Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

You should only leave the house for very limited purposes:

shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible
one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household
any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home

Important - These reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

There is separate advice about staying at home if:

Symptoms and what to do

Do not leave your home if you have either:

a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.

Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.

Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

Important - Call 111 for advice if you're worried about a baby or child.

If they seem very unwell, are getting worse or you think there's something seriously wrong, call 999.

Do not delay getting help if you're worried. Trust your instincts.

Help the NHS respond to coronavirus

Use the quick NHS coronavirus status checker to tell us about your current experience of the virus.

This will help the NHS plan its response to coronavirus by showing where the virus is spreading and how it affects people.

The GMS1 registration form is available by clicking on the link below or please hand in your completed medical card if you have one. Unfortunately we cannot register patients by telephone.

The transfer of your medical records is quicker if you provide your NHS number (this can be obtained from your previous practice).

To register, please complete both the registration form and questionnaire and return both to the practice

Do I need ID to register?

You do not have to provide ID when registering with a GP, but it is helpful to do so. It is helpful if you can provide at least one of the documents below when registering with your GP: Passport, Birth certificate, HC2 certificate, Rough sleepers’ identity badge, Hostel registration/mail forwarding letter

All patients at the practice, including children, are allocated a named accountable GP, who is responsible for their overall care at the practice - this is referred to as your 'Usual GP'. If you are not aware of your usual GP please do check with any member of staff at any time.

We encourage you to see your usual GP where possible, particularly for ongoing problems, so we can provide you with better continuity of care. If he/she is fully booked, you can ask for an appointment with another doctor. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests to change Usual GP.

When you have registered

You will be offered an appointment for a new patient health check with one of our Health Care Assistants or nurses. This involves taking a record of your medical history and general health, weight, blood pressure and in some cases urine/blood test.

GMS1 Form

New Patient Registration Questionnaire

The "Friends and Family" Test

All GP Surgeries in England are now giving patients the opportunity to comment on the services they receive though a simple new questionnaire.

The Spa Medical Practice is trying to make it as easy as possible to provide us with feedback. All replies are confidential, and you can also say why you have given the feedback you have.

All patients for whom we have current mobile phone numbers will get an automatic feedback text message after attending a surgery appointment.

Paper forms are also available on the front desk - a dedicated mailbox is available for returning them.

Each month the replies are counted and fed back to the NHS. The surgery also scrutinises them and looks carefully at any other feedback given.

Change of Details

Please inform the practice immediately if you change your name, telephone number or move to a new address. If you wish to change your name please bring a copy of any relevant certification for example marriage or deed poll. If you move outside the practice boundary you may be asked to register at a practice closer to your new home.

It is essential that we keep our records up to date in case of an emergency or hospital referral.

Change of details form

In order to maintain the quality of care we provide, we have practice boundary which will limit the distance that we can travel for home visits.

The name of you nearest relative or carer is useful if you live alone.

You may be asked if you either care for some or you have a carer. If you are the main carer for a relative/friend and would like to be officially recognised please inform the practice. Further information on Carers can be obtained by telephoning the Worcester Association of Carers on 01905 751340 or the 24hour helpline 0300 012 4272. The website is http://www.carersworcs.org.uk/.
