IF YOU ARE A HEALTHCARE WORKER, PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE TO BOOK YOUR COVID VACCINATION: https://stockportft.nhsbookings.com/v2/

For COVID Vacc FAQ's, please visit: https://www.stockportccg.nhs.uk/covid-19-vaccination-information-page/

The guidance has recently been changed so that 40 year old patients may no longer be given the Astra Zeneca vaccine.  Our PCN is no longer holding anymore Pfizer, 1st dose clinics and if you find yourself effected, please ring the CCG or email them at the phone number and email address listed below.

 COVID19 VACCINATION CLINICS ARE BEING HELD AT THE VILLAGE HALL IN HEALD GREEN.

For all information/queries on the COVID 19 Vaccination, please ring 0161 426 9910 or email the helpline at stoccg.pxenquiries@nhs.net. 

Please wait and we will be in contact to schedule your vaccine as soon as your cohort becomes eligible per guidance from NHSE.

IF YOU ARE IN GROUP 10-12 (adults under 50 years not previously invited for their COVID Vaccine) PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE PRACTICE, WE CANNOT BOOK YOUR VACCINATION.

Vaccination for Groups 10-12 is being managed through the national booking service, not your GP practice.

If you are aged 45-49, you can now book in for your first COVID Vaccine by following this link or calling 119

https://www.nhs.uk/.../coro.../book-coronavirus-vaccination/

If you are under 45 years, you will be invited in due course.

If you have already had your first COVID Vaccine at Heald Green Village Hall, you will still be invited by your GP practice for your second dose around 10-11 weeks after your first dose.

Your GP practice is focusing on Groups 1-9 and the mass vaccination sites will now focus on Groups 10-12.

•     Now that more doses of Covid-19 vaccines are available, the NHS is able to open more vaccination services, including the first large regional vaccination centres.
•     People who are eligible and who live near these new vaccination services will receive letters from the NHS Covid-19 Vaccination Booking Service, telling them how they can book their appointment.
•     The NHS is rolling out additional services quickly, but it remains important that the public don’t try to book or go to these services before they receive their booking letter.
•     When you do book an appointment, please make sure you attend.
•     You may receive a letter from the national NHS Covid-19 Vaccination Booking Service inviting you to book an appointment at one of the regional vaccination centre and currently the closest of which is at Etihad Tennis Club in Manchester (North West).
•     If you receive the letter from the national service and can travel to the regional vaccination centre safely, we recommend that you book using the details the letter provides.
•     If you receive the letter from the national service and can travel to the regional vaccination centre safely, we recommend that you book using the details the letter provides.
•     If you are unable or don’t want to go to a vaccination centre, you can choose to wait and get your vaccination at Cheadle PCN's Vaccination site, Heald Green Village Hall  which is the local vaccination hub for patients in this area.
•     We have started vaccinating patients over the age of 80 years of age and are inviting people in according to the criteria and prioritisation set by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), and will contact you when it’s your turn.
•     Like the rest of the NHS we are working to offer vaccines to everyone in the top priority groups by the middle of February.
•      Please do not contact us if you haven’t received an invite yet. We are very busy at the moment and doing so could prevent a patient who needs our help from getting through to the surgery. We will contact you when it is the right time for you to book your appointment.

• What to do if you have worrying symptoms during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Many people are understandably concerned about visiting their GP during the current Covid pandemic. Although, it is good that most people are following the Government guidelines around staying at home and social distancing, it is important that this does not stop people getting medical advice when necessary.

There is increasing concern that some people may be ignoring potentially worrying symptoms that could be a sign of cancer or other significant health problems for fear of going to their GP practice. These might include:

• Unexplained Pain
• Unexplained bleeding eg – blood in poo, coughing up blood, blood in pee
• Unexplained weight loss
• Unexplained lump(s)

Diagnosing cancer early means that it is easier to treat and treatment is more likely to be successful.

All GP practices are still open, although many appointments are being carried out by telephone or video, without people having to go into the practice. Patients are reminded if they have any of the above symptoms, or any other symptoms that they are worried about, it is important to contact you GP practice and arrange a telephone or video consultation, in the first instance. This will allow your GP to assess your symptoms and discuss with you whether you need further investigations.

If you do need to have investigations or treatment urgently, all hospitals have developed new ways of working, aimed at minimizing any risk of contact with Covid-19.

IF YOU, OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU HAS SYMPTOMS THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT, CONTACT YOUR GP PRACTICE FOR ADVICE.

Please take steps now to get connected to us through Patient Access.  Due to the current situation we are triaging as many patients via telephone, video consult and online consultations.  All of these services require Patient Access.  You no longer have to come into the practice to get a letter to complete your registration.  You can do it entirely online without a letter from the practice.  Please visit https://www.patientaccess.com/ and connect yourself to our practice today.  There are many other helpful things available to you through Patient Access as well such as ordering some prescriptions.  Connect today!
