Blood Pressure Readings

If you are under regular review for blood pressure (BP) medication or hypertension, it is important that your BP is monitored during appointments at the surgery, rather than through the pharmacy.  This ensures your BP is assessed in a clinical setting where the GP or nurse can properly review the results.  Your blood pressure will be checked as part of your annual review.  Alternatively, if you'd like to monitor your BP between visits, you are welcome to use the machine available in the waiting room.  Please remember it is important to have your BP taken while at rest, as this provides a more stable baseline reading that reflects your body's normal pressure.  This helps to ensure a more accurate reading and correct diagnosis of any blood pressure-related condition.

Covid Vaccinations

The surgery is being used as a Covid vaccination centre on Saturdays throughout the 2025 Spring booster campaign. 
 
All appointments must be booked through the NHS national booking service (online or by calling 119). The programme is all managed externally by this service.
 
Our receptionists do not have access to this booking system and are therefore unable to confirm or book appointments.
 
Please do not call the surgery for this as unfortunately our reception staff will not be able to help.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination

We are now taking bookings for free RSV vaccination appointments at the surgery.

If you are aged between 75-79 years you will be eligible for an RSV vaccination from the 1st September 2024. 

The surgery will contact eligible patients via text message with a booking link.

Eligible patients without a mobile number will be contacted via letter.

Please note that you should not have any other vaccine within 7 days of the RSV vaccine. This is to ensure best immune response.
