Blood Test Appointments

We are very pleased to let you know that we are now able to offer blood test appointments for the over 16s.

Please note, this new service is only for registered patients of The New Surgery.

Covid-19 Spring Booster

We are not offering the Covid-19 spring booster vaccine in the surgery. However, there are other ways to arrange a vaccine:

• You can call 119 free, and someone will help you book an appointment
• You can book online using this link: Book, cancel or change a COVID-19 vaccination appointment - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
• Local pop-up clinics and offers can be found here, more dates added regularly: Covid-19 spring boosters 2024 - Stay Well (staywell-bob.nhs.uk)

If you are aged 75+, or are at high risk due to being immunosuppressed, you don't have to wait for an NHS invite to book a Covid-19 spring booster vaccine: You can book using the above telephone number and link.

If you are housebound you will be contacted directly by the BHT Covid Vaccine Team. If you have any queries about this please do not phone the 119 service, just call the surgery.
