Coronavirus Information

Coronavirus Vaccination Update for our patients

 

Devon CCG also have a support team for vaccine queries and can be called on 01752 398836 or emailed.

d-ccg.devonvaccinationsupport@nhs.net

More information about the risk groups and who qualifies for eachgroup can be found here 

The vaccination site will continue in Barnstaple, but the running of the site will be taken on by Northern Devon Healthcare Trust and bookings can be made through the National Booking Service – not the GP practice. More information can be found here

Those who are eligible for vaccination can use the National Booking Service via the website or call 119. Appointment slots will be added regularly, so please keep checking back.

 

You do not need to contact NHS 111 to tell them you are staying at home. Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:

  • You feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
  • your condition gets worse
  • your symptoms do not get better after 7 days

You can now use the NHS coronavirus status checker >> Click here

Please do not come into the Surgery unless you have a pre-arranged appointment or need to make a collection.
