This year's autumn Covid-19 boosters and flu vaccinations will begin earlier than planned.

Vaccines will be offered to adult care home residents and those most at risk first, starting on 11 September.

The NHS will announce when and how further eligible groups will be able to book an appointment.

Please do not contact your GP practice or community pharmacy until further information is announced.

It's very important, when invited, to come forward for your vaccinations as soon as possible to ensure you are fully protected.

• NHS services across the North East & North Cumbria Region are experiencing extremely high demand at the moment – this includes GP practices and the 111 service which are both extremely busy
• If you need advice for a minor/mild illness or injury, in the first instance, please either contact your local pharmacy for help or look at the self-care advice that’s available on-line from the NHS at www.nhs.uk
• If you want to check your symptoms, there is an on-line symptom checker available at 111.nhs.uk, which will re-direct you to a health professional if you need to be consulted by someone

Four ways to seek healthcare advice from a GP

• Call your surgery to discuss a face-to-face or remote (telephone or video) appointment
• Visit your GP surgery website and complete a confidential online form known as an e-consult
• Call NHS 111 or go online to seek advice https://111.nhs.uk/
• Download the NHS App to order repeat prescriptions, book appointments and check your symptoms

Important Information regarding Influenza Vaccinations for 50-64 year olds

We have been advised by NHS England that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated against Influenza 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.

From 1st June 2020 we are moving to electronic prescriptions only.  For more information visit www.nhs.uk/eps

E-consults

You can now use our new e-consultion service for advice about a range of medical problems and use this to request medications or sick notes.

Cervical Screening Campaign 2023

We are currently promoting cervical screening in Practice - our Nurse Daljit appeared on ITV news promoting screening in the area.  If you are overdue your smear please phone the practice to book with a nurse.  This simple procedure can save your life.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Our phone lines are extremely busy every morning.  Please be patient.  Same day Nurse Practitioner appointments are open from 8am and same day GP appointments from 8am.  Our receptionists will ask you a series of questions to ensure that you see the right person and that you are seen within an appropriate timescale.  This is at the GP Partners request so please try to answer as much as you can. 

Our Nurse Practitioners can see you for all problems - but they do not see pregnant ladies or children under 2.  They can make referrals.

Please call after 1pm if you are ringing for results.  If you have been sent a letter to make an appointment with a GP within 28 days this is not urgent so please call after 10.30 to pre-book a non urgent appointment.

Thankyou
