Dear Patient
COVID-19 is now spreading across the UK and we are taking necessary action to protect our patients, staff and community .
Please submit an online triage using the eConsult system, the link can be found on the homepage under both the ‘book an appointment’ and ‘consult with your doctor online’ tabs.
All submissions will be reviewed within 48 hours and if after assessment a clinician feels you need a face to face appointment you will be invited in for a review.
Nursing appointments will also be screened prior to allowing access and management of long term conditions will be dealt with remotely where possible. Prescription requests can be sent via the NHS app, your online provider or via email to mccg.thorndike.prescriptions@nhs.net All prescriptions will be sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy – if you have not yet nominated a pharmacy please do so.
Any medical certificates or letters can be sent to you via a secure text pathway or via email.
