Jenner House Surgery have now got over 65’s and under 65’s flu vaccination in stock.

We have very limited appointments left this week so therefore please call and book your’s today!

Our next batch of Over 65’s will be delivered in October.

You must be a patient registered at our surgery to be entitled and in the required category. If you are unsure of your eligibility, the surgery will be able to let you know.  

Please note that, if you are aged between 50 and 64 and not in a clinical at risk group, the earliest you will be offered a flu vaccination is November, providing there is sufficient vaccine. No appointments will be offered for people in this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first. If you are aged 50 to 64 and are in a clinical ‘at risk’ group which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu. you will be invited earlier.

As of today, due to the change in government guidelines, we are asking all of our patients, when attending the surgery to wear a face mask or some form of covering over their nose and mouth. This is to protect yourself and our staff.

We appreciate your co-operation and understanding in this matter.

As per government guidelines, we are now re-introducing cervical screening appointments.

Letters have been sent out to patients that are overdue and you will need to call us to book an appointment.

CORONAVIRUS

Domestic abuse – where to get help during the Covid-19 pandemic We know that COVID-19 (Coronavirus) will have a serious impact on the lives of women, children and men who are experiencing domestic abuse.

Fears over jobs, financial pressure, school closures, working from home and all the other current changes to our day to day lives are likely to result in an increase in domestic abuse incidents.If you’re already living with domestic abuse, then the restrictions put in place while the government tries to slow the spread of the virus have probably left you fearful of being isolated in the house with your abuser and as if there is nowhere to go for help.

You may not be able to see the friends and family who usually support you, and some of the places where you go for help or treatment may be closed or offering a reduced service. Please remember that you can still call 999 if you or someone else is in danger.

While some domestic abuse support services are not able to offer face to face meetings at this time, there is still help and advice available online and over the phone.

These local and national organisations are working hard to ensure they can still support you.

During these unprecidented times, we are still getting a large number of people attending the surgery; we are trying to reduce our footfall, keeping the patients and staff safe.

We have now locked the front door and we have introduced a new sytem where-by if you receive a telephone call from the doctor and are asked to come in for a consultation to check your sypmtoms, you will need to go to the side door (located on the left hand side as you are looking at the surgery) and ring the bell. A member of our Patient Services Team will then check you in.

We are asking all patients that have access to do so to use the online https://www.patientaccess.com/ to order repeat prescriptions. We do have facilities on the Jenner House Website to complete a form aswell which will then be sent directly to us to process. For the elderly, and our vulnerable patients, we will at the moment be taking repeat prescriptions requests over the phone, after 2pm.

Unless you really need to call the surgery, we are asking you take alternitive measure like contacting a local pharmacy or using the NHS 111 website for further guidance.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

Important information patients about GP appointments As you will be are aware, COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is a new illness that is spreading across the UK. As such, Jenner House Surgery are taking actions to protect our patients, our staff and our community by introducing a new telephone triage system for GP appointments.

Our aim is to significantly reduce the footfall through our surgery in order to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, in line with national guidance. All GP appointments will initially be on the telephone. If you have an appointment booked with a GP, please do not come to the surgery – please stay at home and the doctor will call you at the allocated time. The GP will do all they can to help you over the phone – however, should they feel the need to see you face to face for an examination, you will be invited to the surgery for review. Nursing appointments will continue as planned but we ask you to consider the national guidance before visiting the practice https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

· a high temperature · a new continuous cough ·Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you’re staying at home. Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if: · you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home · your condition gets worse ·your symptoms do not get better after 7 days Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

We thank you for your co-operation and understanding. As you are aware, the situation is evolving daily and we will keep you updated via our website and text messaging service.
