Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you have coronavirus symptoms and need medical help for any reason, do not go to your GP or dentist surgery. If you have symptoms (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss/change in sense of smell or taste), use the 111 coronavirus service.

GP services

GP practices in Cornwall are still open, they're just working in new and different ways to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, offering secure telephone, online, and video consultations, to help keep patients safe at a time of social distancing, with face to face appointments if required.  

If you need to see a GP, contact your practice via their website or by phone. You can also order repeat prescriptions via your GP practice website or the NHS App.

If you're on holiday in Cornwall and need to see a doctor, please contact your own GP practice. Practices up and down the country are offering video appointments which mean we can see patients safely and quickly during the pandemic.

Need an NHS dentist?
