Protect yourself this winter! ❄️💉
We’re offering flu vaccines from October 2025 – and if you’re eligible, you can get your COVID vaccine at the same time right here at the surgery.

🚫 Not keen on having both together?
✅ You’ll need to book the COVID jab separately through the NHS COVID booking site. https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/book-covid-19-vaccination/

Book your flu jab today – we’re here to help!

Missed or uncancelled GP appointments place significant pressure on healthcare providers. Each no-show represents a wasted time slot that could have been offered to another patient, adding to already long waiting lists and increasing the workload on staff. This not only disrupts the daily schedule but also leads to inefficient use of limited resources. By simply cancelling in advance, patients can help free up appointments for others in need, reducing strain on the system and supporting smoother, more effective care for all.

We’ve received a great deal of positive feedback from patients, highlighting the care, professionalism, and compassion shown by our healthcare team. Many have praised the friendly and efficient service, the clear communication from staff, and the attentiveness shown during appointments. This feedback is incredibly valuable, as it reflects the dedication of our team and motivates us to continue providing high-quality care to our community.

We actively discuss negative feedback with our staff to help improve patient care and ensure we’re continually learning and evolving. We have now asked if you would leave your details so we can look into any negative feedback for training purposes.

!!REMINDER!!

Emergency alert testing 7th September 2025
The national system for sending emergency alerts to mobile phones in the UK will be tested again this September, the government has said.
It will see compatible phones vibrate and make a siren sound for 10 seconds while displaying a message at 15:00 BST on 7 September, even if they are set to silent.
The alerts are intended for situations in which there is an imminent danger to life, such as extreme weather events or during a terror attack.
The government stresses that emergency alerts should remain switched on, but has published a guide for domestic abuse victims on how to opt out.

From September, NHS plans to start sending results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, utilising the NHS App.

In September, those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will also appear as an NHS App notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal result letters will continue for the time being to be delivered by post.

This change follows the successful rollout of digital invitations and reminders in June 2025, where since the launch, 9 out of every 10 invitations are being sent digitally, with the remainder being sent by post.

We are reaching out to kindly ask for your support.
Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) at Harborough Field Surgery are looking to expand the small collection of books for our waiting area. These books provide comfort, entertainment, and a positive distraction for patients of all ages while they visit the surgery.
If you have any gently used books at home—fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, or health and wellbeing titles—we would be very grateful for your donation.

Donations can be dropped off at reception during our regular opening hours.

Thank you in advance for helping us create a more welcoming and supportive space for everyone who visits.
