Face coveringsPlease be aware that we ask that you wear a face covering when visiting the surgery. Evidence suggests that wearing a face covering does not protect you. However, if you are infected but have not yet developed symptoms, it may provide some protection for others you come into close contact with. Face coverings do not replace social distancing. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, and/or high temperature, and/or loss of, or change in, your normal sense of smell or taste - anosmia), you and your household must isolate at home: wearing a face covering does not change this. You can make face-coverings at home. The key thing is it should cover the mouth and nose. Please refer the GOV website for more information regarding face coverings which can be found HERE. In settings where face coverings are mandated in England, there are some circumstances, for health, age or equality reasons, whereby people are not expected to wear face coverings in these settings. You do not need to wear a face covering if you have a legitimate reason not to. This includes the following:
* young children under the age of 11
* not being able to put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability
* if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause you severe distress
* if you are travelling with or providing assistance to someone who relies on lip reading to communicate
* to avoid harm or injury, or the risk of harm or injury, to yourself or others
* to avoid injury, or to escape a risk of harm, and you do not have a face covering with you
* to eat or drink, but only if you need to
* to take medication
* if a police officer or other official requests you remove your face covering
There are also scenarios when you are permitted to remove a face covering when asked:
* If asked to do so by shop staff for the purpose of age identification
* If speaking with people who rely on lip reading, facial expressions and clear sound. Some may ask you, either verbally or in writing, to remove a covering to help with communication PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR DOCTORS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE EXEMPTION LETTERS TO PATIENTS REGARDING FACE COVERINGS |

Summary Care Record (SCR) is data shared with health and care professionals, consenting to Enhanced Summary Care Record (eSCR) can help staff involved in your care make better, safer and quicker decisions because additional information is shared. You can consent to sharing an Enhanced Summary Cared Record by speaking to Reception or a Clinician.
What is Additional Information?
Additional information is a summary of the information recorded by your GP practice about you and will include the following (when this is present in your GP health record):
- Your long term health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart problems or rare medical conditions.
- Your relevant medical history – clinical procedures that you have had, why you need a particular medicine, the care you are currently receiving and clinical advice to support your future care.
- Your health care preferences – you may have your own care preferences which will make caring for you more in line with your needs, such as special dietary requirements.
- Your personal preferences – you may have personal preferences, such as religious beliefs or legal decisions that you would like to be known.
- Immunisations – details of previous vaccinations, such as tetanus and routine childhood jabs.
- Specific sensitive information such as any fertility treatments, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy terminations or gender reassignment will not be included, unless you specifically ask for any of these items to be included.
How will Additional Information help me?
Essential details about your healthcare can be very difficult to remember, particularly when you are unwell. Having additional information in your SCR means that when you need healthcare, you will be helped to recall this vital information.
There are already clear benefits for your care from having medication, allergy and adverse reaction information available through your SCR. If you choose to add additional information, this can further increase the quality of your care. Additional information can also empower you if you need some help to communicate your complex care needs.
