Are you aged 75 or over and currently taking antidepressants? The ANTLER 75+ Trial is exploring whether continuing or safely stopping antidepressant medication helps prevent relapse of depression in later life.

By taking part, you could help researchers answer an important question that may improve clinical care for older people. Participants are supported throughout the study, with regular check-ins from the research team.

💬 Interested or think you may be eligible?
Speak to your GP or contact the research team to find out more.

MMRV vaccination: a guide for parents and carers - Update-

For parents and carers of infants aged 12 months to 3 years 4 months

From 1 January 2026, children will be offered the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine, which will now be part of the combined MMRV vaccine as part of the routine childhood schedule of immunisations.

MMRV vaccine protects children against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox).

Children born after 1 January 2026 will be automatically offered two doses of the MMRV vaccine at 12 months and 18 months.

A catch-up programme will offer one or two doses to older children, depending on their date of birth:

- children born on or after 1 January 2025 will be offered two MMRV doses, one at 12 months and one at 18 months

- children born between 1 July 2024 and 31 December 2024 will be offered two MMRV doses, one at 18 months and another at the age of 3 years and 4 months

- children born between 1 September 2022 and 30 June 2024 will be offered one MMRV dose at 3 years and 4 months

- children born between 1 January 2020 and 31 August 2022 will be offered a single dose MMRV between 1 November 2026 and 31 March 2028, if they don’t have a history of the chickenpox disease.

Children aged six or older on the last day of 2025 will not be eligible for the MMRV because they are likely to already have had a chickenpox infection.

Patients who require the MMR vaccine as they have not previously been vaccinated, but are too old for the varicella vaccine element as stated above, may receive the MMRV vaccine.

We will contact families to arrange an appointment when the vaccinations are due – Please don’t contact the Practice.

INTERPRETERS LIVE! FOR DEAF PATIENTS

From 1 November a new service will be available for our deaf patients.

Whilst we have always been able to offer a BSL interpreter for appointments, this has now been extended to enable deaf patients to use a BSL interpreter to contact the Practice from home.

Simply the patient selects the Practice from the "Directory". The interpreter then contacts the Practice and speaks to us on their behalf.
