We are pleased to report that our new telephone system is being installed week commencing 2^nd November 2020.  This will help us to improve our telephone service to patients.  We hope disruption will be minimal but would ask that you bear with us while we ensure our staff receive the training they need to operate the system as efficiently as possible.

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.

Flu vaccines this year will be given by appointment only to patients eligible. Please do not come to the surgery without an appointment. Click here for more information.
