The Ingham Practice has advised that patients are to telephone the Practice rather than attending and that their calls will be triaged and the appropriate course of action will be advised.

Community Support

Call for Community Support as the Corona Virus escalates over the coming weeks. As we live in this community with limited shopping facilities it may become more important that as people need to Self-Isolate that they continue to have access to the everyday essential supplies, in addition to those available from our village shop. On the reverse of this leaflet are some cards that you can complete and put through your neighbours doors if you feel that they are likely to be in the need of assistance.

In addition, if you are willing to offer your help and assistance to the wider Community in the coming weeks please email the following information to theplan@inghamndp.org Name Telephone number Email address 1st line of address
