Covid update - October 2020
Thank you for working with us over the past few months as we have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. We continue to work differently following directive from Department of Health, ensuring we minimise footfall within the practice as much as possible to avoid the spread of the virus within our community.
Patients continue to be triaged by phone or video consultation by our GPs, or face to face when required following telephone screening. If you are asked to attend the practice to see a GP or nurse you will be asked to arrive at an allocated time and wait at our main doors until a member of staff comes to collect you and take your temperature, before entering the surgery. Staff will continue to wear full PPE equipment and we would also encourage our patients to wear a face covering when attending for an appointment.
Many of our services including national screening programmes, dressings, contraception checks, learning disability checks and child immunisation clinics have continued throughout the Pandemic and remain available to book in advance.
We continue to remain open and the care and well being of patients is paramount during these difficult times. We continue to follow all guidance by NHS England to ensure patient safety whilst visiting the surgery. If you have any health worries or concerns, please feel free to contact us to discuss with our medical team, we will always be happy to assist.
Improved Access continues to remain available for those patients who continue to work and can not access appointments during normal working hours.
Working within a group of nine local Practices, we will be offering a range of appointments each weekday evening between 6.30pm and 8pm and during selected times at weekends, to registered patients, in at least one of the participating Practices. Please contact our reception team for more details.
Church Hill Surgery would like to Thank all of our patients for their support and well wishes over the past few months - we are all dedicated to help support our local population.

The NHS Friends and Family Test
The NHS Friends and Family Test is a way of gathering your feedback, so we can continually review our service.
It is based on one simple question: "How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?"
Your feedback will help us learn more about what you think of your experience - what you like and what you think we could improve. Ultimately, you're helping us to make changes that will ensure we can offer the possible care.
The NHS Friends and Family Test feedback cards will be available in the surgery from Monday 1st December 2014.
Whilst you are in the surgery, we would be grateful if you could take the time to fill one of these in and post it in the box in Reception.
You can also fill in a feedback card on the website. It can be found on the right hand side of the screen under "Have your say"
