Early Cancer Diagnosis – Present without Delay

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, it appears that the number of people with early warning signs seeking help from their GP has fallen drastically.

• You should contact us if you notice a change that isn’t normal for you or if you have a symptom that you are worried about
• If you need to get in touch, we are ready to help you safely. You will be able to talk through your concerns on the phone or via a video consultation (if you need to be seen it will be in a non-COVID area/GP practice to add individual details on safety procedure)
• If needed, we can arrange tests in the safest way possible.
• If you need to see your GP or specialist, they will follow strict guidance on infection control to protect themselves and other patients. This might include wearing personal protective equipment and restricting the number of people allowed on the premises at any one time.

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.

Beware of Scammers

There is heightened coverage around the recent Coronavirus outbreak around the world, which is now severely impacting on the UK and the NHS. 

Unfortunately fraudsters are targeting these circumstances to take advantage of public fear and concern

We have been made aware that our patients are receiving phone calls, texts and letters from fraudsters. They will try and obtain your personal details and in particular your NHS number.

Scammers are sophisticated, opportunistic and will try many ways to get the information they want. They often target the vulnerable.

If you are suspicious, do not give any details over the phone, hang up and then ring your GP Practice to confirm.

Coronavirus Information in Other Languages

Nunwell Surgery is a semi rural practice serving approximately 9500 patients scattered across an area of approximately 150 square miles. 

There has been a surgery in this location since the late 1800’s.

We aim to provide the highest possible level of health care for our patients.

This website outlines the services we offer and provides you with information you may find useful.  

We are a General Medical Services Practice (an NHS contract definition) which enables the practice to provide locally negotiated services.

Disabled access and facilities

Nunwell Surgery has good access for patients who are disabled or have mobility difficulties. A designated parking bay is adjacent to the surgery entrance and the surgery has a ramp and wide doors to allow for wheelchair access. All consultation rooms are accessible in a wheelchair. A wheelchair is available to use within the surgery should you require one.

There are Braille signs throughout the building to assist visually impaired patients, and we also have the Hearing Loop system for hearing aid users.

If you require any assistance, do not hesitate to ask.
