 Services available for you : 

Please don’t forget there are many services available for you, depending on your condition. These include:

  • Self-care – This is the best choice to treat minor illnesses and injuries such as hangovers, coughs, colds, grazes, small cuts, norovirus or sore throats. Many of these can be treated at home, simply with over-the-counter medicines and plenty of rest.
  • Pharmacy – Pharmacists can give advice on and treat a range of symptoms. They can support you with things such as diarrhoea, earaches, painful coughs, sticky eyes, teething and rashes.
  • NHS 111 – You can access 111 online or via the telephone. This is for any urgent but non-life threatening health concerns. They will be able to signpost you to the relevant service and provide advice where appropriate or arrange for a healthcare professional to call you.
  • please visit https://111.nhs.uk  

  • A&E / 999 – You should only attend A&E or dial 999 in a life-threatening emergency such as severe bleeding, breathing difficulties and severe chest pain.

  • Community Pharmacy consultation service – Hollyoaks Medical Centre is participating in a new approach to improve access for our patients—by directing you to the most appropriate healthcare professional which maybe either a GP or Pharmacist. We have asked our reception staff to refer patients for a same day referral to a local Pharmacy of your choice, where you can be assessed by a Pharmacist, who is a skilled clinician and very experienced in treating minor illnesses on a daily basis.
  •  COVID-19 updates:

      If someone has serious symptoms they cannot manage at home they should use NHS 111 online (people should only call NHS111 if they cannot get online).

      Hollyoaks Medical Centre is implementing online booking of appointment. All appointment requests will be triaged. You will be given a telephone or video consultation appointment where appropriate. In order to offer a safe service, the surgery can only offer a certain number of appointments each day.

     Wearing Face Masks:

    We are aware that some patients might be understandably anxious about the Government’s recent announcements around the use of face masks in various public settings.

    GPs are unfortunately not in a position to provide individual risk assessments or letters for patients who feel that they should be exempt from wearing a face mask, whether in regard to their use on public transport or in any other setting as required by legislation.

    Government advice on the use of face coverings on public transport can be found here: 

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers#face-coverings

    We hope that this guidance provides some reassurance for you on this issue.
