Measles Outbreaks

There has been a significant rise in the number of measles cases in this and other areas of the UK. Some people have been very ill. The under 45s are the most affected group. Anyone who has not had 2 measles (MMR) vaccines is at risk. Please be reassured, the measles vaccine is safe. For more information please see our immunisation pages.

If you or your child have not had both vaccines please contact the surgery. It's never too late to be vaccinated!

Why use patient access?

View all the available appointments and pick the one that best suits your schedule. Book a slot even if we are closed. Order your medicines. Rearrange an appointment without having to  call. Do all of this from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits, from your PC, tablet or phone.
