Dear Patients,
Please do not contact the surgery and ask for a ‘fit to fly’ letter showing your covid vaccination status as GP’s surgeries are not allowed to supply these.
Instead please go to the following gov.uk website where it tells you how to get this information either through the NHS App, through the NHS website or by calling 119:

Thank you

Covid Vaccination Queries

Dear Patients
Please do not telephone the surgery regarding the date for your 2nd covid vaccination.
You will be contacted by us when you are eligible to receive your 2nd dose and an appointment to attend will be booked for you.
If you have had your 1st vaccination elsewhere and this facility is no longer available and you are enquiring if we are able to provide your 2nd vaccination,
please contact us by email on the following address: kingsway.receptionist@nhs.net
And we will endeavour to assist you.
Please do not contact us by telephone as this is causing difficulties for patients needing to contact us when needing medical assistance.
Thank you.

You will need to give separate consent for the images to be attached to any onward referral to secondary care. If no consent is given it could be detrimental to your referral. The images will not be used for any other purpose. If you choose not to have these images saved onto your clinical records please let us know and they will be deleted.

If you develop a new cough, raised temperature or loss of taste and/or smell, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND the surgery, call NHS 111 for advice and further treatment.

Dear Patients, we are still doing telephone triage appointments. If the clinician who you are speaking to feels that a face to face appointment is required they will book you an appointment directly. Please remember if you are attending the medical centre to wear a mask/face covering for any face to face attendance. All practice nurse and phlebotomy appointments are face to face.
We are COVID secure with hand sanitisers, one way system through the building please ensure you use the hand sanitiser when entering and follow the arrows to the exit after your appointment. If you need to make another appointment after seeing your clinician please come back into reception to book with our reception team.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The pay for GPs working in Kingsway Surgery in the last financial year (2017/18) was £113,316 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 2 full time GP(s), 0 part time GP(s) and 0 locum(s) who worked in the practice for more than six months.

However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, or to make any comparison with any other practice.
