Welcome to Pinehill Surgery Online

TO ALL OF OUR PATIENTS

Dear Patient

We are all excited to hear about the progress of the rolling out of the Covid vaccine and look forward to this improving the quality of life for all of us.

We know that you, like us, are struggling with the confines imposed upon us all due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Everyone is trying to make the best of the situation and, as a practice, we are committed to caring for you in the best possible way whilst keeping both you and our team safe.

To keep you as informed as possible, we will update these messages frequently as we become aware of more information from NHS England:

• The approval of the Oxford/Astra-Zeneca vaccine provides a major boost to our plans to offer protection to our patients.
•  
• The new guidance from the JCVI on the period between doses also means that we will be to get the maximum benefit for the most people in the shortest possible time and will help save lives.
• The large increase in Covid cases hospitals are seeing and the emergence of a new variant of the virus also shows that we cannot let our guard down now and even those who have received a vaccine still need to follow social distancing guidance.
• Please do not contact the surgery nor the hospital to seek a vaccine, we will contact you in the order that the NHS has instructed us to

• Please continue to abide by all the social distancing and hand hygiene guidance, which will still save lives.

Thank you for your patience.

Mrs. Claire Hunt

As a result of the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the Pinehill, Forest and Badgerswood surgeries are making significant changes to the way we work.

•           Appointments will now be by telephone
•          Access to all practice sites will be restricted
•           All routine blood tests, NHS checks and non-urgent work have been suspended
•          Your surgery stays the same. Your usual doctor does not change
•          The Chase and Headley Pharmacies will continue to operate as normal but will be closed between Noon and 2pm. Please observe the 2m distance when waiting to enter the pharmacy
•          Royal Surrey midwifery has been relocated from the Forest to the Badgerswood Surgery
•          Baby immunisations will continue to be done but we are looking to combine first vaccination appointments with the Usual 8 week baby check to minimise surgery attendances
•          The Forest Surgery site will be reserved for patients who, following their telephone appointment, have been asked by the triaging clinicians to attend for symptoms suggestive of possible Coronavirus infection.
•          The Badgerswood and Pinehill sites will be reserved for patients whose triaging clinician believe they do not have any symptoms of Coronavirus infection but need face to face assessment
•          If you suspect you are suffering from COVID-19, you should visit NHS 111 Online (111.nhs.uk) in the first instance, or telephone NHS 111 if you do not have access to the internet

 We are all very grateful for your understanding during this difficult time.
