We are currently operating a service for EMERGENCY AND URGENT NEEDS ONLY.

Our GPs, nurses and other practice staff are working to prioritise the urgent needs of patients during the Omicron Covid-19 infection surge.

PLEASE ONLY CONTACT YOUR SURGERY IF YOUR MATTER IS AN EMERGENCY OR IS OF URGENT NEED. DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOUR MATTER IS ROUTINE.

Remember you can request regular medication orders through your chemist, who will ensure your GP surgery is made aware of your need.

Thank you for playing your part in this current emergency.

Get the NHS App - See The NHS App information page for details of features on offer

You can also visit www.patientaccess.com to register for a GP Online services account - Before you start, please read the guide on how to register  Note: You do not need a letter from the practice, and although the site advises you to present identification documents at the practice, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS. In most cases your GP will be able to vouch for you to allow your account to be activated. Please DO NOT come to the surgery to present identification documents.

Once you have registered at PatientAccess.com, the practice will review the information and activate your GP Online Access account. Once your account is active, you will be notified by email and also SMS message if you have provided a current mobile number.

A supplier to the NHS has advised us of a global shortage of some equipment used for taking blood tests. Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems, will still get one but where your clinician recommends that it’s safe to do so, then you may be asked to come back for a test at a later date, or your appointment may be rescheduled. Given the nature of the shortage, we cannot give an exact date for when the test will be rescheduled, but please be assured that if your condition or symptoms require it, then you will get a test, and we will be re-booking your test when supplies become more easily available. If your condition or symptoms change or get worse, please contact the NHS as you would normally.

Guidance on making your own face covering and information on obtaining an exemption card if medically appropriate

If you have a new continuous cough or a high temperature of more than 37.8 degrees celsius or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste, stay at home for 10 days. If you live with other people, they should stay at home for 10 days from the day the first person got symptoms.You do not need to call NHS111 or contact your GP to go into self-isolation. Look after your symptoms at home: rest and drink plenty of fluids, take paracetamol or ibuprofen, cover the mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, put used tissues in a bin and wash your hands regularly with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. If you feel you can’t cope with your symptoms at home or your condition gets worse use the 111 online service at 111.nhs.uk or telephone 111 if you do not have internet access. Please do not go to a GP, pharmacy or hospital.

Please see the latest information here regarding the UK COVID-19 vaccination programme.

How to get your COVID-19 vaccine

The COVID-19 vaccines currently available are given in 2 doses. You usually have the 2nd dose 8 to 12 weeks after the 1st dose.

If you're aged 18 or over (or will turn 18 within 3 months) you can:

• book your COVID-19 vaccination appointments online for an appointment at a vaccination centre or pharmacy
• find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site to get vaccinated without needing an appointment
• wait to be contacted by your GP surgery and book your appointments with them

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. You can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service.

If you need a confirmation letter of COVID-19 vaccination, please download the NHS App or see NHS COVID pass letter.  Letters are not available through your GP practice.

The Vaccine Data Resolution Service (VDRS) aims to resolve missing or incorrect vaccination records for people vaccinated in England who have a current NHS number and are registered with a GP practice in England.
The service has been established by NHS England and NHS Improvement, in partnership with NHS Digital, and is delivered by both the South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW CSU) and by South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS).

Please note: 119 and VDRS call agents will not provide clinical advice and cannot assist at this time with queries related to vaccinations received overseas. If the query relates to personal information that is incorrect on the patient record (e.g. name, address), these  need to be resolved by your GP practice.

If you believe you have missing or incorrect COVID-19 vaccination data, please call 119 and ask the call agent to make a referral to the VDRS team on your behalf. The VDRS team will then call you back.
