COVID Vaccination invitations
We are now also using a text messaging service where possible to invite patients to book their COVID vaccination appointment. A text will be sent with a link to book an appointment online into one of our clinics at Ledbury Community Hall This text message will appear as from 'GPSurgery' and will include a link to the AccuRx website to book. We will telephone any patients to whom we are unable to send a text.
Below are the vaccination cohorts. We will keep this list up to date with the current position regarding invitations and vaccinations.
Group 2 (80+yrs) – We have attempted to contact all patients. If you have not been contacted and would like a vaccination, please contact the surgery

Total Triage
During the COVID-19 pandemic we have been operating a Total Triage service for all requests, whether for an appointment or other type of request, clinical or administrative.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NHS England and NHS Improvement have supported all GP practices in England with the rapid implementation of a ‘total triage’ model using telephone and online consultation tools.
Total triage means that every patient contacting the practice is first triaged before making an appointment. We will be asking you to speak to the most appropriate clinician on the telephone who can help you as quickly as possible. It is possible for the doctor or nurse to do your consultation via video call but if the doctor feels that you need a face to face appointment this will be arranged for you.
Total triage is important to reduce avoidable footfall in practices and protect patients and staff from the risks of infection

Managing your health at home
To maintain social distancing and prevent the spread of the coronavirus, you are advised to stay at home as much as possible. While you are at home it's still easy to get NHS help and support using your smartphone, tablet or computer.
The Health at Home webpage has information letting you know how to:
- contact your GP
- order repeat prescriptions
- manage long-term conditions
- maintain your mental and physical wellbeing
If you need an NHS service, try to do it online first. If you cannot get what you need this way try asking a friend or family member to help you, or speak to your GP surgery on the phone.

Click the Orange Box
If you are concerned that you may have coronavirus or may have come into contact with someone who has,!!!! complete the symptom-checker at: https://111.nhs.uk/service/covid-19
Please telephone the surgery as usual if you are unwell or have an acute problem that is NOT COVID-19 related. The receptionist will book you in to speak to a doctor either by phone or video consultation. If, following the conversation with the doctor, it is felt that clinically someone needs to see you, the clinician will advise you on what to do.
Our doors are closed but we are still seeing patients. Patients are triaged by one of our GPs via telephone or video consultation. If the GP feels they then need to see the patient, they will book the appointment - patients who may be asked to attend to see a clinician are being screened before entry. Please wear a face covering as well as suitable clothing if it is raining as you will have to wait outside.
Video Consultations - If your doctor decides you need to take part in a video consultation the link below shows you how this will happen.
