Throughout the flu season you will be able to receive the vaccinations at your usual nurses or Dr appointment. Please ask as you book in.

If you come to the surgery and let reception know you're here for the flu jab and able to wait, one of our clinicians will be able to see you between patients without a prebooked appointment. Please note this is unbooked and for vaccinations ONLY and so you will be seen between as clinicians are available.
