The MMR catch -up Programme

Following a decade of relatively low vaccination uptake there is now a large number of children who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated with MMR. Therefore the government has introduced a catch up programme more details are available at www.immunisation.nhs.uk

EXTENDED OPENING HOURS

We are now offering appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday until 8pm, and also 9am - 12 noon on Saturday mornings.

During these hours patients can pre-book for routine appointments with both the doctors and nurses.

CHANGES TO APPOINTMENTS

After receiving comments on the recent Patient Survey, we are slightly modifying our appointments system in order to allow our patients to plan ahead. This change will begin on Monday 30 April 2007.

When you now ring at 8.00am, the appointments for that afternoon AND the next morning will be available. As always, you will still be able to book appointments further in advance, subject to availability.

We are always looking at ways to try to improve our service for our patients, and hope you find the amended appointments system more flexible and easier to use.

If you would like more information regarding these changes, our receptionists will be happy to clarify the situation for you.
