Important information about the coronavirus (COVID-19)
The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
The practice requests all patients not to come into the surgery unless invited by a GP.
As of 17 March 2020 the practice has moved to a telephone consulting appointment system. This means you will now have to call the surgery to request to speak to a GP or nurse. The receptionist will ask you for a brief message for the clinician and will ensure we have the correct telephone number, the GP will ring you back on the same day. Sometimes the GP will invite you into the surgery for a face-to-face appointment.
We are committed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in our community, please remember vulnerable patients are most at risk and ensure you are doing enough to protect yourself and each other:
- Regularly wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 minutes
- Avoid touching your mouth, eyes and nose with unwashed hands
- catch your cough or sneeze in a tissue, bin it, and wash your hands
- Avoid close contact to someone you suspect is unwell
- Limit personal contact with people who are unwell

Cedar offers good access to GP and Nurse appointments; ranging from on the day appointments, and advance pre-book appointments. Our reception team are here to help patients find a suitable practice appointment and help patients access other healthcare services.
In light of the coronavirus we are actively asking patients if they have symptoms relating to coronavirus, this shouldn't take long or delay necessary routine treatment. A receptionist will be the first to ask you a series of simple questions, either over the phone or when you arrive at the reception area. The GP or nurse will repeat these questions during your telephone consultation or when you arrive at the surgery.
As a temporary measure to lower risk of spreading coronavirus in the surgery we have stopped all Online self-book appointments. This will allow our GPs and nurses to appropriately identify urgent need and continue a good service to carry out routine checks. (updated 12 March 2020)
New patients welcome.
