e-Consult Update
Econsult Will Be Unavailable Over The Weekend
We will be switching eConsult off every weekend, while the surgery is closed and you will be unable to send one from 6.30pm on Friday until 8am Monday morning. This is to ensure that our patients seek more appropriate healthcare whilst we are closed.
You can use the eConsult facility to look up general medical advice. You can also get advice from the NHS website or the NHS App. Your local Pharmacist can help you with self care.
If your medical problem cannot wait until the surgery is open please contact the NHS 111 helpline by dialing 111 from any phone, or by visiting NHS 111 Online. NHS 111 online is also a good place to check your symptoms.
For anything life threatening call 999.
If you have received a letter from NHS England inviting you for your covid vaccine then please follow their guidance and they will offer you an appointment at a Mass Vaccination Centre.

NHS England require that the net earnings of Doctors engaged in the Practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. 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 judgment about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other Practice.
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 average pay for GPs working in The Yadava Practice in the last financial year 2020/21 was £96,578 before tax and national insurance. This is for two full-time GPs who worked in the Practice for more than 6 months

PLEASE NOTE ANTIBIOTICS ARE NOT ROUTINELY PRESCRIBED FOR THIS IT MAY REQUIRE FURTHER ANALYSIS FROM THE LABORATORY.
