If you or a family member are housebound please ring the Surgery to be added to our housebound flu vaccination list.

All patients aged 65 and over are eligible for a flu vaccination. Patients under 65 are eligible if in an at risk category.

If you are aged 75-79 you can have the RSV vaccination. If you turned 80 after 2nd September 2024 you are also eligible.

RSV is a common virus affecting the airways and lungs. For most adults and children it causes a mild illness such as a cough or cold and usually gets better on its own. As you get older your risk of serious illness from RSV increases and can lead to pneumonia or even death, especially in those with heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system.

Don’t miss out, please ring the Surgery to make an appointment with one of our Practice Nurses.

Who is it for?

The First Contact physiotherapy service is for people aged 16 and over with musculoskeletal conditions.  Musculoskeletal conditions affect bones, muscles and joints.

If you are registered with a GP surgery you can access a Physiotherapist in your surgery.

If you book an appointment with a First Contact Physiotherapist in your surgery, you do not need to see a GP first. 

Physiotherapists are experts in Musculoskeletal conditions. They can:

• assess your problem, 
• diagnose the issue
• decide with you about a suitable management plan to help return to things that are important to you.

What do I need to know?

Many musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions do not need treatment and can improve with what is called ‘self-management’ which describes the things that you can do to help yourself.  If you want to know more about this you can follow this link. This approach will be discussed with you in your appointment if appropriate and the Physiotherapist can advise you on this.

What happens next?

To book an appointment with a Physiotherapist in your GP surgery for an assessment, ring your surgery and ask for an appointment with the Physiotherapist. 

If there are no available appointments, you can still refer yourself to Physiotherapy via the link below. Your referral will be reviewed and added to the waiting list. If needed, a physiotherapist may contact you by phone to clarify the information you have provided.
