The GP Surgery enters Shutdown for physical consultations starting Monday 16/03/20
The GP Surgery at Charlestown Medical & Dental Centre will enter Shutdown for all physical consultations and treatments starting Monday 16/03/2020 at 9:00am as a result of the current new COVID-19 outbreak. The Dental Surgery will remain opened for their patients. The reason for the shutdown is to protect our patients and our staff from getting infected with the COVID-19 virus. We have done our best to block the access to the surgery for all patients presenting with respiratory conditions for the past days, in an attempt to prevent the spread of a possible Coronavirus infection to the others, but we have learnt this was impossible and some patients of this group still presented to the surgery. On the other hand, apparently healthy-looking persons/patients may be carriers of this virus (the incubation period may last for up to 14 days before a person gets symptomatic) and they may contribute as well to the spreading of this infection.
It is physically impossible for our surgery to efficiently fight against the spreading of this infection and to protect our patients and ourselves as long as patients are physically presenting in for a consultation.
The GP surgery staff will continue to provide medical care for our patients (including for all those already booked in for the next days) with the only difference that physical visits to the surgery will be replaced by phone calls, email and text message correspondence and soon we also will have the ability to provide video consultations.
All appointments already booked in for our Nurse (blood tests, smear tests) will be cancelled and those in real clinical need for these tests will be offered referral letters (by post or email) to enable them getting the respective tests in a hospital lab. Travel vaccinations will be delayed for a later date.
We are still proving Childhood immunisations for babies as usual (in our Nurse clinic). Important note for parents: the baby/child will be accompanied by one parent/guardian only (the respective parent/guardian must not present with signs/symptoms of a respiratory condition or immunisation/vaccination may be refused and rescheduled for a later date).
We will continue to issue prescriptions and medical certificates for all new and ongoing conditions as usual (they will be emailed or posted to the patient).
Our new Coronavirus dedicated webpage offers you important information about this new type of infection. It will be continuously updated as situation develops.
Our Reception desk is prepared to answer all your enquiries within the normal hours of the medical surgery.
We thank you all for your kind understanding and continuous support and wish all the best for you and your families.
