Pneumonia Vaccination


Are you aged 65 or over?  Have you ever had a pneumonia vaccination?  If not, you are entitled to a free vaccination.  Please telephone your registered GP's PA to book an appointment.


If you need to phone us

Monday mornings are extremely busy for GP surgerys so if you need to phone us for something that is not urgent, please try at another time.  Hopefully this will mean that patients with urgent problems find it easier to contact us on Monday mornings.


HPV Vaccination

HPV vaccinations represent a tremendous step forward in preventative health care - please see under 'Clinics and Services' for details of NHS and private vaccination.
 
Cancelling your Appointment

If you are unable to attend an appointment with one of the doctors or nurses, please use the link on this page (if more than 24 hours in advance), use Appointments Online (if you have a username and password) or telephone your registered GP's PA to cancel your appointment.
By giving us as much notice as you can you are helping us to make sure that someone else is given your slot.
