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 groups who are normally 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.

The latest information on symptoms of coronavirus infection can be found on https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service – 111.nhs.uk –  that can tell you if you need medical help and advise you what to do.

Use this service if you think you might have coronavirus.

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

If you have developed a cough OR a high temperature in the last 7 days you are advised to self-isolate for 7 days if you live alone or 14 days if you live with others.

Everyone is being reminded to follow the public health advice on the NHS website to avoid catching or spreading coronavirus.

We are offering telephone appointments with the doctors and nurses who will assess your condition prior to offering you an appointment if you need one.

Please help us to protect the staff and doctors in order to keep the practice open.
