We are trying to ensure that patients see the correct clinician for their medical need, therefore, we may need to ask you the reason for your request for an appointment. If you prefer not to say, your wishes will be respected.

Millview Surgery is supporting the COVID vaccination programme on Friday 22nd January 2021, so will therefore not be operating as usual. For appointments or repeat prescriptions, please ring within Surgery opening Hours on Monday 25th January when the surgery will be reopen as normal. If you need urgent medical attention that cannot wait until the Surgery reopens, please call 111.

The Covid-19 vaccination programme has begun. When it is your turn to be vaccinated, the NHS will contact you. Please do not contact the NHS.

In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, a few different health and care organisations including hospitals, GP practices, care homes and others are working together on the Covid-19 vaccination programme. This means when it is your turn to be vaccinated, this may not be at your GP practice. You will be told where to go for your appointment and how to book.

In line with expert guidance, the first priority for vaccination is care homes residents and staff, people over the age of 80 and frontline health and care workers.

We understand a lot of people want to be vaccinated and would like to reassure you this will happen. Please be patient and wait to be contacted.

For further information on why you are being asked to wait for your Covid-19 vaccine, please read the information on the GOV.UK website or this leaflet.

Sick notes are not needed for previous shielded patients or anyone new who is wishing to work from home. This is not a medical issue. The new rules say that if you CAN work from home you should be doing that anyway. Please contact your employer to arrange occupational health advice if needed.

GP ACCESS SCHEME

GP Access January - March 2020

Please be advised we no longer prescribe items for minor illness that you can buy or obtain from your local pharmacy (e.g. for hay fever) If you think you need an appointment for a minor illness we are asking you to visit your local pharmacy for advice and possibly treatment under the ‘pharmacy first’ scheme.

Don’t wait for a doctor’s appointment, go straight to your pharmacy.

HELPING YOU TO HELP YOURSELF

The NHS is under pressure from increasing demand, but you can help ease that pressure. Here are a few tips how…

■ Please don’t ask for over the counter medicines on prescription for a minor illness

■ Don’t just miss your GP appointment – tell them you’re not coming, preferably at

least 24 hours in advance

■Don’t just tick the box for repeat prescriptions - only order what you need

■A&E is for emergencies only - if it’s not an emergency, please try your local

Pharmacy, GP, Urgent Care Centre or call 111 for advice and out-of-hours GPs

Take care of yourself and your NHS will take care of you
