Have a lovely Christmas 🎄

11/12/2025

This December, NHS Greater Manchester, in partnership with Intrahealth, is making it easier for families to get protected against flu.💙

Walk-in flu vaccination clinics will be running across Greater Manchester for school-age children (reception to year 11) who have missed their school vaccine, and for children aged 2–3, giving parents the opportunity to get all the kids vaccinated in one visit.

There’s no need to book, just find your nearest pop-clinic, opening dates and times on the NHS Greater Manchester website.

🎄Christmas is coming!
Don’t forget to order your repeat prescription. 💊
⏳It usually takes 5–7 working days for your medicines to be ready to collect – but remember to order early and allow more time ahead of bank holidays.
Some local pharmacies will have different opening hours on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day.
📱Ordering online using the NHS App is the safest and easiest way to order your regular medicines.

If you are unable to attend your appointment, please make sure to contact the surgery to cancel it. This allows us to offer the slot to another patient in need.

You can easily cancel your appointment via the NHS App or call the surgery on 0161 785 7910.

We understand it can sometimes be challenging to get a routine appointment with a GP or Nurse within your preferred time frame. Demand can be unpredictable, and missed appointments make it even harder for us to manage.

Thank you for helping us to keep the system running smoothly by cancelling any appointments you can’t attend.
