'Significant' staff illness at Grantown medical practice
Grantown Health Centre is having to deal with "significant" staff issues within its clinical team this week.
The centre has posted on social media to advise patients that several GPs and ANS are off sick.
In order to maintain the service as much as possible, patients are being asked to help is certain ways.
"If you are contacting us for something that is not urgent, we would ask that you use our eConsult service," a spokesperson for the centre explains.
"This can be accessed from the button on our website (grantownmedicalpractice.co.uk).
"You will get a response to your query by the end of the following working day.
"If you do not have access to the internet or the matter is urgent then please phone us as usual and a Receptionist will answer the call.
"In an emergency you should always dial 999."
The remaining staff are working additional hours to try and give as much cover as possible.
"But," patients are being advised, "we expect that the situation will last in to next week.
"We would be really grateful for your patience and support until we can get everyone back to work."
