Health and care leaders in Gloucestershire are urging people to follow new lockdown restrictions to save lives and protect the NHS. They have warned of rising hospital admissions and a potential surge in Covid-19 cases in the coming weeks. The NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group say over the last few weeks they have seen a rapid rise in the number of Covid-19 positive patients being admitted to hospitals around the county, with numbers 60 per cent higher than at the peak of the first wave. Chief executive of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Deborah Lee said: “NHS and care staff across Gloucestershire are doing an incredible job in the face of ever growing pressures and the efforts being made to keep essential services functioning are outstanding.

A GP surgery in Yatton has benefitted from a £171,000 grant to make the building more accessible for patients and improve infection control.
The Mendip Vale Medical Group, which runs five GP practices in North Somerset, secured a Minor Improvement Grant (MIG) from NHS England and NHS Improvement to carry out the essential work.
Yatton Surgery, which serves more than 14,000 patients, was awarded the money to improve infection control and make the building more accessible for people with disabilities.
It now has two new clinical rooms which were converted from admin space, increasing the number of clinical rooms available in the surgery by 15 per cent.
