Travel Vaccinations

If you are planning a holiday please be aware that you may need travel vaccinations.  People are traveling to all sorts of exotic places now but this makes your vaccination needs more complex, sometimes requiring a 20 minute appointment or longer.  We ask that you fill in a travel questionnaire at least 8 weeks prior to departure as some vaccines are given in courses and may need 2 weeks to confer adequate protection.  Late travelers may not have time to complete full courses and some vaccines may have delayed side effects, therefore, it is essential you complete the form in good time.  Please contact reception for further information.

 

Patient Representation Group

We are currently in the process of setting up a Patient Representation Group to help us improve comminucation, organise health promotion events, run services to meet local needs, provide strategic advice to influence commissioning and support the practice.  If you would like to be involved please contact us either by phone, or via email at

hr-pct.littlecommonsurgery@nhs.net

Extended Opening

We are pleased to advise that we are now offering routine pre-booked Saturday morning appointments with a GP at the Old Town Surgery.

The Reception team will be happy to book an appointment for you Monday - Friday.  Please note there will be no telephone access nor walk in access on Saturday mornings.

Please be aware that Saturday morning medical emergencies will continue to be dealt with by the out of hours service who may be contacted by calling the surgery telephone number and following the advice on the recorded message.

 

Telephone Consultations

In addition to face-to-face consultations we offer telephone consultations for problems that do not require the doctor or nurse to see you in person.

On-line booking of appointments

You may now book a general surgery appointment with your own doctor on line.  To register for this service please contact a member of the reception team.

Requesting repeat prescriptions

You may now request a repeat prescription via email on:
