Information on vaccinations booked at the surgery for the next couple of weeks ⚠️⚠️

As some patients living in Benson will know, parts of the village had a power cut on Saturday morning. The surgery had a power cut which means that we will not be able to use the vaccines. IF you or someone you know or care for has a vaccine booked in the next two weeks, please expect the practice to be in touch with you reschedule your vaccine.

Thank you for your understanding.
