Norovirus update, (11 March 2024)
We are seeing an increase in norovirus cases in Cornwall. If you have symptoms please do not visit a healthcare setting (GP surgery, hospital or care home).
If you have sickness and diarrhoea symptoms and you are due to attend a GP or outpatient appointment, please contact the clinic before setting off from home, as it may be possible to have the consult over the phone, online or they can reschedule.
Stay off school or work until you have not been sick or had diarrhoea for at least 2 days. This is when you are most infectious.
Drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest
Take paracetamol if you're in discomfort
Help stop it from spreading by staying at home and washing your hands regularly with soap and water:
🚽 after going to the toilet
🥗 before you start preparing or cooking food
Remember that⚠️ Alcohol gels won't kill norovirus.
CQC INSPECTION (MAY 2023)
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected our GP practice in May this year and identified some issues – we would like to reassure our patients that none of these related to clinical matters.
The issues raised were mainly around internal governance, human resources and training. We put an action plan in place quickly and are addressing the issues - most of the priority ones have already been resolved. We are liaising with the CQC and local Integrated Care Board (ICB) as part of the assurance process.
All our services are running as normal and patients should attend their appointments as usual. We are committed to providing safe and effective services which meet the clinical needs of our patients.
We are also committed to the long-term future of our surgery - for example, we have expanded our frontline service provision, including recruiting a pharmacist, social prescriber and physiotherapist, and have increased their number of sessions for patients. We are exploring further recruitment options too.
If you have any questions about this, please contact the surgery and ask to speak to the practice manager.
