Current Surgery ways of working
Due to the recent surge in Covid-19 and the pressures on the NHS, we have been asked to stop any NON-ESSENTIAL work immediately. We will keep this under review.
We are asking that you ONLY call us or do an online consultation if you have an URGENT request. If it is a ROUTINE request, we will ask you to contact us when the pressures have reduced. We are still taking all prescription requests as normal. Please do continue to contact us for acute illnesses or urgent matters.
Our staff team are currently working at the Vaccination centre 8 am - 8pm. As a result of this and other Covid related work
Please note a change in opening times the surgery will close at 6.30pm with immediate effect
COVID-19 vaccination programme
1st Vaccines:
As a Practice we are now well under way towards getting our over 65 population vaccinated along with patients who are Clinically extremely vulnerable.
If you receive an invite but there are no clinics available - please try again later in the week.
2nd Vaccines:
We will be starting our 2nd vaccine clinics on 19th March and everyone who received a vaccine either at Heatherside or Lakeside WILL receive an invite from us to attend for a 2nd vaccine in March / April
PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SURGERY TO ASK WHEN YOUR VACCINE WILL BE - WE WILL CONTACT YOU
The Covid helpline is being manned by Surrey Heath Borough Council and they are there to answer any questions you may have and to help you book your appointment IF YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED by your practice.
They can be contacted on 01276 707100 between the hours of 8.30am to 5pm Mon-Thurs and 8.30am-4.30pm Fridays.
The vaccination programme is moving at pace and we are 'throwing' everything we have at it. We have many staff and doctors who are giving all their time to the effort and we appreciate your help
We are operating the Vaccination Centre from Lakeside Country Club, Wharf Road, Frimley Green, GU16 6PT
We are confident that (vaccine permitting) we will soon be on top of this awful Virus and better times are ahead!
THANK YOU for helping us to help you – Your support has been amazing and it keeps our staff going.
There is a link to literature to read if you are offered an appointment or indeed if you would like to read it ahead of being offered your appointment at the bottom of this section.
