Welcome to Cornford House Surgery and Fulbourn Health Centre

COVID 19

The NHS will come under significant strain as we deal with this health crisis.

All routine appointments are cancelled.  All contacts and visits to the surgery and home visits will be screened to avoid unnecessary contacts and enhance social distancing.

This is to protect the Public, Staff and the wider NHS and to enable us to continue to provide a service.  Ultimately to save lives.  

The Advice from Public Health England continually evolves as Health/Science/Government leads react to the evolving picture.  Please take this advice to give us the best chance of beating this epidemic.  

The Public Health England link below gives upto date advice, including who should be self isolating and stay at home guidance and when safe to return should you develop symptoms (Fever  and/or a NEW persistent cough)

If you require a Sick Note/Med 3 Statement as you are isolating, we ask you to download the following letter and tick the appropriate box.  This is to ensure we are free to concentrate on clinical priorities rather than deal with administrative tasks.
