FLU – We will be running Flu clinics on Saturday 5th October. We will be sending you a SMS/text message with a link to self-book a time of your choice. We’re giving you advance notice so that you can plan with family or carers if you need help to come in to the surgery. We will be booking child nasal flu appointments too. If you prefer you can ring up and book an appointment for you and your family members who are eligible. For more details about the flu vaccine, please click the following links:

RSV – Respiratory syncytial virus is a common cause of coughs and colds. It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults.
A vaccine to help protect against RSV will be available on the NHS from 1 September 2024. Please call us to book an appointment if you are eligible. We will be sending you a SMS/text message to remind you to book an appointment for yourself.
You’ll be able to get the vaccine if:
- you’re aged 75 to 79
- you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they’re born
From September, you can speak to your maternity service or GP surgery about getting your RSV vaccination if you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more. For more details about the RSV vaccine, please click the following link:
