❗️❗️FLU and COVID vaccinations – The national campaign is underway❗️❗️
We have now started vaccinating our patients. Please ensure you have your appointment boked.
Patients who are eligible and have a mobile number have been contacted via text with a self-booking link. Simply follow the link and book your appointment.
For those patients that do not have a mobile phone, then we will aim to invite you via phone. You are welcome to call the surgery to book your appointment.
Our appointments are available online so patients will be able to book via the NHS app.
Please be aware that not all patients are eligible for COVID vaccination.
For those patients that receive a self-booking link it will be clear whether you have been invited for both or not, and the self-booking link will take you to the correct appointment slot.
Staff will be able to advise if you are unsure.
