Vaccine Passport

Under new travel guidelines you may need proof of your COVID-19 vaccination order to travel and return to the UK.
Unfortunately, we do not offer the service of printing out your COVID passport as we do not hold the authority to do so. The easiest way to gain this is to download the NHS app and register yourself. Through the app you can gain a QR code which proves your COVID status. You can also download or ask for a print-out of the ‘certificate’.
You can also apply for a posted letter detailing your vaccination status through this link here

Patient Access

We have recently extended our services for online patient access. Patients are now able to book on the day telephone appointments with doctors through the patient access or NHS app. These appointments become available at 8am daily. If you would like to access this service, please contact us with your name date of birth and email address. You can contact us by telephone or email.

Referral news

NHS England have recently created a new online platform where patients can view the average waiting times for clinics and referrals at their local hospitals. It is said to be updated weekly by each hospital and offer friendly advice on what to do while you wait. Please visit the link below to view your local hospital waiting times:

COVID19 Spring Dose

“ In February, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised a spring dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for:

• adults aged 75 years and over
• residents in care homes for older adults
• individuals aged 12 years and over who have a weakened immune system

The NHS will contact those who are eligible to make a spring booster appointment, so people should wait until they hear from the NHS. The NHS will prioritise those whose clinical need is greatest, as it has throughout, starting with those who have had a bigger gap since their last dose, then working through the cohort to invite others who have waited less time.  Everyone who is eligible will be offered a booster between three and six months over the Spring and early Summer.”
