PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE SURGERY TO REQUEST MEDICATION, we are not accepting paper requests at the current time, we are encouraging all patients to sign up for online services, via the NHS app or patient access. We are also encouraging all patients to sign up for EPS (Electronic Prescription Service) this enables you to request your medication online from us we will then forward electronically to your chemist of choice.

If you are concerned that you may have coronavirus or may have come into contact with someone who has, the NHS 111 online service has created coronavirus pages that tell patients what they should do based on their particular circumstances.

************FLU CLINICS********************

We are now booking flu clinics for all patients aged 65 + and patients in an at risk category, please telephone the surgery to book an appointment. We are working hard to keep patients and staff safe during these unusual circumstances. Please attend at the time given to you, this will help with social distancing and hopefully avoid the need to queue outside in the elements. You will need wear a face covering whilst in the building.

Please note that people in the 50 to 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 to 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 flu, you will be invited earlier.

Electronic Prescribing

We are upgrading to the next phase of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) which will mean that almost all our prescriptions will be processed electronically from 7th September 2020.
