The highest priority for the NHS remains the safety of staff, patients and visitors. While COVID restrictions will end in many settings in England from 19 July, everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering (unless they are exempt) and follow social distancing rules.
Public Health England’s infection prevention control guidelines and hospital visiting guidance are therefore set to remain in place for all staff and visitors and across all health services including hospitals, GP practices, dentists, optometrists and pharmacies to ensure patients and staff are protected.
Read the infection prevention control guidance for further details.

Due to going concerns around COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Parkview Surgery has taken the decision to switch to a Total Telephone Triage System. This is to safeguard our staff and our patients. This means that our front doors will be locked and patients will be required to talk to member of staff before coming into the surgery. All appointments will be telephone triaged first.

When you arrive at the surgery please telephone or knock on the door. A member of staff will let you into the building. Please do not be alarmed if you see our staff wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, apron and face masks. This is done so that we can keep both our staff and patients safe in order for us to provide the same level of service for a long as possible.
Prescriptions can be requested using our prescription box or online or via telephone. Please ensure that you have nominated a pharmacy where prescription will be sent electronically. All patient queries will also be dealt with accordingly via telephone where possible.
All non-essential visits to surgery should be avoided where possible. We appreciate your co-operation and patience during this challenging time.
