Staff Training - Early Closing

The Practice will close at 1230 on 25 September 2025 for staff training.

When the surgery is closed call NHS 111 for free where you will be referred to the right healthcare professional, as close to your home as possible.

Please remember to ‘Talk before you Walk’ – dial NHS 111 first, as you must have an appointment to be seen in one of the primary care service/ hubs.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

Winter Covid Vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you're at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.  The COVID-19 vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.

You can get the winter COVID-19 vaccine if you:

• • are aged 75 or over (including those who will be 75 by 31 January 2026)
  • are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
  • live in a care home for older adults

If you are eligible, St Andrew's will send you a booking link via text message.   

Vaccinations wll be given at Oxford Road on Saturdays in October and where appropriate, will include the flu vaccination.
