Winter Update
As with the rest of the NHS our practice is facing immense pressure at present. We are experiencing huge demand on our services and we are also faced with some members of our own staff who are unable to work at times due to their own ill health, or significantly change the way they work (for example working from home) due to covid-19 related issues. Please know that we are doing all we can to maintain our service. We hope that you understand that we have to prioritise urgent medical cases during these challenging times. Thank you for your
Covid-19 Boosters
The Covid-19 Booster Vaccine programme will begin locally on 25/9/21. We will be starting the programme by offering the vaccine to patients aged 80 and over and front line NHS and care staff.
We will be contacting these patients directly to arrange their appointments. Please do NOT call the surgery about this, we will contact you.
The clinics are held at Manor Park Medical Centre, 204 Harborough Ave, S2 1QU every Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings. This is to ensure that the normal GP surgery clinics are not affected as there is a huge demand for GP and nurse appointments across the country currently.
We will move down the list of all eligible patients to hopefully ensure that everyone is offered a booster vaccine as soon as possible.
Thank you for your ongoing support and patience during this exceptionally busy time.
