COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Update
We are currently experiencing demand from patients who wish to book their COVID-19 vaccination. Whilst we are pleased that so many of you are planning to get your vaccine, it is not yet available and therefore we are not booking any patients into clinics. Our phone lines remain extremely busy so we are asking patients not to call the practice to request your vaccine. As soon as it is available, we will make it clear how and when you can make your appointment.
