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 or a new, continuous cough), 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.

Need an NHS dentist?
