CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:

Following Government guidelines ALL patients visiting the practice will be asked to wear a face covering. If you present at the practice without a face covering we will have to send you away .

Face coverings are not only to protect yourself but also the safety of other patients as well as our Doctors, Nurses & other staff members.

We thought this handy government link on ways you can make your own face coverings would be helpful; they don’t have to be a surgical masks.

COVID-19 VACCINATION (updated 18 Jan 2021)

The first phase of the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme has started.

When it is the right time people will be contacted by the practice.

For most people this will be a letter, either from their GP or the national NHS.

This letter will include all the information you will need to book appointments, including your NHS number.

Please do not contact the practice to get an appointment unless the letter comes from the practice.  We are currently receiving a high number of calls about the national NHS letters that have been sent.  

The practice is currently inviting patients in following the NHS guidance regarding the priority groups.  We are not able to change patients' priority at the current time.  

Information on the vaccine is available on the NHS.UK website

NHS Health at Home Campaign

The NHS Health at Home campaign signposts you to the information you need to access NHS services online from home. As well as general assets for those with health concerns, ordering repeat prescriptions and video consolations, specific assets are now available for some long-term illnesses/vulnerable patients such as those with diabetes or asthma and pregnant people and new parents.
