We know it is still summer, but flu season will soon be upon us. We will be offering the flu vaccine at the surgery on the 4th and 11th October, more information will be provided closer to the time. We would be grateful if you could support the practice this flu season and choose to have your vaccine with us

Unfortunately we still seem to be having the same problems as yesterday, please bare with us and it may be you receive a text rather than a call with an appointment time

❗️❗️Please be aware that we are currently having problems contacting some mobiles and landlines. We have been advised that there has been a major incident that is being investigated.

If we are making you an urgent appointment for today and we cannot contact you we will send you a text with the appointment details and kindly ask that you reply to make sure this is suitable ❗️❗️

This should be a really interesting talk. Spotting cancer early is important in improving outcomes.

Cool spaces are indoor spaces to allow people to shelter from the sun, cool down and take a rest on hot days.

Our patients are welcome to take a break in our reception area this afternoon where it is nice and cool up until 5.45pm

❗️There has been significant media coverage about mounjaro now being prescribed by GPs for weight loss.

The local system for doing this is yet to be finalised

Once this is in place we will be contacting patients who are eligible for mounjaro following the guidance we are given.

❗️From tomorrow we will be starting our new total triage system. If you have a query about your health condition or need an appointment please contact us using the online form on our website or through the NHS app.

Please note we will not be taking routine prescription requests through this service, please submit those in the usual way.

This is a big change for both our patients and our staff. Therefore we kindly ask that you have patience with us during this transition.

Many thanks, the Shawbirch team
