How will I receive my invitation?
📱 If we have a mobile telephone number recorded for you:
You will receive a text message with a self-booking link, allowing you to choose an available appointment.
✉️ If we do not have a mobile number for you:
We will send you an invitation by letter and follow up telephone calls.
Need help booking when you receive your invitation?
If you need support with booking your vaccination, please contact the practice and our reception team will be happy to help.
Please call after 10am – this helps us to ensure that patients who are acutely unwell and need to contact the practice urgently are still able to get through to us in the morning.
Please do not call to book your vaccination before Thursday 27th August. Invitations will be sent next week and our team will be ready to assist with bookings from Thursday 27th August.
