COVID-19 UPDATE - 19th July 2021

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 19th 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 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 in full at: COVID-19: infection prevention and control (IPC).

We also ask that you only attend the surgery in person if you have an appointment booked. All other queries can be dealt with via telephone: 01823 333355, or email: somccg.enquiries.lyngfordpark@nhs.net. 

Patient Group

If you're a patient at Lyngford Park Surgery, would you like to join our Patients' Group? It meets four times a year to talk about issues to do with the work of the Surgery. This is especially important at the moment, when so many people are worried about COVID, vaccinations, and if it's still ok to see a doctor. We'd like to hear from you, so contact lyngfordparkpatientgroup@gmail.com.

CCG Somerset Open Letter

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID vaccination programme, our GPs have continued to care for people in Somerset providing you with face-to-face, telephone and online support. To read the Open Letter from Somerset CCG, please click here: Somerset CCG: Please support our GP practices. 

As lockdown eases, don't forget your highly qualified, local community pharmacist can provide health advice and over the counter products or help with a wider range of minor illnesses and injuries, like backache, bites, coughs and colds, sunburn, hay fever and diarrhoea. 

You don't need to wait for a GP appointment for minor conditions. Your local community pharmacist is on your doorstep when you need help and advice for treatment with a wide range of minor illnesses and injuries. You can get same day advice and over the counter medications.

Ask your pharmacist

For urgent care, or after our surgery has closed, call or click NHS 111 to be directed to the local healthcare you need.

111 First

Thank you for being patient. Now that lockdown is lifting, our surgery is experiencing very high numbers of patients trying to contact us. We are doing all we can to answer your queries as quickly as we can, but please be patient and understanding if it takes a while for us to answer the phone or for you to be seen for an appointment.

While face-to-face appointments continue to be offered to those based on clinical need - many issues can be resolved during a phone consultation without patients having to travel to the surgery. The practice team will direct you to the most appropriate healthcare team for your needs. #HelpUsHelpYou.
