The NI childhood immunisation schedule is changing giving even better protection with the introduction of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.

From January 2026, eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

As with other childhood immunisations, parents will be contacted by their GP surgery to arrange an appointment if their child is eligible. If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor or GP.

🌟'Strong Through Song' Program!🌟

Over eight weeks, patients from Aberfoyle Medical Practice, Clarendon Medical and Oakleaf GP practices attended sessions aimed at improving lung health.

Beyond physical improvements, the program fostered strong friendships, boosted participant confidence, and significantly lifted moods.

Keep an eye out for new groups thay will be running in the New Year.

📢 Important Patient Notice

Due to the significant increase in demand and winter pressures, we are temporarily suspending all pre-bookable routine appointments until the New Year.

This decision allows us to prioritise urgent and on-the-day care so we can support those with the most immediate medical needs during this busy period.

We understand this may be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Our EMIS computer system is currently down, and staff are unable to access patient medical records.
