COVID 19 – update 18th October 2022
We have recently revisited our guidance with regards to people either who are COVID positive or with ‘Covid-like symptoms’.
Patients attending the Practice
- There is no routine requirement for patients to undertake lateral flow testing (LFT)prior to coming to the surgery if they do not have any symptoms that might be COVID (cough, sneeze, sore throat etc)
- If a patient is symptomatic, please wear a face covering when visiting the Practice.
- If a patient has a positive LFT and needs to be seen at the GP surgery, please call the Practice on 01481 724184 to book an appointment and we will advise you of the best course of action – this will usually involve waiting in your car/ away from other patients and enabling your GP/ Nurse to wear appropriate protective equipment before they see you
- Patients are welcome to wear face masks if they choose when attending the Practice
We would like to thank all of you for being so helpful

Pelvic Physio Guernsey
On Sunday 6th of November a group of Queens Road GPs set off on a bike ride from Queens Road Medical Centre to Longfrie Surgery in aid of 'Ride For Their Lives'.
Ride for their Lives (RFTL) 2022 is a global campaign by paediatric and other healthcare providers to inspire the healthcare community to protect children and patients from the disastrous effects of the climate crisis.
The rides are set up between two or more healthcare locations. Our Guernsey Ride for the Their Lives was timed to coincide with the start of COP27 and we hope next year to organise a bigger and more impactful event.
Riders were: Dr Toumazi, Dr Swainston, Dr Lavarello, Dr Vila, Dr Savident and her husband Alec Gibson.
Today we’re sporting our bright tights for #BrightTightsDay 🌈 Supporting local people affected by Gynaecological cancers.
Learn more about the cause at www.brighttights.org.gg and don’t forget to donate! 😊
I hope James is wearing his!

FREE MENOPAUSE EDUCATIONAL TALK - WEDNESDAY 16th NOVEMBER
Are you on a menopause journey? Whether you're approaching it or experiencing symptoms, menopause can affect everyone differently and it's so important to talk about it.
We were delighted at the overwhelming response we had to our free menopause educational evenings with Dr Petra du Plessis last year. They were a great success. From what we’ve heard, there seems to be a lack of understanding in the wider community on this topic and it was fantastic to see so many of you interested in learning more. We have therefore planned another!
This year’s will take place in the Carol Hindes Room at Les Cotils on Wednesday 16th November at 7.00pm for an hour.
The talk will cover symptoms, diagnosis, medical and non-medical treatments along with the associated risks and benefits, with time to answer questions at the end.
NUMBERS ARE LIMITED SO PLEASE EMAIL MANDY REGAN AT mandyregan@eqrmp.com TO GUARANTEE YOUR PLACE.
In the meantime, if anyone has any questions about the menopause (or women’s health in general) or would like to book an appointment with their GP, please call us on 724184.
