While our vaccine clinics are running over the next few weeks, we kindly ask patients not to use the surgery car park unless absolutely necessary, as spaces are very limited.

The dates of the clinics are as follows:

15th April
16th April
20th April
22nd April
29th April
6th May

If you are able to, please walk to the practice or park elsewhere nearby. This helps ensure that parking remains available for those who may need it most.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping the clinic run as smoothly as possible.

We are currently receiving a high volume of enquiries regarding the reported meningococcal (MenB) outbreak in Kent. Unless you have been specifically told to contact us regarding this by 111, please do not. Public health authorities are managing this situation. Please note that MenB vaccine is not routinely provided on the NHS for adults outside of specific eligibility groups and we are therefore unable to offer MenB vaccination at the practice for this situation. If you develop symptoms suggestive of meningitis such as a fever, headache, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light vomiting or a rash please seek urgent medical advice.

Please can the owner of this car remove it from the Surgery car park. We currently have reduced parking at the surgery due to building works and the remaining space is for the use of patients attending the surgery . It is not a public car park .

15/03/2026

From tomorrow - Monday 16th March - patients will be able to access the surgery by the main surgery door, the back entrance will no longer be accessible for patients . We have set up a temporary reception desk and temporary waiting area in what will eventually be the main waiting area when the works are completed. We are still on track to fully complete the works by mid May. A huge thank you to all our patients who have supported us, and continue to do so during the period of the building refurbishment and apologies for any inconvenience it may be causing. Whilst the refurbishment has been challenging for us all we are all very excited to see how the building is transforming. Any problems or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at Emma.knowles11@nhs.net.
