Information for patient’s with NELFT appointment during the Coronavirus pandemic

If you are feeling well and healthy, with no symptoms of coronavirus you should attend your appointment as normal. The symptoms start with a fever (high temperature) followed by a dry cough that can lead to breathing difficulties. Please note your service will be considering different ways to manage your appointment including video conferencing and will let you know the details you need.

If you are displaying any symptoms of coronavirus (a new continuous cough or high temperature of 37.8 degrees centigrade or above) you should self-isolate for a period of 14 days. Please do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy, community clinic or hospital. You should not attend your appointment with us, but please do get in touch with your service to let us know you will not be attending.

If you have been swabbed for coronavirus and you are awaiting your results, please do not attend your appointment. Please phone your service to inform us that you will not be attending.

Patient’s who feel that they may have Coronavirus or may have come into contact with someone who has, the NHS 111 has created Coronavirus pages to inform patient’s on what to do based on the above.
