Pinn Medical Centre as of 28th March 2018

Important message from your local NHS: Due to the Coronavirus public health crisis, the Pinn Medical Centre will temporarily become a GP Access Centre for non-Coronavirus patients only, in order to safely provide care. The centre will become a GP Access Centre service, providing a clinical resource for telephone triage, and a booked appointment service for non-Coronavirus patients. Patients will be notified when Walk-in Centre services resume.

Cold, cough and flu season

Most colds and coughs take 5 to 7 days to clear.

To speed up your recovery, follow these ‘self-care’ steps below:

  • Ensure you get plenty of rest and sleep
  • Keep yourself warm
  • Drink plenty of water (fruit juice or squash mixed with water is ok) to avoid dehydration
  • Gargle salt water to soothe a sore throat

Please remember that you can also buy medication over the counter or approach your local pharmacist for advice and treatments

If your symptoms persist after 7 days, please book an appointment with a clinician via Klinik
