Our Services during COVID-19

The Saltaire & Windhill Medical Partnership remains open and we continue to be here to help you.

Please note the following:

• All initial GP/ANP appointments are via a telephone consultation with face to face appointments booked by the clinician if required. The clinician may ask you to send a photo or use a video consultation to help them assess your problem.
• Our nursing team are conducting chronic disease reviews by telephone where possible. When this is not possible or for certain tests a face to face appointment will be arranged.
• To help protect vulnerable patients and keep our staff safe please do not attend the surgery unless you have a pre-booked appointment.
• Our phone lines continue to be extremely busy due to very high demand – if possible visit our Virtual Surgery to get help without ringing the practice. You can send eConsults, order medication with SystmOnline and book PushDr consultations
• Please wear a face covering and use the provided hand sanitiser when attending a pre-booked appointment.
• Please do not attend pre-booked appointments if you develop COVID symptoms, are awaiting a COVID test result or are required to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, please cancel and rebook your appointment.
• Our branch sites (Cottingley and Cliffe Aveue Surgeries) are open in the mornings for pre-booked appointments only.  .
• Visit the NHS website for advice on self-managing common minor conditions which don’t require you to speak to a clinician.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support during the pandemic,
