COVID-19 GUIDANCE IN LOCAL HEALTHCARE SETTINGS TO REMAIN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Following the end to mandatory social distancing and mask wearing in daily life, please be advised that if you are visiting a healthcare setting such as GP surgery, community clinic or hospital, you will still be required to wear a facemask and adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Despite the easing of restrictions in our daily lives, we must continue to follow a rigorous process in health and care settings to keep our patients and our colleagues safe.

Therefore, all health and social care staff, volunteers, patients and visitors will still be required to continue to follow the below:

HANDS: Wash hands regularly with soap and water or hand gel if hand washing facilities are not available
FACE: Wear a face covering in practice buildings
SPACE: Stay at least 2m away from people wherever possible and ensure you follow the social distancing measures in place

Thank you for helping us continue to keep our patients and staff safe during these continued challenging times.

Increased Access Survey

Worden Medical Centre is a member of a local group of practices known as the Leyland Primary Care Network.

We are continuing our Increased Access Service which enables all patients across the group to book into additional routine appointments in advance. These will be available:

·         Between 6:30pm and 8pm on weekday evenings.

·         Between 9am and 5pm on Saturdays.

·         Possibly at other times depending on patient preferences.

The overall aim is to enable patients who would prefer appointments outside of the traditional practice hours to have them. As the service will be provided on a network basis, actual appointment times at each practice are likely to vary.

The purpose of this consultation is to ask for your views to help us shape this service.

This survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time.
