Covid Vaccination Update:

Just to update you on the process for your second vaccination:

• You will be contacted by our Primary Care Network (PCN) regarding your appointment.
• Only contact the practice if you have gone past the 12 week mark and have not received an appointment.  We can then pass your details on to the PCN.
• Please make every effort to attend your appointment as we are not able to re-book appointments, we can only pass your details on to the PCN for them to re-arrange.

And lastly – please be kind to our reception team who are doing their best to deal with all your Covid queries as well as doing all their normal work.  Your patience really is appreciated.

If you feel unwell on bank holiday Monday 31 May contact your local pharmacy first for a minor health concern.  They can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as cough, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.

If you have a health condition that cannot be treated by a pharmacist call NHS 111 or go online https://111.nhs.uk/, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  By contacting NHS 111 before going to an Emergency Department (ED) or Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC), it will ensure you GET THE RIGHT HELP in the right place, help keep you, your family and friends SAFE by avoiding too many people being in the waiting room and help you be seen in an agreed time slot.
