Seasonal Flu Vaccines 2020/2021
Dear patients, if you are interested to have the flu vaccine, please speak to reception staff, we are happy to accommodate when convenient for you.
COVID VACCINATION
The Covid vaccine has arrived in Harrow! We have been allocated a limited number of appointments slots; please do not contact the practice regarding vaccination. If you are eligible based on Government criteria – we will contact you. This is to ensure that our phone lines and reception staff remain free, so that we can continue to deliver high level of care. Thank you!
Arrangements are being made to vaccinate our patients in care homes and our housebound patients. We respectfully ask the patient do not call Shaftesbury Medical Centre about their vaccination date, as you will be contacted by us in due course.
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
NHS England have issued guidance to GP practices about the use of online appointments in relation to the current coronavirus outbreak.
Online access for GP appointments is removed due to Coronavirus. So Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
In order to protect patients, all unnecessary visits to the surgery are to be avoided. You can no longer book a face to face routine appointment without speaking to a clinician. Telephone consultations will be available via our reception. Please kindly allow up to 48 hours to receive a call back due to volume of calls.
Telephone triage will be available for urgent medical problems that cannot wait until the next telephone consultation.
