We are currently seeing a significant rise of measles cases across the country. Measles is an infection that spreads very easily and can cause serious problems in some people.
The best way to prevent this is with the MMR vaccine, a completly free and safe vaccine that has saved thousands of lives since being introduced in the 1980s.
It is important that patients have two MMR vaccinations. If you were born after 01/01/1970 and have not had two vaccinations an appointment can be made with our practice nurse.
If your child are over five years and have not had two MMR vaccinations an appointment can be made with our practice nurse.
If you are unsure, our reception staff should be able to check your MMR immunisation details in your medical records. Patient access users can also view their immunisation records online.
During the spring and winter months, we offer flu and Covid-19 vaccinations to vulnerable groups of people.
We are currently not providing either these vaccinations. Find out more about Covid-19 vaccines and flu jabs on the NHS website.
Pneumococcal disease, including septicaemia, pneumonia and meningitis particularly affects the very young, the elderly, those with an absent or non-functioning spleen and with impaired immunity.
Pneumococcal immunisation is recommended for patients with any of the following:
Most adults only require one Pneumococcal immunisation in their lifetime.
You can have the Pneumococcal vaccination at any time of year, though many find it convenient to have it at the same time as their flu vaccination.
Shingles vaccinations are available throughout the year to all eligible patients. These are:
Shingles can be very painful and uncomfortable. Some people are left with pain lasting for years after the initial rash has healed. Shingles is fatal for around 1 in 1,000 over-70s who develop it.
The vaccine reduces your likelihood of contracting the disease, and reduces your chances of getting serious problems if you do get shingles.
Our Nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.
What does this mean for you?
If you collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, your GP will send it electronically to the place you choose, saving you time.
You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
You may not have to wait as long at the pharmacy as there will be time for your repeat prescriptions to be ready before you arrive.
Is this service right for you?
Yes, if you have a stable condition and you:
It may not be if you:
How can you use EPS?
You need to choose a place for your GP practice to electronically send your prescription to. This is called nomination. You can choose:
Ask any pharmacy or dispensing appliance contractor that offers EPS or your GP practice to add your nomination for you. You don’t need a computer to do this.
Can I change my nomination or cancel it and get a paper prescription?
Yes you can. If you don’t want your prescription to be sent electronically tell your GP. If you want to change or cancel your nomination speak to any pharmacist or dispensing appliance contractor that offers EPS, or your GP practice. Tell them before your next prescription is due or your prescription may be sent to the wrong place.
Is EPS reliable, secure and confidential?
Yes. Your electronic prescription will be seen by the same people in GP practices, pharmacies and NHS prescription payment and fraud agencies that see your paper prescription now. Sometimes dispensers may see that you have nominated another dispenser. For example, if you forget who you have nominated and ask them to check or, if you have nominated more than one dispenser. Dispensers will also see all the items on your reorder slip if you are on repeat prescriptions.

Some services we provide are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges.
Some examples include:
The fees we charge for these services are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales. Our reception team will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
Please note that GPs at our practice cannot sign passport forms or firearms licenses.
