Dear Patients,
I am sorry to inform you that due to my retirement, my practice at Radford Health Centre will close to patients on Tuesday 30 June 2020.
Due to coronavirus, practices are operating slightly differently to prioritise patient safety. All patients registered in my practice have been allocated to new GP practices to make this transition as easy and seamless as possible.
You should now have received a letter outlining which GP practice you have been allocated to. Patients have been allocated to practices based on their postcode.
If you wish to register with an alternative practice, you can do this. Please wait until after 30 June 2020 before registering to allow the allocation process to complete in its entirety. Please be aware that due to coronavirus, practices are unable to register new patients face to face at this time, so please wait until it is safe to do so.
If you wish to register with an alternative practice, details can be found on NHS Choices at www.nhs.uk.
If you need any help or have any concerns, then please contact the Patient Experience Team on 0115 8839570 during office hours or email ncccg.patientexperience@nhs.net.

The NHS in Nottingham and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
The risk to the general public is moderate. If you have arrived back to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau within 14 days, follow the specific advice for returning travellers.
Call 111 now if you've been:

Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A person can also be infected by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.
The risk of being in close contact with a person with coronavirus or contaminated surfaces is very low at the current time, as members of the public who have visited Wuhan or Hubei province, China are currently in isolation.
Testing of suspected coronavirus cases is carried out in line with strict regulations. This means that suspected cases are kept in isolation, away from public areas of the hospital and returned home also in isolation. Any equipment that come into contact with suspected cases are thoroughly cleaned as appropriate. Specific guidance has also been shared with NHS staff to help safeguard them and others. Patients can be reassured that their safety is a top priority, and are encouraged to attend all appointments as usual.
Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to:

From April 2015 all GP practices are required to provide all their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
Dr Phillips is the named GP for all patients registered at the practice. She has overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you have always done.
You can now book your appointment and order your repeat prescription online using our patient online access service. Available 24 hours a day, it's especially useful when the practice is closed or telephone lines are busy.
