North Bristol surgery creates Tik Tok video to reassure patients the practice is still safe to visit
Staff at Monks Park Surgery, in Bristol, have created a TikTok video to reassure patients that the surgery is still safe to visit.
They were inspired by concerns that patients with serious illnesses may not be seeking medical attention due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The surgery serves more than 8,000 people in Horfield, Lockleaze and Southmead.
Jenny Godden, Community Resources Lead and Secretary for Monks Park Surgery said: "We want to reassure our patients that we’re still there for them and consulting, although we’re doing things a little bit differently to how they’re used to.
"Together with my daughter, Maisie, some family friends and some very willing colleagues we produced this short video with our team of GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants and administration staff."
The video has now been viewed more than 6,500 times and staff say they are 'absolutely astonished' with the response.
