We are experiencing extraordinarily high demand for same day appointments today. A lot of people are getting in touch about sore throats, cough or viral symptoms. Most cough/cold symptoms will get better within a few days (some symptoms such as a cough can last up to 3 weeks). We do not prescribe antibiotics for most people with a cough/sore throats and will generally recommend self care: plenty fluids, rest and paracetamol/decongestants etc. If you are unsure about your symptoms, you can ask your local community pharmacist or NHS111. If you are a parent and unsure when to worry, here are some useful resources: ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/fever-in-children/ ➡️ https://www.healthiertogether.nhs.uk/child-under-5-years/fever
Did you know, If it's not safe to talk you can call 999 from your mobile then dial 55. Your call will be transferred to the police. They will try to help you using simple yes or no questions. If you are not able to talk, listen to the questions and instructions so the person on your phone can arrange help. If you call 999 from a housephone / landline and say nothing, your call will be transferred to the police. They will be able to help you, and they will be able to track your location.
Edit 9:30 am all back up and running. ☎️ We have some technical issues with our phone system affecting our call centre and Priory Medical Centre phone lines. Please expect the waiting times to be longer on the phones. Where possible use the prioryCARE form or you can visit our surgery reception desks. Our internet and phone provider are working on a fix and we hope this to be resolved as soon as possible.
