HPV Vaccination Catch-up Campaign - 16 to 24 year olds.
HPV stands for Human Papillomavirus, a group of over 100 related viruses. It’s extremely common, with around 7 in 10 people getting infected at some stage in their lives. Because HPV has no symptoms, it can spread easily without being noticed. In most cases, the infection clears on its own, but if it persists, it can lead to certain types of cancer.
NHS England has launched a catch-up campaign for the HPV vaccine, targeting 16 to 25-year-olds whose records show they did not get their HPV vaccination in school.
If you believe yours is outstanding please contact us to arrange an appointment.
Please note this program is restricted to patients in this age range 16-24

Important Update: Continued Access to Services at Your GP Practice

You may have seen recent news coverage about changes to some GP surgeries across North and West Cumbria and their decision to step back from providing certain services. This is due to increasing workload pressures and concerns on how this impacts patient access to GP services.

We want to reassure our patients that there will be no current changes to our services for:
• Blood tests
• ECGs
• Physical health monitoring for patients on specialist mental health medication
• Pre- and post-operative blood testing
• Wound care
• Blood monitoring for specialist treatments such as chemotherapy or biological therapies
We are currently working closely with NHS colleagues across the system to ensure that services are delivered in the right setting, at the right time, and in a way that best supports the health and wellbeing of our patients.

If you have any concerns or questions, please speak to a member of your practice team.

Thank you for your continued support.
