It can help you plan how to protect yourself and members of your family from infection by COVID-19 and ‘flu.  

It’s easy to use and only takes 10 minutes - just click on this link:

Penryn Surgery remains open, our Doctors are available to speak to in a booked telephone consultation for any health concerns you may have.

Please wear a face covering when entering the surgery

- we ask patients not to physically attend the surgery unless instructed to do so, in order to protect others.

- we would also urge patients not to order extra medication, or order earlier than usual, as this will create shortages in medications for others. 

- we have ensured continued access to a GP, this will be initially via a telephone call. Online booking has been suspended.

- contact the surgery if you are concerned about any health issue or are concerned you have symptoms of cancer.

Thank you all for your support during these challenging times.
