George Clare Surgery

All of our COVID-19 secure measures remain in place and this will not change when Government guidance changes on 19 July 2021.

Patients are asked to continue to wear a face covering, unless they are exempt, and to follow social distancing when visiting our GP Practice.

This follows the national Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Guidance for all healthcare settings and will help to ensure the safety of our staff and patients at all times.

Thank you for your continued support.

Welcome

The George Clare Surgery is a three partner, part-dispensing practice in the Fens of Cambridgeshire, with a practice list size of just over 12,150 patients.

We’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and support staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing.

To ensure the safety of our staff and patients we have measures in place to minimise the risk from Coronavirus.

All patients attending an appointment at the practice are asked to follow our safety guidelines:

• Please be on time for your appointment, if you are early please wait in your car or outside until your allocated appointment time
• If you are waiting outside, please ensure social distancing at all times (please wear suitable clothing for weather/bring an umbrella)
• Please wear a mask when inside the practice
• Once inside the practice, please follow signage and the one-way system in place

Patients must attend appointments on their own unless it is a child then they may have one carer with them.

For prescriptions;

• Medication queries are taken over the phone between the hours of 10:00- 11:00 & 15:30 - 16:30. Do not attend the practice.
• Prescription collections can only be done between 8.30 am and 5 pm.

For suspected urine infections, please do not bring a water sample, please ring the surgery at 08:30am and request a telephone call from a clinician.

The telephones are exceptionally busy at present in all departments and would ask you that you are patient if you are struggling to get through.

We have implemented the above to ensure the health and wellbeing of both our staff and patients and to ensure safe running of the practice.

Thank you for your continued support
