COVID-19 Control Measures
We are aware of the planned move to lifting the remaining COVID-19 restrictions in England from the 19th July.
Medical settings are a higher risk environment and will need to be subject to more control measures than other public facilities.
We are acting very cautiously and are maintaining:
- Social distancing
- Face coverings
- PPE for healthcare staff
- Patients to wait outside or in their car for all face to face appointments
The delta variant is more transmissible and patients may come to the Surgery when they are contagious.
It is our duty to do all we can to keep both our patients and our staff safe whilst we deliver our care.
Thank you for your continued support.
COVID-19 Vaccination - aged 18 and above
We would like to inform you that patients aged 18 and above are now able to book their COVID-19 vaccination via the National Booking Service (NBS) or by calling 119 (line open from 07:00-23:00 Mon-Sun).
Please remember to book both 1st and 2nd doses at the time of booking; your appointments are not confirmed unless you are issued a 7 digit confirmation number.
Please note appointments at Spencer's are limited and will be on a first come, first served basis. In the event that you are unable to book your appointments at Spencer's, we will be adding more clinics on NBS over the coming weeks.
Please do not contact the Surgery, but keep checking the NBS link or ring 119. Thank you for your patience.
