Bennfield Surgery is within the Coventry and Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group and part of the NHS England and NHS Improvement Midlands Area Team  

Please visit the COVID-19 Information page for the most up to date guidance on COVID-19 symptoms and testing. 

Please do not attend the surgery if you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms. 

You must wear a face covering when visiting the Surgery unless you are exempt

Although national changes mean that you no longer need to wear face coverings in public spaces, this guidance does not cover NHS premises.

We therefore request that you wear a face covering when entering the Surgery.

If you don’t have a face covering that covers your mouth and nose, please speak to a member of staff.

You do not need to wear a face covering if you are exempt.

As a practice, we would like to thank our patients and visitors who have followed guidance to date, and we would ask that you continue to respect the above guidance when visiting the surgery.

Personal data is shared with information governance-compliant organisations to search and identifiy individuals entitled to health care in the community, recommended by NHSE, but not provided by practices.

From 01 April 2022, free testing for COVID-19 from the NHS has ended for most people in England. 

There are a small number of people who are still eligible to get free COVID-19 tests from the NHS:

• People who have a health condition which means they are eligible for COVID-19 treatments. More information on this group can be found at Treatments for coronavirus (COVID-19) - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

• People who are due to go into hospital for surgery or a procedure. The hospital will tell you how to get a test.

• People who work in the NHS or in Social Care. The free tests can be ordered on the gov.uk website at Order coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid lateral flow tests - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If you are not in one of the groups above, and still wish to get tested, you must pay for a COVID-19 test yourself. These can be brought from some Pharmacies and retailers, in person or online. Please do not phone 119 as you cannot order tests via this number.

Whilst you’re no longer legally required to self-isolate if you have COVID-19, it is recommended that you stay at home and away from others for at least 5 days after a positive test result, to avoid passing on the virus. 

Bennfield Surgery is 1 of 12 surgeries within the same Primary Care Network. The PCN consists of GP practices working together, along with other healthcare staff and organisations, providing integreated services to the local population. 

Each PCN is given a sum of money and it is up to the PCN to determine how best to spend that money, depending on the needs of the area. 

Our PCN has employed a variety of PCN staff to ease the pressures from GPs and to bridge the gap between GP and Hospital referrals. 

Some of the staff already employed are:

• Pharmacist
• Occupational Therapist
• Physiotherapist
• Chiropodist
• Dietitian

Some of the services offered above are directly bookable by our Reception staff and you may be offered an appointment with one of the PCN staff rather than a GP when phoning for an appointment. 

The GP Protected Learning Time (PLT) days are held regularly and contribute towards our staff continuous professional development. 

On these PLT days, the surgery will be open as usual in the morning and will close at 12.30pm. Any urgent queries during the afternoon of a PLT day should be directed to NHS 111.

Forthcoming PLT days for 2022 are:

Wednesday 22nd June

Thursday 15th September

Wednesday 12th October

Thursday 24th November
