It also explains how consultations using video can help whilst you are not able to visit the surgery with hints and tips how to get the best from a video consultation.

Covid Vaccinations

We will be vaccinating our ‘over 75 year old’ population on Thursday 7 January. You are considered one of our highest risk patients if you were to get Covid. Please contact us on 07402404258 if you are over 75. If you are not in this group we will not be able to vaccinate you yet and request that you DO NOT call the surgery for an appointment: We will contact you when we have a date for your vaccination. Parking will be available on Rosslyn Road and if you have a disabled badge you can park temporarily on the double yellow line on Upton Road.

DO NOT MISS your routine Vaccinations – Child & Adult

NHS England and Public Health England are urging people to attend routine vaccinations to prevent outbreaks of serious diseases as part of a campaign to encourage people to use their NHS if they need it. Parents, in particular, are being urged to make sure pre-school children attend vaccination appointments, and pregnant women are being advised not to miss out on antenatal vaccinations which protect them and their baby.
