Dear Patients,

Please be aware there is currently a fairly convincing scam going around involving emails and or text messages that appear to be from the NHS asking patients to click on a link to book their COVID vaccination.

We will NEVER send you emails to book your COVID vaccination, all vaccinations will be booked via telephone or text message by our administration team. In some limited cases a paper letter may be sent if we cannot obtain telephone details.

If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us on 01793 – 535584

By now it is probable that you will have heard via the media that the vaccination of priority groups such as health care workers and persons over the age of 80 will commence from 14^th December 2020 with GPs being responsible for the service provision. Please could we respectfully ask that you do not contact your GP Surgery at this time as further information is due to be released shortly. As soon as vaccine delivery has been confirmed and details finalized for timings and location we will be proactively contacting all our affected patients. Victoria Cross and Eldene Surgeries would like to thank you for your continued support during this time.

Dear Patients,

Please be aware that all patients aged 11 years or older must wear a mask or facial covering to mitigate infection risk as far as possible when attending face to face appointments at Victoria Cross Surgery and Eldene Health Centre.

Please note that in line with the most recent guidance it is no longer mandatory for patients aged 10 years or younger to wear masks or facial coverings.
