We wanted to share some recent figures regarding appointments at Greyfriars surgery.

Over the month of July, we have had a total of 4810 appointments. Out of these, 344 were missed without any prior notice. This has resulted in approximately 106 hours of clinical time being lost — time that could have been used to support other patients.

Missed appointments have a direct impact on the availability of care for everyone. If you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to someone else.

Planning a trip abroad?
Make sure your travel memories don’t come with unwanted souvenirs.

At Greyfriars Surgery, our trained clinicians provide essential travel vaccinations to keep you protected wherever you go.

▪Rabies
▪Typhoid
▪Hepatitis A & B
And more - tailored to your destination.

Book early - some vaccines require multiple doses.

If you are going on holiday and unsure if you need vaccinations, fill out our form which is online (Link below) or come to the surgery and get a physical form.

It is best to do this as soon as possible after booking the holiday as some vaccines require multiple doses, require time for ordering and delivery and also appointment availability.
