COVID-19 VACCINATIONS:

Over the last five years, we have successfully delivered both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations to our patients. However, due to reduced uptake, increasing demands on general practice, and changes to the national vaccination programme, the Central Vaccine Department will now only allow COVID-19 vaccination sign-up at a Primary Care Network (PCN) level.

As with last year, all eligible patients will receive an invitation by post from the NHS. This invitation will explain how to book your COVID-19 vaccination through the National Booking System.

You can also access the NHS COVID-19 vaccination booking information here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/book-covid-19-vaccination/

Housebound COVID-19 vaccinations:
These will be provided by Core Pharmacy. The date is to be confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Horse riders, cyclists and walkers gathered to promote road safety and held a two-minute silence for two victims who died in a crash last week...

11/09/2026

On Sept 6th 2026 two cyclists in our community died in a crash in Sole Street Meopham.

The loss of Steve and Tash has left an unimaginable void in the lives of the families, friends and everyone who knew them.

Please help support their families friends and join the Cyclopark and ‘Pass wide and Slow group’ for an event tomorrow, details on link attached

Sat 12th Sept 10:30 starting at Copt Hall Road Cobham (see link for three words):

https://www.facebook.com/share/1F9j5sqY6a/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The families have asked that, rather than simply remembering the terrible circumstances in which they were taken from them, we come together as a community to create something positive and lasting in their memory.

They are therefore asking friends, fellow cyclists, members of the community and everyone who knew Steve and Tash to come together and help create a lasting legacy in their honour.

Please donate if you can:

Please show your support and keep all the families and friends affected in your thoughts and prayers during this awful and heartbreaking time. 💚🙏

FREE NHS SERVICE - Ear Syringing 👂

Please contact reception 01474 537123 if you think you need your ears syringing.

They will offer you a 20 minute ear review and syringe appointment with one of our Nursing team, who will decide if it is appropriate on the day.

You will need to apply olive oil drops twice daily for 7 days prior to your appointment as this softens the wax ready for removal. These can be bought from any pharmacy.

You might benefit from ear wax removal if you experience:

> Reduced hearing clarity
> A feeling of fullness in the ear
> Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
> Mild earache or dizziness

Thank you
