CORONAVIRUS 30/11/2020
Your local NHS in the Black Country and West Birmingham is still here for you, but how you access our services has changed due to COVID-19.
If you are feeling unwell or if you have any health symptoms that you are worried about, please contact us online through this website or call us in the first instance. You can no longer walk-in to your GP practice without an appointment.
If advice and treatment is not possible through an online triage or a telephone consultation, a face-to-face appointment will be arranged for you.
Local GPs are currently supporting the COVID-19 response in many ways and our resources are limited. Our GPs and practice staff will advise you on the best treatment and whether it is required at this time, as we try to ensure that those in most urgent need get the care they need as a priority. This may mean you need to wait a little longer than usual for treatment but if you have any concerns please talk to us.
We are open and fully operational, but these measures have been put in place to maintain and control social distancing and to keep local people and NHS staff safe.
If you are suffering a serious or life-threatening emergency, please call 999 immediately.
