COVID Vaccination update

COVID-19 vaccine clinics continue to operate in Westminster. 
 
The vaccine is being offered to patients in the order defined by the UK government. We are now offering the option for patients to book their vaccine appointment online using accuRx.com
 
 When it’s time for you to have your vaccine, we’ll send you an SMS (this clearly states that it has come from our practice) with a link for you to book your appointment via accuRx. 
 
If you receive this SMS and have any questions about whether you should have the vaccine, e.g., you are unwell, please ring the surgery so that we can discuss this with you. 
 
If you don’t have a mobile telephone, we will contact you directly.   Please do not contact us to ask to be vaccinated – you will be contacted when your appointment is due.

Accessing healthcare

The NHS is very busy responding to the coronavirus pandemic and, at certain times, your GP practice may need to prioritise patients with the most urgent health needs. 

If you have a health issue that isn’t urgent, advice is available on the NHS website www.nhs.uk or NHS app or you can speak to your local pharmacist. You can also use e-consult which is available through our practice website [add link]. If you aren’t sure what to do, please contact the practice who can advise you on how to get the help you need.

Please continue to attend tests, vaccinations and screening when invited.  

www.111.nhs.uk is also available 24/7 for urgent health advice or by calling 111, and 999 is for emergencies.
