That included:
🔹Nurse appointments - 5 hours and 40 minutes
🔹Mental health worker appointments - 2 hours 15 minutes
🔹Paramedic appointments - 1 hour 45 minutes
🔹GP appointments - 1 hours 30 minutes

We understand that plans change, and sometimes you can't make your appointment. If this happens, please contact the practice and let us know. We can then give that time to another patient who needs it.

Thank you 💙

When you need help, A&E might seem like the obvious choice. But there are many quick and easy ways to get NHS help for non-emergencies.

For urgent medical help, you can access NHS 111 by calling, going online or by using the NHS App.

Get the right care, in the right place, at the right time – and help free-up emergency services for those who need them most this winter.

From 12pm tomorrow (Thursday 4 December), our GP practice team will be taking part in an education and training session. During this time, our practice will be running with reduced capacity.

These sessions help us stay up to date, develop our skills, and continue to provide the best possible care for our patients.

During this time, you will still be able to submit a SystmConnect. If you need to speak to someone, we have Vocare cover in place. Just call the practice on the usual number and you will be redirected.

We will be open from 8.00am on Friday as usual.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

How quickly does the flu vaccine start working?

After getting the flu vaccine, it can take your body up to a couple of weeks to build up immunity against the virus. This is why it’s important to get vaccinated before peak flu season to give yourself and others the best protection.

If you’re eligible, you’ll receive a text message with booking instructions.

Thank you for helping us create a safe winter environment for everyone.

‘I had the flu vaccine last year so I don’t need it again’

Every year the flu virus changes which means the vaccines also need to change. Getting the yearly flu vaccine will help your body create the best protection against the virus to prevent you from becoming seriously unwell.

If you’re eligible, you can get the vaccine from your Northumbria Primary Care GP practice.

Thank you for helping us create a safe winter environment.
