Noticeboard

If you have symptoms of Covid-19 Do not go to a GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital. Call 111, stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people 

Further information is available on nhs.uk.

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.

Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to:

  • Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

What should I do if I fall ill when I’m away from home?

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can ask to be registered as a temporary patient at a nearby GP practice for up to three months. This process allows you to make use of a local practice but still remain a patient of your permanent GP practice at home. However, after three months, if you still wish to access this practice you will be required to permanently register.

If you wish to register with us as a temporary patient simply contact the practice directly.

 

Eligibility

You are permitted to register as a patient at Stonefield Surgery if you live within the practice's boundaries.  

Please note: We currently have patients that live outside of these boundaries, but these patients registered prior to the current boundaries being set.  These patients are allowed to stay with the practice until they next change their GP practice however patients that are out of the practice's boundaries will not be able to get a home visit from one of our doctors. 

We are currently accepting patients outside of our boundaries but these patients will be classed as Out of Area patients and not entitled to home visits.  Ask at reception for information of the areas we accept.

All new registered patients will need to provide proof of their residency within the practices' boundaries prior to being able to register as patients. The following documents will be accepted as proof of residency within our boundaries:

    •    Rent book
    •    Utilities Statement
    •    Bank/credit card statement


We only require sight of the document and specifically need to see your name and address. 

If you live within our practice boundary and wish to register you need to complete a registration pack, which you can collect from the surgery. 

Once you have completed your registration pack you will need to call in to surgery to provide photo identification and proof of address and book your new patient health check.

YOUR REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR REGISTRATION PACK, COMPLETED IN FULL AND CHECKED AND APPROVED BY A MEMBER OF THE ADMINISTRATION TEAM. 

Please note it can take up to 72 hours for us to complete you registration after we have received the required documents.
