**PARENTS OF WILLIAM HOWARD SCHOOL**

We are aware that today a letter has been provided to some parents with children who attend William Howard School that they need to contact their GP Practice to check on their child's Immunisation status.

Can we please appeal to parents to help keep our phone lines and reception desks free and make requests if you need too, via our online triage system where possible. You are also able to check this information via the NHS App if you have set up access. If you are unable to complete the form and submit directly to our triage system our reception team can complete this for you however, it will join the same que that it would if its completed by you. Our online link is below

*Men ACWY Vaccine offered at age 13/14 years (School Years 9/10)

If your child has had this vaccination via the school Immunisation team, you will likely have received an email directly from the team advising that your child received this vaccination at school, please check your email records for this information. Search school.immunisations in your email inbox.

*Men B Vaccine ages 2, 4 and 12 months as part of the infant Immunisation programme

*Men C 12-13 months as part of the infant Immunisation programme

Immunisations given as part of infant Immunisation will be recorded in your baby record book, commonly called The Red Book

IMPORTANT - our reception team cannot give out any patient information including Immunisation status, this information must be checked by members of our clinical team who will need time to undertake these checks.

***SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS***

Effective this Saturday 7th March, ALL Saturday pre-booked appointments will be based at our Main Brampton site rather than our Brampton White Lion building.

If you are attending for a Saturday pre-booked appointment please use the REAR disabled access doors of our MAIN Brampton site.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer a walk in service for appointments. All Saturday appointments must be pre-booked

This change is to ensure both our dispensary and practice teams can work from the same building
on a Saturday as opposed to opening Two sites.

Our main site rear access doors are as accessible to patients as our White Lion building and all appointments will be on the ground floor of the main building, so access and times all remain exactly as they have on a Saturday, this is just a location change across the road.

Many thanks
Brampton Medical Practice Team

What a fantastic and productive PPG (Patient Participation Meeting) we had this evening.

We are absolutely delighted with the positivity in the room. Yes, we had some of those difficult conversations, yes we were rightly challenged on behalf of the wider patient population on some areas, but this was all done in a professional & fair way allowing practice representatives to provide feedback.

THANK YOU for your time this evening, it was a real pleasure to meet with you and we look forward to working together with you as we navigate through the ever changing world of Primary Care.
