❓ Port Isaac Practice & Bridge Medical Centre– FAQs:

Why am I asked to attend Port Isaac instead of Bridge?
Port Isaac is our main practice site, where most routine and pre‑bookable appointments take place. Bridge Medical Centre is a branch surgery and is mainly used for same‑day and urgent/acute issues.

What is a main practice site?
A main practice site is the primary base of the GP practice. This is where you will usually find more GP clinics, routine appointments, and planned care.

Can I choose which site I attend?
We will always try to take your preference into account, including site, GP, and personal circumstances. However, choosing a specific site or GP may mean a longer wait for an appointment.

How do I get an appointment?
We operate a full clinical triage system. When you contact us, a GP reviews your request and will:
Offer you the most appropriate available consultation, or
Direct you to a more suitable service, if appropriate

Why might my appointment be at Bridge Medical Centre?
Bridge is primarily used for on‑the‑day and urgent problems, so you may be offered an appointment there if your issue needs prompt assessment.

What is happening with GP staffing?
Following the retirement of Dr Hamilton and Dr Barfield, we currently have one female GP. We are pleased to confirm that a new female GP will be joining the practice in May.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to provide the safest and most appropriate care for all our patients.

🧣🧦🥶Winter brings an increase in flu and norovirus, risks of falls in wet weather and colder temperatures making it harder if you have a health condition - which is adding extra pressure on health and care teams.

🙏We know that most people already do the right thing to use our services wisely and protect themselves when they are unwell - here’s a reminder:

🩺If you do need NHS care, please continue to use services when you need them — including your local pharmacy, and if you need urgent care, use NHS 111 for advice — and thank you for your patience while teams work through very high demand.

▪️If you’re unwell, please avoid visiting others and stay home from work (or school)
▪️Please don’t visit hospitals or care homes if you have symptoms of flu, sickness or diarrhoea
▪️If you’ve been sick or had diarrhoea, stay at home and keep children off school for 48 hours after symptoms stop
▪️Wash your hands regularly with soap and water
▪️Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated
▪️Avoid sharing towels or personal items

🙏By taking these simple steps, you’re helping protect vulnerable people and supporting NHS and care staff at a particularly challenging time.
