Dear patients,

We are holding a clinic for the Autumn Covid and Flu vaccination at Forestside Dibden Purlieu on Saturday 17th October, along with smaller week day catch-up clinics available. We have now started inviting patients eligible for Covid and/or Flu via text message or telephone call. If you do not have a mobile phone or have declined to received text messages you are welcome to call us to book your appointment, but please phone after 10am.

Parking - We would like to prioritise the practice carpark for patients that are less able-bodied, so if you are able to walk please park in the Oak Road carpark. St Andrews Church have kindly agreed that our patients can also utilise their carpark if spaces are available, but again, please prioritise these spaces for those that can only walk a shorter distance.

We will be offering vaccinations to patients in the below cohorts for the Covid Booster and Flu Vaccination:

● adults aged 75 years and over
● residents in a care home for older adults
● individuals aged 18 years and over who are immunosuppressed

And we will be offering vaccinations to patients in the below cohorts for the flu vaccine ONLY:

● Adults aged 65 to 74 years
● Individuals aged 18 years to under 65 years in clinical risk groups

We’re sorry to share that there has been a further break-in at our Marchwood surgery site.
This is now the third such incident, and on this occasion a significant amount of damage has been caused to the building. The site is not in clinical use and remains securely boarded; however, these repeated acts of vandalism are extremely frustrating and unacceptable.
We want to reassure patients that no services are provided from this site and there has been no impact on patient care.
We are working closely with the police and will be taking further steps to strengthen security at the premises. Regular checks of the building are ongoing.
We would urge anyone who has seen suspicious activity in the area, particularly around the surgery, to report it to the police quoting incident number 44260183426.
Those responsible should be in no doubt that this matter is being treated seriously, and we will fully support efforts to identify and pursue those involved.
We also ask local residents to remain vigilant and report any concerns promptly—your support is important in helping prevent further incidents.
Thank you for your continued support.
The Partners, Forestside Medical Practice
