Noticeboard

The NHS have arranged several 'Protected Learning' days throughout the year. These days provide time for staff to complete mandatory training which is essential to maintain a safe and effective environment for patients. During these times the surgery will be closed.

Usually this learning time will take place over an afternoon, so in the mornings we will be open as usual. 

The next scheduled learning time is on Tuesday 27th of February from 1330 until 1830. We will be open again as usual on the 28th.

Due to necessary changes in response to NHS initiatives surrounding online access, patients who use online access or patient services online may experience disruptions to their access. Please contact the surgery if your level of access changes.

We are unable to offer Covid vaccinations from the surgery as we are not part of a primary care network. 

(To aid vaccine delivery in the pandemic vaccines were initially distributed to large centres only, and contracts were with Primary Care Network (PCN). We were hoping that this would change, and that we could have vaccines at the surgery this year but this has not happened. The Integrated Care Board is aware that this is a problem and have raised it as an issue with NHS England). 

Please contact the National booking line on 119 or via the NHS website. We hear that Middleton Cheney and Moreton In Marsh Pharmacies seem to be the closest places to get the vaccine.
