Covid Autumn boosters

Puzey Practice are now booking in the autumn boosters!

If you're eligible for a vaccine then appointments can either be booked by contacting us at Wakering on 01702 216545 and we can remote book into the clinics at Puzey or you can email Puzey - mseicb-cpr.puzeycovid@nhs.net

Patients are only eligible if they meet the following criteria:-

  • Residents in a care home for older adults
  • All adults aged 65 years and over
  • Persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group, as laid out in the Immunisation Green Book, COVID-19 Chapter (Green Book)
  • Frontline health and social care workers
  • Persons aged 12 to 64 years who are household contacts (as defined in the Green Book) of people with immunosuppression
  • Persons aged 16 to 64 years who are carers (as defined in the Green Book) and staff working in care homes for older adults.

If you're housebound and have been given the vaccination at home previously then you will still be on Puzey's home visit list and so they will be in touch with you to advise when they will be visiting you again for this booster. If you are newly housebound since the last booster then please inform us at the surgery and we will let Puzey know.

BLOOD TESTING

Out-of-hours GP services are changing

From Saturday 1st October 2022, out-of-hours appointments will be available from 7am–8am Monday – Friday at Puzey Practice in Rochford and 9am-5pm on Saturdays at both Puzey and Ashingdon Medical Centre.

An out-of-hours appointment will not be at Wakering Medical Centre. When you book an appointment, you will be told where the appointment will be.

These appointments will not be available as walk-in appointments. You will need to book them in advance. To book an out-of-hours appointment, you should contact our Reception Team at Wakering Medical Centre in the usual way. They will advise you on the appointments which are available, and which healthcare professional is the right person to help you and can remotely book you into the appropriate clinic if there are appointments available.

The new way of delivering out-of-hours appointments will give you access to more healthcare professionals. This new service will be delivered by professionals including GPs, Nurses, HCA's, Phlebotomists and Paramedics.

Out-of-hours appointments were previously planned by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) on behalf of many GP practices in a bigger area. From Saturday 1st  October 2022, this is now being planned and delivered locally by Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

We are working together with other GP practices in our local area as part of the Rochford Primary Care Network. You can find out more about Rochford Primary Care Network on our PCN website at The Rochford Primary Care Network (rochfordpcn.nhs.uk)

If you need medical help now but it's not an emergency, you can also go to 111 online or call 111.


Appointments

phoneemail

Please only telephone the surgery on 01702 216545 to make appointments or book online (details below) you will no longer be able to request appointments via email.

Going forward the surgery email address is to only be used for non-urgent reasons just as it used to be e.g. for information requests, sending in BP results requested by the GP etc. Using it for appointments was a temporary measure whilst we were experiencing issues with the previous telephone system. Our new telephone system is working and there is no reason for appointments to continue to be made by email. 

If you are signed up to use online services through SystmOnline/Airmid we have a number of online appointments available daily for you to book. Please note that these are for telephone consultations only.

You can book online here:- SystmOnline Login (tpp-uk.com)

If you are not signed up to online services and would like to be in order to book appointments, request repeat medication etc then please bring some ID into Reception and ask to sign up. They will be able to provide you with your login details. You can also sign up and access these services via the NHS app.
