Coronvirus / Covid-19 Resource page

This page has been set up as a collection of resources and links to help NHS GPs prepare for the Coronavirus Epidemic. Here are some links which patients may find useful for general advice and services. Please note that I am a South West London / Merton based GP, so some of the information is specific for this area.
