💉Flu & Covid Vaccinations Winter 2025

💙 This year our Flu and Covid vaccinations will be given at the same time in one appointment to those that are entitled to both.
Invitations will be sent in bulk via text message. This will enable you to book straight into the clinic without having to try and get through on the telephone.

💙 We are planning to hold our Flu & Covid clinics on each Saturday in October as follows:
Saturday 4th October, Saturday 11th October, Saturday 18th October & Saturday 25th October.

💙 We will also have mid-week clinics available for you to book into

💙 How will the clinics run?

💙Arrive for your appointment no more than 5 mins before your allotted time to prevent queues and delays

💙 Check in with one of the reception team

💙 Make sure you are wearing loose clothing and take your coat off once inside the building, this will help speed up the process

💙 You will be asked to roll up your sleeve whilst in the queue ready for the clinician to vaccinate

💙 Appointments are spaced at 3 minutes so we will be unable to discuss anything else whilst your being vaccinated

💙 You will be guided to the room where you will be vaccinated

💙 Once finished you will be shown which way to exit the building

💙 If you have mobility issues or are unable to queue for long periods of time please let the receptionist know

📢 Patient Announcement – Trial of On-the-Day GP Appointment Booking

💙 To help us provide patients with the care they need and to reduce missed GP appointments (DNAs), we will be trialling a new ‘on-the-day booking’ system for the next 8 weeks.

📢 Please note: On-the-day GP appointments are not guaranteed. If we reach capacity, you will be signposted to an alternative service where appropriate.

What’s changing❓
• GP face-to-face appointments will now be booked on the same day only.
• Minor illness appointments with our Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Paramedic will continue to be bookable up to 48 hours in advance.

How will it work❓
When you complete a triage form, you’ll receive a text message with a self-booking link, allowing you to book your own appointment directly—rather than being allocated one.

Why the change❓
This trial aims to:
• Improve access to GP appointments.
• Reduce the number of missed appointments.
• Give patients more control over when they are seen.

🗓️ We will be reviewing how the system is working throughout the 8-week trial, and we welcome any feedback—positive or negative—to help us improve the process.

💙 Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we trial this new system.

🧡 This week is Cervical Screening Awareness Week (16-22 June).

🧡 Last week NHS England announced changes to the cervical screening programme, moving screening intervals for those who haven’t had high-risk HPV found recently from three to five years for all eligible ages.

🧡 This brings England in line with Scotland and Wales, who were already screening every five years.
