Flu vaccination 2008
Flu jabs were given on Saturday 11th October. We had a successful day this year with very short waits and over 700 injections given. Vaccination is for all over 65 and those with conditions such as lung or heart problems, diabetes, kidney problems or those at increased risk of complications of flu. Those not vaccinated on Saturday will be offered
nurse appointments.
Please contact the surgery.

Extended hours and Lemington
The surgery will be offering longer opening hours from November with some earlier mornings, some later evenings and some Saturdays. We hope that this will make it easier for those who cannot make the surgery in normal hours.
We plan to do two surgeries a week at Lemington clinic from December. Further details to be publised once confirmed. |
Chlamydia screening at the surgery
The surgery is taking part in the national chlamydia screening programme. Chlamydia infection may affect up to 10% of younger people and can be a cause of infertility and other problems. We are aiming to offer testing routinely to patients aged 16-24 and anyone else who would like testing. Please pick up a leaflet from reception and ask the doctor or nurse if you would like to be tested. Further information on the chlamydia screening website |
