If you wish to be vaccinated this year, please ensure you book an appointment. This year, the following groups are eligible for vaccination:

Covid Spring Booster and RSV Vaccinations

There are some changes to who is eligible for vaccination this year. These are outlined below:

Patients will receive a text message to book. We will be sending invites in batches to try and gauge uptake and how many vaccinators we will require.

As RSV season runs from October to March, we will be inviting patients to attend RSV clinics during the summer months i.e. From June onwards.

Please wait to receive your invite before contacting the surgery. We will contact those without a mobile phone by alternative means.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Unfortunately in recent weeks we have seen an increase in abusive behaviour aimed towards members of our team. Whilst we understand the challenges faced by patients in the current health care environment, it is never appropriate to abuse our staff.
