We’re delighted to share that after several years of GP training—including the last two here at Hoyland—Dr Oliver Giles has now fully qualified as a GP.

He has shown himself to be an excellent doctor, a valued member of our team, and a caring presence for our patients and the local community.

And the best news? He’s staying with us! We’re thrilled to welcome him as a permanent GP at the surgery.

Congratulations, Dr Giles!

LAST CALL! 🤧
This season's Covid vaccine rollout has been a great success - thanks to everyone who got vaccinated and thanks to our nursing staff who have worked very hard!
There are now just 54 vaccines left in the surgery, and they expire in 3 days. To make sure no dose goes to waste, we'll be holding a Covid vaccine walk-in clinic on TUESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER from 9am-4pm - no appointment needed.
54 vaccines will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis When they're gone, they're gone - we will post an update on here.

**Eligibility criteria: you need to be aged 75 and over, or less than 75 but immunosuppressed. If unsure, please check whether we sent you a text message.

Help protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. It's quick, easy and could make a big difference this winter.

Stay safe and see you soon! 🩵

You've probably seen the recent headlines about rising flu cases and health experts urging people to get protected. While there's no need to panic, it's a good reminder that flu really can knock you off your feet - and for some, it can lead to serious illness.

We're offering flu vaccines for all eligible patients all week, and there's no need to book - just pop in any time from 9am-1pm and let the receptionist know you're here. (If you need it beyond 1pm, just phone up beforehand and we can book you in later in the day)

It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a big difference - helping to protect you, your loved ones and our community this winter. Remember: building immunity from now will keep you protected from flu all season, including over the Christmas period.

Stay well, stay cosy, don't let flu spoil your winter plans!❄️

💉 Walk-In Flu & COVID Jabs Are Back! 💉

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent walk-in vaccine clinics and shared such helpful feedback! 🩵
Many of you told us how much you liked the flexibility, so we’re bringing the clinics back!
We’ll be running walk-in flu and COVID vaccine clinics every day this coming week from 9am to 12 noon.
With flu and COVID cases on the rise, now’s a great time to get protected.
No need to book – just pop in and get your jab!* 💪

*Subject to eligibility. If you have received a text message from the surgery, you are eligible. If you haven't, you are not eligible at this stage but we will update you via text should the criteria change. Thank you

The outage remains. We still cannot access patient records, without which we cannot carry out consultations or book patients in. If you had a pre-booked appointment between now and 10am, please DO NOT attend the surgery for it - we will reschedule it for you later once we are back online. Thank you

21/10/2025

🚨 PLEASE NOTE: there is currently no internet access in the area, meaning that the surgery cannot access our computer systems. **Therefore we cannot book anyone in for appointments**
If you have a pre-booked appointment between now and 9am, please DO NOT attend. We will reschedule it for you later.
For appointments from after 9am, please follow here for updates.
We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause. Unfortunately it’s entirely outside of our control.

🌸 Bake Sale for Epilepsy Society 🌸

Epilepsy Society is a UK charity leading the way in supporting and advocating for people with epilepsy, funding research, and providing care.

By joining us, you’ll not only enjoy some delicious homemade treats from members of our team, but also help us make a real difference. 🍰🧁

🌍 International Collaboration in Primary Care

Our practice recently welcomed Dr. Bakhit, an international doctor, for a clinical attachment. During this placement, Dr. Bakhit undertook a study on how we can improve the early identification of ‘red flag’ symptoms in patients presenting with a red eye.
Her work will help us spot serious eye problems sooner and ensure that patients get the right care quickly.
We look forward to working with more colleagues from across the globe to share knowledge and learning across healthcare systems.

📚✏️ Back to School – A Healthy Start

With children having returned to school, we know it’s an exciting but sometimes stressful time for families. A few quick reminders to help young people start the term happy and healthy:

✅ Immunisations – Make sure your child is up to date with their vaccines. If you’re unsure, check their red book or contact us.
✅ Healthy habits – Encourage good sleep routines, balanced meals, and regular handwashing to help fight off those back-to-school bugs.
✅ Asthma & allergies – If your child uses inhalers, auto-injectors, or other medication, check they’re in date and let the school know about their care plan (if applicable).
✅ Mental wellbeing – Starting a new school year can feel overwhelming. Talk to your child about their worries, and check out the links in the comments section if you feel extra support might be needed

The whole team at Hoyland Medical Practice wishes all pupils, parents and staff a smooth and healthy start to the school year! 🍎✨
