Birchwood Medical Practice

It is essential for the safety of our patients and staff, that we stop all unnecessary face to face contact at the surgery.

To try and help high risk patients who need to self-isolate and to try and limit the numbers of patients coming down to the surgery, we will be

introducing a MEDICINE DELIVERY SERVICE for our

dispensing patients starting from Tuesday 24^th March. 

 The service is intended for all patients and we will initially be 

 focusing deliveries on an area by area basis.

If your repeat medication is not due to you at the moment, please do not come to the surgery or contact us. We will be ringing

each of our dispensing patients to advise them of their

expected delivery.

To put this into operation at such short notice we do require your

patience and co-operation in allowing us to do the work required.

If you are booked in currently for a face to face appointment with a GP or nurse you will now receive a telephone consultation.

If you are required to attend for an appointment, when you arrive at the practice you will find the main entrance closed. You will be greeted by a receptionist to confirm your reason for attending. You will then be asked some simple screening questions before being allowed into the practice.

If you have a new continuous cough or high temperature please DO NOT attend the practice but stay at home and click on the following link for Coronavirus information and advice:
