YOUR HEALTH MATTERS
Expert advice matters. Don’t neglect your health concerns because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Doctors are concerned of reports that patients are avoiding important medical consultations and tests because they fear COVID-19, and either don’t know about, or feel uncomfortable with telephone or online consultations.
Visiting your local GP at this time remains safe. Practices have infection control processes in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as personal protective equipment and sanitisation regimes. Respiratory clinics have also been set up across the country, which are separate from your local GP clinic, though often run by your local GPs, for those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
