COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS
If you are suffering from fever, cough or other respiratory symptoms you may have coronavirus. This is usually mild and you can obtain advice from www.publichealth.hscni.net or www.111.nhs.uk
Please do not book an appointment and do not enter the health centre building if you have any of these symptoms. If necessary you may phone our reception for advice.
Due to the pressures over the coming weeks we will be limiting advanced bookable appointments although will do our best to provide care to all other conditions as we normally do.
****************************************************************************
PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS!!
It is essential that when a patient orders repeat medication that they allow 24 WORKING HOURS before attempting to collect at reception and a further 24 WORKING HOURS if you wish your medication to be sent to a named chemist. If you are ordering an acute item which might be deemed more urgent, it is important that you tell the receptionist so that this can be prioritised. If you have asked for your medication to be collected at the chemist we would kindly ask that you would check with them first before presenting yourself to reception but again please allow a minimum of 24 WORKING HOURS!
THANK YOU
