Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Advice

Wuhan novel coronavirus (WN-CoV) is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans.

The risk of getting the illness in the UK is low. Health professionals will aim to contact anyone who has been in close contact with the infected person. If you have not been contacted, be reassured you are extremely unlikely to catch Wuhan novel coronavirus.

Symptoms include: feeling tired, difficulty breathing, a high temperature and a cough.

If you have travelled to Mainland China, (including Wuhan City, or Hubei Province), Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Republic of Keorea, Singapore, Taiwan Or Thailand in the last two weeks and feel unwell, or had contact with a confirmed case of Coronavirus  please telephone 111 for advice. Please do not attend the surgery.

NEW SERVICE - TO PROVIDE EVENING AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS

St George's is now working alongside the other GP Practices in St Paul's to provide additional access to appointments in the evenings and weekends.

The service provides GP and Nurse appointments till 8pm Monday to Friday and from 8.30am to 12.30pm Saturday and Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Although you may not see your usual GP, all the GPs and Nurses have access to your Medical Records. 

Improved Access Patients Information Sheet is available in the Appointments section of this website.

We are a 6 doctor partner family practice based at the St Paul's Medical Centre. This provides a unique, modern and well designed concept offering a wide range of facilities including a pharmacist, optician, chiropractor, health authority dental service, on-site physiotherapy, chiropody, reflexology, aromatherapy and phlebotomy services. We have disabled access, and baby changing facilities.

NHS ENGLAND - SHARED MEDICAL INFORMATION- YOU NEED TO MAKE A  CHOICE :

The proposal in brief:

Information about you and the care you receive is shared, in a secure system, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care. NHS England would like to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as your GP, hospital and community service to help provide a full picture.  Information such as your postcode and NHS number, but not your name, will be used to link your records in a secure system, so your identity is protected.  Information which does not reveal your identity can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure we provide the best care possible for everyone.

This will allow comparisons to be made between the care provided in one area against another.

How your information is used and shared is controlled by law and strict rules are in place to protect your privacy. We need to make sure that you know this is happening and the choices you have.

If you are happy for your information to be shared you do not need to do anything.If you do not want your information to be shared outside the GP practice, you must inform us. You can complete a simple form and we will ensure that your information is not shared. No action will mean data will be automatically extracted at the beginning of 2014.

Please pick up a leaflet from the practice explaining the process, its aims and your rights.
