Practice Updates
Sharing Information Including Test Results
A polite reminder that we cannot disclose any medical information - including results - of any patient aged 16 and over other than to the patient themselves. The only exception would be if we had permission from the patient or if a relative/carer had a Lasting Power of Attorney (Health and Welfare)
Covid Testing
We regret that we cannot organise or fast track Covid tests for our patients. To arrange a test visit Covid Testing or call 119. This applies to both adults and children.
Flu Vaccines
We are expecting a significantly higher demand for flu vaccination this year due to additional groups of patients being eligible.
We are now accepting bookings for flu clinic
Please note that if you are aged between 50 and 64, and not in a clinical at risk group, the earliest you will be offered a flu vaccination is November - providing there is sufficient vaccination. We cannot offer appointments for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.
If you are aged 50 to 64 and are in a clinical at risk group, you will be vaccinated sooner.
