This is your last chance to book your Spring COVID-19 booster vaccine at our surgery.

If you are aged 75 or over, or have a weakened immune system, you may be invited to book your booster to help maintain strong protection against COVID-19.

💉 Why get vaccinated?
Protection from previous doses can fade over time, and this booster helps reduce your risk of serious illness.

If you’ve been putting off your smear test because you’re worried, nervous, or unsure what to expect — you’re not alone🩷

A smear test is a quick and simple check that can help prevent cervical cancer. It’s completely okay to feel anxious, and our team will always do everything we can to make you feel comfortable, respected, and at ease.

If something doesn’t feel right, or you’re due (or overdue) for your screening, don’t wait. Coming in could give you peace of mind — or catch something early when it’s easiest to treat.

Reach out to book your appointment or speak to us if you have questions. No concern is too small.
