IMPORTANT - Isolation Advice

Current guidance is as follows:

If one person becomes unwell, they should self-isolate for seven days. If they live in a household, they must isolate for up to 14 days.

The example below is an easy way to explain this:

A four-person household contains a mother, father, son and daughter.

If the mother develops a continuous cough and high temperature, she should stay at home for seven days. The rest of the household needs to stay at home for 14 days.

Three days later, the daughter becomes ill. She needs to stay at home for seven days before being able to return to normal if she no longer has symptoms. The father and son do not develop symptoms and so must complete 14 days isolation before returning to normal.

For more information, please visit www.nhs.uk.

COVID Symptom Tracker

The COVID Symptom Tracker is an app created by doctors and scientists at King’s College London, Guys and St Thomas’ Hospitals working in partnership with a health science company called ZOE Global.

The app will be used to study the symptoms of COVID-19 and track the spread of the virus. No analysis or data from the app is shared with anyone except researchers at King’s College London and the NHS.

To download the app, or for more information, please click here.

IMPORTANT – Coronavirus and medication

There have been some reports that people taking certain types of medication for high blood pressure may be at higher risk if on drugs called ACE inhibitors or ARB drugs. The evidence now suggests that they may even be protective with coronavirus so please do not stop taking any medication unless advised to do so by your doctor.

Current guidance is that it is best to take paracetamol for any pain or unbearable fever and not ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medication which may worsen coronavirus symptoms rather than help.

Please do not panic when ordering repeat prescriptions. In the same way we should think of others and not panic-buy food, there is plenty of supply but we need to use our medicines appropriately and not stockpile or over-order.

All prescriptions must now be requested via the Electronic Prescribing Service and will be sent to your designated pharmacy. Prescriptions are not to be collected at the surgery.

If you need help ordering your prescriptions electronically, please see your local pharmacist who will be happy to help

Wellbeing Service

This service is for patients who are suffering from a variety of difficult feelings like anxiety, panic or depression.

Anxiety can have physical symptoms but is based on fear or a worry that you cannot understand or manage. The feelings can be strong. Panic attacks are one manifestation of this where you feel a racing heart of other symptoms in your body like feeling faint or dizzy or nausea or stomach cramps or other random aches and pains.

Depression can have a variety of reasons but it means your energy is low and you have very little motivation or you are tearful more often than is usual. The reasons for this are generally to do with your life situation either present or past and you could be experiencing this at work, in a relationship or in a new challenge in life. The key generally to feeling better is to try and understand and give a shape to why you may be feeling like this.

The Wellbeing Service is there for you to discuss your concerns and we can then decide what the best course of action may be. This may involve a change of lifestyle like doing something differently in your life. We may look at some techniques, websites or reading which may be of help or think about counselling services or a group. The other option may be medication depending on how debilitating your feelings may be.

If you would like to meet one of us to discuss your concerns then please fill in the Wellbeing Service Patient Questionnaire and make an appointment either via the practice or online for an initial meeting.

The completely confidential questionnaire is sent directly to the Senior Counsellor if completed online. Alternatively, it is perfectly acceptable to print it off, fill it in and bring it with you to your first appointment.
