CORONA VIRUS ALERT COVID19

There has been an outbreak of Corona Virus Covid19 which has been declared a pandemic

7Springs Medical Practice is doing everything we can to assist you, to keep you safe.

We have implemented an onsite Temperature screening station – at the front door of the Practice. We have closed the Lower Level Entrance to the medical practice to ensure the safety of our patients. Please use the front entrance only.

If you have cold/flu symptoms, or if you have travelled we ask that you telephone the practice and that you do not attend the practice. Our doctors can assist you with Telehealth Appointments – via the phone of video link.

Do you have fever, respiratory infections such as shortness of breath, cough or sore throat?

If so, please inform the receptionist when you call the practice. Do Not Attend the Practice.

Your safety and well being is very important to us and the requirement to stop the spread of these two illnesses is very important.

You may be required to wait in the carpark – in your car – until the Doctor can triage you. Or you may be asked to attend our Respiratory Clinic at designated times in the day. This is held downstairs in the lower level clinic and you will be directed to attend at certain time sof the day for an appointment.
