Covid Restriction Update:

Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the surgery as safe as possible for all our patients and staff. We will continue to do so going forward. 

From the 19th July nothing will change at the surgery - patients will need to still wear a mask, socially distance and use hand sanitiser in the surgery and staff will continue to wear PPE.  We do understand that it can be frustrating but we know that when people come to us they are sick and vulnerable (and some cannot receive the covid vaccinations due to medical reasons) so we feel it would be wrong to not take these small precautions that can protect people.  

In terms of opening up, as many of you know, we have never been shut and in fact have consulted with much higher numbers of patients than we did pre-covid (face to face, by phone, by e consult and by video), not counting vaccinating 90% of the adult population twice in the last 6 months. 

Millview Surgery has come so far in trying to minimise the impact of Covid and we are sure you understand that we need to keep the surgery as safe for ALL patients as we can. 

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.
