Updated Government advice on Face Masks / Face coverings
To comply with new government guidance we request that all patients and members of the public attending the practice wear a face covering, unless you are exempt for health, age or equality reasons. Please be mindful and respectful of such circumstances, noting that some people are less able to wear face coverings, and that the reasons for this may not be visible to others. Updated 27.7.2020
New Coronavirus support app for the UK
A new free-to-download app to help people navigate the coronavirus pandemic has been launched for Apple and Android devices. The Coronavirus Support App (UK) has been created by Expert Self Care with support from The Care Forum and eight other partner organisations.
The app is aimed at people in the UK who would like to learn more about the coronavirus and COVID-19. Accurate information can help people to protect themselves, the people close to them and the wider public, and reduce avoidable pressure on the NHS.

Please take a look at the new Health and Wellbeing Directory on our website. There is a link under 'Further information' and 'Opening hours'. The directory enables you to search for a wide range of health, community and voluntary services in your local area.

Sharing GP records with the Royal United Hospital
Clinical staff at RUH are now able to view your entire GP records when they treat you. They cannot change them or add to them, but they are able to look at information that could be useful in treating you. It will also speed up access to information that the hospital would otherwise have to request from us.
The hospital doctor or nurse will ask for your consent before they look at your GP record, and you can refuse at the time if you prefer. Alternatively you can tell us that you do not want your health record shared in this way, and we can block it at this end.
