Bredon Avenue serving all of Coventry
Welcome to the Bredon Avenue Surgery website, where you can access the wide range of health services available at our surgery.
The site provides many online facilities, including a vast range of health information and resources, along with practical information on visiting the surgery. This surgery offers appointments to see a GP or Nurse
Patients can request a routine appointment at reception and choose in Extended Hours hubs across Coventry on Saturday.
We are committed to giving the best possible service to our patients and so in summary we ask that
- Arrange appointments for as far in advance as is appropriate.
- Please help other patients by not requesting an urgent appointment for a problem that can wait a day or so (Mondays are especially busy).
- If you cannot keep your appointment please let us know as soon as possible as it can always be used by someone else.
- Please report to reception on arrival for your appointment.
FEELING UNWELL THIS WINTER? KNOW WHERE TO GO.
Many common winter illnesses can be managed at home, with advice from your local pharmacist when needed.
Coughs, colds and sore throats:
Rest, drink plenty of fluids and allow time to recover.
Ask a pharmacist for advice about suitable remedies.
Antibiotics do not treat viral infections such as most colds.
Minor illnesses and medicines:
Your community pharmacist can advise on many common conditions and suitable over-the counter treatments.
Ask your pharmacist before taking a new medicine if you have long-term conditions or take regular medication.
Help protect yourself:
Follow current NHS advice about recommended vaccinations.
Wash your hands regularly and cover coughs and sneezes.
Keep regular medicines stocked and request repeat prescriptions in good time.
Choose the right service:
Self-care: for mild symptoms that can safely be managed at home.
Community pharmacy / Pharmacy First: for advice about minor illnesses and eligible conditions.
GP practice: for concerns that need a GP or practice clinician.
NHS 111: if you need urgent medical advice but it is not a life-threatening emergency.
