It's that time again! 🍂💉

Eligible patients will be contacted by text message with a self-booking link to book their Flu vaccination.

For those eligible for both vaccinations, we will also be running designated Flu and COVID vaccination clinics, allowing you to receive both vaccines during the same appointment and saving you from making more than one trip to the practice.

If you are unable to book using the self-booking link, please don't worry, just contact our friendly Reception Team on 0191 406 7260, who will be happy to help.

📢 PLEASE HELP US MAKE EVERY APPOINTMENT COUNT

In August, 67, appointments were missed because patients did not attend and did not let us know.

We understand that plans can change and that unexpected things happen. If you're unable to attend any appointment at the practice, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the appointment to another patient.

📞 Can't make your appointment? Please cancel it or contact the practice as soon as possible.

By letting us know, you're helping us make the best use of our appointments and giving another patient the opportunity to be seen.

💙 Thank you for your support and for helping us make every appointment count.
