Global IT issue affecting GP practices and pharmacies nationally.

Due to the current worldwide IT outage, our GP clinical system and vital operating software is not functioning. This means we do not have access to medical records, appointments and prescribing facilities.

Dear Patients

Flu and Covid vaccination Information

NHS England has delayed the start to this year’s vaccination programmes to the 7th Oct 2023.
Unfortunately, this means even though we have the flu vaccine in our practice we won't be able to give it until this date. We will run the first flu and Covid clinic on the 7th of October at Hythe Hospital.

We will be sending an invite to eligible patients very soon to book your Flu and Covid vaccinations. The invite will book you into a Covid clinic however you will have your flu vaccination at the same time.

Please use this as an opportunity to support your practice, the delivery of Flu and Covid vaccinations is extremely important to the ongoing delivery of healthcare you receive.

Thank you for your support and patience. Please wait for your invite from us to book your vaccination, we are aiming to have everyone vaccinated by the end of Oct 2023.
