If you have a flu vaccination appointment booked with us please read this as its very important!!!!
How the Flu clinics will run this year....
- When you attend for your flu vaccination we will be letting a maximum of 15 people in at a time, those who are booked in for a particular time slot.
- If you are early you will be asked to wait until your appointment time, so please arrive for the correct time you have been given.
- Please do not bring anyone with you who does not have an appointment.
- You will have your temperature checked before you are allowed in the building so please do not come if you feel unwell. You will also be asked to use our hand sanitiser.
- Please wear a mask or face covering to protect yourself and others.
- You will be asked to have your coat off and arm ready for the clinician so please wear loose clothing.
- You will be asked some questions by admin staff regarding consent and if you have had a vaccination in previous years.
- You will then spend as little time as possible with the clinician whilst you have the actual vaccination, so please do not try to ask about other problems, this appointment is purely for a flu vaccination and nothing else.
- There will be reception staff around to help guide you round the building so we can ensure all patients are socially distanced.
In line with recent government recommendations, from Monday 18th May 2020 we expect all patients entering our building to wear a face covering. It should be cotton ideally.
This link explains the science behind our decision:

These coverings can be made from things you've already got at home, like an old T-shirt, or even a sports sock with just a few well-made snips with scissors and a little bit of sewing. But if you're not so confident in your creative abilities, there are plenty of companies online that can be found with a quick Google search.
Children under 2 are not expected to wear a face covering.
Younger children (primary) who cannot manage a mask are also not expected to wear one
Our entire practice team will be doing the same.
Face coverings protect *other people* from droplets that you may release into the air, they do not protect you unless everyone wears them.
In England, you must by law wear a face covering in the following settings:
Thank you for your continued support and understanding
PATIENT ACCESS....
Patient Access allows patients to access their online services at their local GP practice. These may include arranging appointments, ordering your repeat medication, secure messages, viewing your medical record and updating your contact details.
Patient Access allows clinicians to be more efficient in providing care, while patients are quickly able to receive the help they need without having to travel to the practice.
Please see reception to register for online services. Bring photo ID with you if you wish to register.
Do you have children aged 5 and under.....
Children aged 5 and under with an urgent medical condition will be seen on the same day. Please ring before midday for an appointment with a GP. For anything routine please book in advance
Emergency/On The Day Appointments
Emergency appointments are available every day. These are for patients with an urgent problem that cannot wait for a routine appointment. Patients who require an emergency appointment must see ANY available GP or ANP. We can only offer a limited amount of appointments each day.
Emergency/On The Day appointments are available to book from 8.00am Monday to Friday
Get Well, Keep Well
Of course we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.
