Why are GP practices working differently?
GP practices are open but the pandemic is not over
GP practices in north east London are open and now seeing thousands more people than before the pandemic –
but we have increased the number of appointments available over the phone so that people can have their
consultation at home. This means you don't have to travel to the surgery and your risk of exposure to Covid is
reduced. If your condition means you need to see a GP face-to-face we will arrange this.
In north east London there are still thousands of people getting Covid-19, with hundreds in intensive care.
GP practices treated people throughout the Covid lockdowns and continue to do so. To protect everyone, we
must maintain safe infection control and minimise unnecessary physical contact.

Flu clinics
Please look out for information in the coming weeks for flu clinics.
When your Child is unwell
Childhood illnesses are rising as restrictions ease and people mix more. For the majority of children these illnesses will not be serious and they will soon recover following rest and fluids. You can make sure you know how to care for your unwell child and when it’s important to get help by visiting www.eastlondonhcp.nhs.uk/unwellchild. Your NHS is here for you.
National guidelines face covers from 19th July
Despite the relaxation of rules governing face coverings; national guidance still recommends face-masks in health care settings, and we will still require all patients attending the practice to wear a mask unless they are exempt on medical grounds until future notice. Thanks for continuing to help keep our staff and vulnerable patients safe.

People grieve in different ways and there is no right or wrong way to react to the death of a colleague, friend or family member.
Many people find it helpful to talk to someone about their feelings.
KeepingWellNEL can help staff working in NHS and health and social care settings across north east London through any difficulties they are facing.
