Practice Update – Telephone Wait Times

Due to an unusual amount of staff sickness, we are currently very short staffed. Unfortunately, this means it may be taking us longer than usual to answer the phones.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and understand how frustrating this can be. Please be assured this situation is completely beyond our control, and our team is working extremely hard to prioritise patient safety and urgent care.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time, and we appreciate you bearing with us while we support patients as quickly and safely as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
