For individuals to book aged 40 or over or, over the age of 16 with a health condition that put them at greater risk of covid (immuno suppressed - these individuals will have been contacted already too book) can either call 119 or book online : https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/book-or-manage-a-booster-dose-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine/
Many people are trying to pre book their jab a week or weeks in advance as any organised individual would do, however they are not accepting or taking any bookings in advance until that person has reached the exact 6 month period, for example if you called today to book an appointment for tomorrow when you reach the 6 months mark they would not be able to book you in.
You should continue to contact the practice via telephone or using our online services. Face-to-face appointment will be offered where clinically required.
If you are offered a face-to-face appointment you should attend the practice alone where possible due to social distancing measures, and you will be required to wear a face covering unless you are medically exempt.
You will also be required to sanitise your hands on arrival and when leaving the surgery.
Please be assured that we continue to offer high quality and safe healthcare as we have throughout this challenging time. We would like to thank you for your continued support and understanding.
After much deliberation and discussion, the Practice has concluded that Open Access surgeries are no longer sustainable and will not be returning.
Although well liked, even prior to the pandemic they were proving difficult to sustain. In Long Clawson for example there were often 30-40 patients in the waiting room and wait times could be 1-2 hours. In view of this, we are shortly launching a new way to access help and advice from your GP Practice.
If you contact the Practice, either online or by telephone, before 11:00am, Monday to Friday, your request will be directed to the most appropriate person or we will give you information or advice which will best address your concerns. Face to face appointments, on the day if necessary, will continue to be offered if the clinician feels it appropriate.
We ask you to provide us with as much information as you can, as this allows us to deal with your request more efficiently.
Thank you for bearing with us during these hugely stressful times for everyone. We have been touched by the many kind messages of support whilst we have strived to provide you with the best service we can. Click here to read the letter >>
Our Flu Vaccinations have arrived and we are ready for you to start booking your appointments. Appointments are available to book online for eligible patients on the NHS App or Patient Access. If you do not have access to either of these platforms please call our reception team to book your appointment.
Anyone over 50 years of age, those who are under 50 with certain long term health conditions, pregnant women, registered carers and those who are immunosuppressed along with their household are recommended to have their flu vaccination this year.
If you do not wish to have the vaccination or have had it elsewhere, please let us know.
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.
If you are aged 18+ and you live in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, you will find details on this page about how to get your vaccine.
Please read this leaflet which explains everything you need to know about the Vaccination plans.
