🚨 🚨 URGENT WARNING 🚨 🚨

IMPOSTER APPROACHING PATIENTS

We have been made aware of an incident in the east of Cornwall, where someone gained access to a patient's home by pretending to be a healthcare professional called Jerry, who said he was from the local surgery. He may have called beforehand to arrange the home visit.

We want our patients to be aware and to be vigilant in checking and ensure you always ask for ID before letting someone in your home, and ensure that people are who and what they say they are.

If you have any doubt please call us.

There will be a further update issued tomorrow morning when the practice can reassess the situation.

Remember if you need medical advice when the practice is closed call 111 who will be able to advise over the phone. Only in a emergency call 999.

As the weather warms up many of us are able to get out and about more but with the weather it can be easy to have an accident.

Important IT message: Some of our NHS IT systems have been affected by Global IT issues.

We know that IT systems at some GP surgeries are impacted, and some non-clinical systems within some NHS providers.

GP surgeries are still able to take phone calls for urgent medical reasons however we kindly ask that if your query or need can wait, please contact your GP surgery after the weekend.

Please don't turn up at the emergency department, a minor injury unit or call NHS 111 unless you have an urgent medical reason so we can keep these services for the people who need it the most.

We are currently investigating the situation to understand the extent of the issue and we will continue to provide updates as we know more.

During this time please continue:
- to attend your GP or hospital appointment unless you are advised otherwise
- to use 999 if you have a life or limb threatening emergency
- to use your local pharmacist for many minor common conditions
- use NHS 111 online to get advice (please only call NHS 111 for urgent matters)

Thank you for your understanding and for being patient with our staff, who are doing their best to ensure people with the most urgent health needs are seen first over this time.

URGENT PATIENT NOTICE!

As you may be aware there is a national IT issue and as a result our entire computer system is down. We have no access to our clinical system. This means we are unable to access patient records, we can’t book or cancel appointments. It’s completely down. We are still open and doing what we can however are only open for absolute emergency appointments. If this is not the case please call back next week.

We will keep you updated - this will also be affecting other practices in our PCN area (Wadebridge and Camel Estuary Practice and Port Isaac Practice)

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,

Alisha Weeks
Administration and Reception Manager.
