I am grateful to Dr Richard Strickland and Dr Ash Kapoor for inviting me down to the local Covid-19 ‘Hot Hub’ at Giggs Hill surgery this morning. I saw the facility (while observing social distancing).
This ‘Hot Hub’ is serving as a triage centre for patients across East Elmbridge who may be suffering from coronavirus. It is for the most ill patients who require a face to face consultation, and will help to reduce the risk of infection to all patients and staff.
I was impressed by the speed with which the Giggs Hill Surgery has been reconfigured for these difficult times. This is an encouraging local example of the NHS rising to meet the challenge that we face. My thanks to Dr Strickland, Dr Kapoor and the excellent team for all they are doing for our community.
