In its original report, Explore Buxton said a coronavirus assessment centre had opened at Buxton Cottage Hospital on 14 April 2020. It reported that Stewart Medical Centre, Buxton Medical Practice, Elmwood Medical Centre and Hartington Surgery worked together on the hub.

The article described a drive-in assessment service for patients with potential coronavirus symptoms who had been referred after triage. It reported that the site was not a testing facility and did not accept walk-ins. These details describe the service as reported in April 2020 and should not be used as current instructions.

The original report quoted Stewart Medical Practice saying the hub brought local practices’ resources together and allowed patients with coronavirus symptoms to be assessed separately. It also thanked the High Peak Primary Care Network, Derbyshire Community Health Services and hospital staff for their work on the project.
