It has been reported that a number of patients have been kicking the front door, bashing the front window and also continuously holding their finger on the buzzer until a receptionist comes to the window. This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will result in a written warning. Any further instances of this behaviour could see you removed from our practice list under our zero tolerance policy.
The reception team are very busy answering calls. They have heard the buzzer and will come to you once their call has ended, please be patient.

The British Medical Association has advised GP Practices that the most recent Government guidance suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption. It should be sufficient for patients to declare that they are eligible for an exemption directly with the person questioning them (eg. the bus driver).
The Government states the acceptable reasons for being exempt from wearing a face mask are:
• You have a disability that means you cannot put a mask on.
• You have a disability that means you cannot wear or remove a mask.
• Putting on a face mask would cause you severe distress.
• If you use lip reading to communicate, the person supporting you to use public transport does not have to wear a mask.
• You do not have to wear a mask if you are using public transport to escape danger.
As no requirement for evidence of exemption is required, City Way Medical Practice will not be providing letters of support for those who fall under the list of exemptions, or to those who do not fall under the list of exemptions.

We are now experiencing a large number of patients queuing outside the practice to speak to reception. Although we are open we are not allowing patients in the practice unless they have a booked appointment. We are still in a pandemic and we will not be opening our doors until we are told it is safe to.
Please DO NOT come to the practice to speak to reception, they should not be talking to patients through the window.
You must either phone us on 01634 843351 or email citywaymedicalpractice@nhs.net. Alternatively you can sign up to our DoctorLink service for online triage and booking of appointments.
