Latest News

COVID 19 has not gone away and Millview Surgery as a Practice will continue to do everything we can to keep all our patients and staff safe.

We have been open and safely seeing patients who need to be seen since the Covid pandemic began.

We are continuing to provide services, prioritising delivering care based on clinical needs.

When you phone the Surgery, you will be asked to provide some information about your healthcare need, and a phone call will be arranged with a Clinician. Face to face appointments are available to all patients when necessary, and these will be assessed by the GP when they phone you.

One of the challenges we face is the limited space we have in the waiting room to comply with social distancing rules. We are currently working out how to increase the number of face to face appointments further, whilst also keeping everyone safe.

It is REALLY important that those coming into Practice continue to follow the COVID rules. If you have a temperature, cough, cold, loss of taste or smell DO NOT COME TO SURGERY. Please ring 119 to arrange a Covid test. Please also note that whilst having the vaccine does give you very good protection, there is still a risk of catching COVID and passing it on to other people.

We thank everyone for their understanding and in helping us to keep everyone safe.

Face Masks

We would just like to remind patients that we request you wear a mask when coming into the surgery. If you feel you are exempt and cannot wear one, you will be asked to wait outside until the clinician you are seeing is ready to see you. This is to protect other patients and staff.

If you want to wait inside and wear a visor, please inform reception and we will be able to issue you with a visor.

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.

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
