🚨🚨🚨🚨Covid Vaccine Update🚨🚨🚨

We are holding a Covid vaccine clinic for second doses in Templemore Sports Complex on Thursday 15th April.

This is only for patients who received their first Covid vaccine with us on Thur 4th February. The time that you should attend will be on the blue vaccination card you received at this clinic.

Please remember to bring your blue vaccination card with you so we can update it.

We will be working our way through our lists for 2nd doses. Please do not call the Practice to check, come at the date on your card and if we need to reschedule due to vaccine deliveries we will be in touch.

Please be mindful we will only be dealing with emergencies at the surgery on Thursday 15th April so we can facilitate this large clinic, all routine appointments, queries and requests must wait until later in the week.

Many thanks for your understanding, we are looking forward to seeing everyone at the clinic tomorrow.

Latest update

We wish to give you advanced notice that the current NHS plan is for patients to receive their second vaccination at the same site as their first vaccination. This will mean that those patients who were vaccinated at Templemore Sports Complex will still need to attend there for their second dose. Any patients who received their vaccine here at the surgery will get their second dose here. We expect to start providing second vaccinations towards the end of March. Please refer to the date and time on your card that you were provided with when you got your first vaccination.

We have tried contacting all patients in Cohorts 1 – 5. If you are in one of these cohorts and still wanting the vaccination please contact the surgery or alternatively you can contact the Foyle Arena to book your vaccine.

Currently as per HSCNI Guidance we are contacting patients in group 6. All invites will be sent via text message or telephone call. Please do not attend any of our clinics if you have not received an invite. Any patients attending without an invite will be turned away as otherwise there would be insufficient vaccines for those that have been booked.

Please advise us if we should use a different telephone number to contact you.

Reduced Service Capacity

Please be advised that due to GP Sickness, GP’s covering in Covid Clinic and the Practice Covid Vaccination clinic we are currently running at a lower capacity than usual. This means that we have fewer appointments available and some of our administrative tasks such as prescription processing may take a little longer than normal. We thank you for your patience at this time.

Please treat our staff with respect

Recently we have been having increasing occasions where patients are being rude and abusive to our staff, including our Receptionists, Nurses and Health Care Assistants. Our surgery is working under unprecedented strain at the moment due to excessive demand and a reduction in capacity because of Covid precautions. All our team try their best to help but sometimes solutions are not immediately available.

Please treat our staff with the respect they deserve as they have worked very hard throughout this whole Covid crisis and are continuing to do so under very different conditions.

Thank you
