We have been looking at how we can improve access to Practice services; DoctorLink is our new online service where you can:

Access advice on your symptoms- Sign-up is simple and you can create an account here: https://app.doctorlink.com/ashvillemedicalpractice/register  

The symptom assessment will ask you a number of questions to help to identify your problem.

The outcome of your assessment will direct you to the right treatment, whether emergency care, your GP, nurse or self-care.

The information you provide will be shared with our clinical team (where appropriate) and will assist in providing robust information of your problem to the required clinical team member to assess the next steps if applicable.

FLU VACCINATIONS               

      This year with COVID-19 circulating, flu vaccinations are more important than ever, and are being provided to those most at risk of serious illness if they contract flu or COVID-19. Patients aged 50-64 years old without any other existing illnesses have also been included in the cohort this year, as 50 is the age at which the risk of hospitalisations for COVID-19 sharply increase, which justifies increasing protection against flu. 

If you are eligible for a flu vaccination please contact the surgery on 01226 729860 between 10am and 12pm and 3pm and 5pm to make an appointment. Having the flu vaccination is more important than ever this year.

 Please be ready for your vaccination with your coat/jacket removed and your arm ready for vaccinating to keep the clinics moving smoothly- thank you for your cooperation in advance
