess the most appropriate way to provide your care, which may include a face-to-face consultation and ensure it is provided by the most appropriate person. Face-to-face appointments are available to all patients where it is considered that there is a clinical need.
If you are asked to come into the surgery for a face-to-face appointment, please remember to wear a face covering. Measures are in place to keep you, our staff and other patients safe from infection during your visit to the surgery. Please use the buzzer to the right of the entrance doors to talk with a patient services advisor who will initially ask you some questions about your current condition / whether you are suffering from any coronavirus symptoms.
If you have a disability or condition which means you cannot wear a face covering or cannot communicate with someone who is wearing a face mask, or require adjustments before your appointment, please let the surgery know ahead of your arrival.
Online consultation requests for non-urgent help can be made at any time. They will be responded to as soon as possible, usually within two working days.
Alternatively, you can visit your local pharmacy for clinical advice on minor health concerns.
For urgent issues or out of hours, you can also call NHS 111 or go online to seek further NHS advice.
If you require a repeat prescription you will be asked to nominate a pharmacy so that we can send your prescription electronically directly to your local pharmacy, without you having to attend the surgery.
