FLU CLINIC - PATIENT INFORMATION

"This year it is more important than ever to have a flu vaccine; this is because if you have Covid-19 and flu at the same time you are much more likely to be very ill or die.

For your safety, the procedure for having flu vaccines will be different this year. This is because we need to protect our HANDS, FACE and SPACE. 　

You will be contacted by us if you are eligible for a Flu vaccine and given an appointment date and time.　 Please arrive at your given time. 　Do NOT attend if you feel unwell on the day. 　Please bring minimal coats and baggage with you & please wear short sleeved clothing. 　It is best for us if you wear your own face covering but we can provide a mask on the day if needed.

Staff will meet you at the front of the building, they may be in scrubs with high visibility jackets and will be wearing masks and possibly visors as well.　 Your temperature will be checked and you will be offered hand sanitiser. Staff will then go through the relevant paperwork with you.

You must maintain social distancing of 2 meters where possible, there will be markers on the floor to guide you and help you to adhere to this.

After the vaccine you will NOT need to wait for 10 minutes which is different for this year.　　　 Our aim is to get you vaccinated safely and as quickly as possible.

We look forward to seeing you soon. "

First contact with the GP surgery should be made by telephone.  Your enquiry will initially be taken by an experienced Receptionist who will triage your enquiry.  The receptionist will then determine the correct NHS professional to deal with your enquiry.  This may be a GP, Practice Nurse, Physiotherapist, Medical secretary or a member of our Administration team.

A telephone or video appointment will then be made with the most appropriate professional.  They will contact you to determine whether the issue can be dealt with remotely or whether a face to face appointment is required.

econsult - is for non urgent medical advice you can use this 24/7.  You will receive a reply by the end of the next working day.

University information 

The three town practices offer the e-Consult facility.

eConsult enables NHS based GP practices to offer online consultations to their patients. This allows patients to submit their symptoms or requests to their own GP electronically and offers around the clock NHS self-help information, signposting to services, and a symptom checker.

eConsult is the most widely used digital triage tool in NHS primary care, built by NHS GPs for NHS patients, designed to enhance patient access, improve practice efficiencies and signpost patients to the right place at the right time for their care.

The practices have taken the difficult decision to suspend all routine appointments and are asking all patients to pre-book appointments if required. Patients are asked to ring the practice in the first instance and will be signposted to the most appropriate treatment. 

The practice will still be offering clinical need appointments and telephone triage. Patients will be asked to outside when they arrive for their appointment and not in the practice waiting room. Patients will be asked to wear a mask when entering the building to see a clinician and the clinician will also be wearing a mask during your appointment. 

If you are not able to send an email or have not signed up for My Health Online, prescription requests will need to be left in the prescription box outside, this can found to right hand side of the building at the rear entrance door, do not enter the building.

Coronavirus ( COVID-19) has now been officially characterised as a

Pandemic by the World Health Organisation

Coronavirus cases are increasing on a daily basis and the first community transmission has been detected in wales.  Patients will understand that Padarn Surgery will now need to introduce temporary measures to reduce the risk to patients and staff.

With Immediate effect patients who feel they need to be seen by a healthcare professional are asked NOT to attend the surgery in person, but to telephone 01970 624545

and the call will be assessed on clinical need.

If you need to drop off your prescription, please use the post box located on the front of the main entrance.  If you usually collect your prescription from Padarn Surgery, we would ask patients to consider providing a stamped self-addressed envelope in order to reduce the need to attend.

We are reviewing all our routine clinics and non-essential services in order to minimise the spread of Coronavirus.  We recognise that patients will have concerns and therefore we would ask you to visit our website at www.padarn.wales.nhs.uk/ in order to obtain relevant information about coronavirus.

Your first port of call if you are experiencing symptoms is the online NHS Wales symptom checker www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk/COVID19 or by calling 111.
