Did you miss your HPV vaccine in school?
Everyone eligible aged between 16 years and 24 years are being invited into the surgery to catch up on their missed HPV vaccine from when they were in school.
(All females born on or before 01/09/2009 – up to their 25th birthday; and males born from 01/09/2006 to 31/08/2009 (inclusive))
The HPV vaccination is given to boys and girls in year 8 at school, but some people may have missed it at the time. If you were offered the vaccine in school and missed it, you can catch up anytime until your 25th birthday.
The HPV vaccine helps protects against a common infection called HPV, that in some cases can lead to some types of cancer, such as cervical, head and neck.
Speak to your GP surgery to check you have had your vaccine, and if you missed it, you can book your appointment to catch up.
For more information on HPV and the HPV vaccine see the NHS website (https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/hpv-vaccine/)

Did you know your Surgery has a Patient Participation Group?🤔

🚨TRIAGE🚨
To help us manage high demand and ensure everyone receives the care they need, we use a triage system in line with NHS guidelines.

This system is designed to ensure that all patients are assessed on clinical need and then directed to the most appropriate care, by the most appropriate person, in the most appropriate timeframe. As part of this approach, you may be offered an appointment within a two-week period rather than being seen on the day.

Urgent medical needs continue to be prioritised, and same-day appointments are still available when clinically appropriate.

Non-urgent concerns may be scheduled within the following two weeks.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support as we work to provide the best possible care for all our patients.
