Welcome to Carrington House Surgery
Due to the Coronavirus we are asking patients to call the Surgery to book appointments (01494 523211). We will NOT be booking appointments at the reception desk until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.
Do not leave your home if you have coronavirus symptoms.
Do not leave your home if you have either:
- a high temperature - this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough - this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.
Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do. Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.
Parents’ guide to using A&E during Covid19
The NHS has produced a useful guide to parents on when to use A&E during the pandemic. Please share the link to this on your website and in patient communications.
View Parents’ guide to A&E during Covid19.
There is also useful information for families – including: talking to children about Covid 19, and emotional support during the pandemic. View families’ information here.
With patients needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, we hope you will find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

Named Allocated GP
NHS England require each registered patient to have a named allocated GP. Patients can ask at any time who their named allocated GP is. Patients have the option to request a specific named GP (requests will be considered). However, we do NOT operate a 'personal list' operation at Carrington House, this means patients can choose to see whichever doctor they prefer at the surgery for their care.
