The first phase of the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme has started.

When it is the right time people will receive an invitation to come forward.

For most people this will be a letter, either from their GP or the national NHS.

This letter will include all the information you will need to book appointments, including your NHS number.

Please do not contact the NHS to get an appointment until you get this letter.

Information on the vaccine is available on the NHS.UK website

We are now taking bookings for our  flu vaccinations, these include the 50-64 vaccine!!

We ask that you contact the surgery at your earliest convenience to book your appointment to avoid dissapointment

We are also taking bookings for Fluenz Nasal Spray appointments for children aged 2 & 3 years old

During the flu season we ask:

DO NOT arrive before your allocated time. You MUST wear a face mask and your temperature will be taken on the day. No car park facilities will be available on the day and social distancing will apply.

It is vital that you DO NOT attend for the vaccination if you or a member of your household currently has symptoms of COVID-19 or if you are self isolating due to contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19

Please note that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.  If you are 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier.

If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 you MUST not attend the surgery. All patients are being advised to log on to the NHS 111 online for further advice.

The surgery is open from 8am-6:30pm. If you have an urgent problem during these times please ring the surgery. At all other times ring NHS111

All services from Manchester Road are currently suspended until further notice, Holes Lane does have restricted access but continues to operate as normal. The online and telephone appointment booking system is temporarily suspended. You must use E-Consult as your first method of contact for treatment & advice.

Due to COVID we are operating what is know as total triage, this is a virtual appointment. Your GP or nurse will review your problem and will then depending on your needs:

• Offer you advice via text
