Horncastle Medical Group

During Covid-19 we ask that patients do not come to the surgery unless invited to do so by the practice. 

We are still able to assess and advise patients remotely about any concerns that they have which are not Covid-19 related. You can contact the surgery to get advice and assessment online via Ask My GP , telephone, and via email.

In the first instance you will be given a telephone consultation and if the clinician thinks that you need to be seen they will arrange for an appropriate face to face appointment or perform a video consultation.

If you have symptoms which may be of Covid-19; a new persistent cough, loss or change in sense of smell or taste, an unexplained fever (temperature over 37.8), then please contact the NHS 111 Covid-19 Clinical Assessment Service by calling 111 or going online to NHS111 online.

If you are told that you are likely to have Covid-19 then please self-isolate at home for ten  days, and ensure that your household contacts also self-isolate for fourteen days. If your symptoms worsen in this time please contact NHS 111 for further support and advice.

We ask that all patients attend the Surgery wearing a facemask/covering unless you have an exemption card.

We also kindly ask that you do not arrive early for your appointment so we can reduce the footfall in the practice.
