Respiratory Illness

If you have symptoms of a respiratory illness, such as a cough, we ask that you wear a face covering in the building at all times to help protect those around you.

Measles

Measles is highly infectious.  If you suspect that you have measles, please do not attend the surgery.  Please contact the surgery by telephone and explain to the receptionist that you think you may have measles.  If you are able, they will request that you submit a photograph of the rash and you will then be offered a triage telephone appointment with a clinician.

Symptoms of measles are:

• A fever – this means you feel hot to the touch on your chest or back (you don’t need to measure your temperature)

     AND

• A rash

     AND

• Coryza (runny nose), OR cough, OR conjunctivitis
