Our team at Summerfield Healthcare is delighted to be playing a leading role in the local community – so you can imagine just how pleased we are to bring you the news that we are now a member of the Shropshire Chamber.
Summerfield Healthcare has pledged to support the world’s leading charity working to stop group B Strep infection in babies.
Group B Streptococcus (Also known as GBS or Group B Strep) is a bacteria that is carried by 20 to 40 per cent of women in the UK. It is not harmful, however, can affect the newborn baby if the mother is carrying the bacteria around the time of birth.
There are now various COVID-19 tests available and they can be obtained in a number of different ways.
But, what is the difference between the COVID-19 tests available and which one do you need?
Due to the recently announced lockdown in England, Summerfield Healthcare is currently only able to offer a limited number of clinical services including:
For some services we continue to offer such as health checks and minor surgery we are now providing COVID-19 testing for all patients and Doctors. This is mandatory due to the proximity of the practitioner, the duration of the appointment and multiple clinicians also being involved in your treatment. An additional £10 will be included in the appointment fee at the point of payment to cover the cost of COVID testing, and your booking confirmation will reflect this requirement. This is not required for blood testing due to the short duration of appointments and reduced risk of exposure.
If you cannot find the service you are looking for or it is not available to book due to the lockdown, please enter your details below and the service you require and we will contact you when the service resumes. Please remember that all COVID testing services are continuing during lockdown.
