'FLU, SHINGLES & PNEUMOCOCCAL CLINICS NOW BOOKING . . . PLEASE PHONE FOR AN APPOINTMENT
For 2018, there are 3 types of flu vaccine:
- a live quadrivalent vaccine (which protects against 4 strains of flu), given as a nasal spray. This is for children and young people aged 2 to 17 years eligible for the flu vaccine
- a quadrivalent injected vaccine. This is for adults aged 18 and over but below the age of 65 who are at increased risk from flu because of a long-term health condition and for children 6 months and above in an eligible group who cannot receive the live vaccine
- an adjuvanted trivalent injected vaccine. This is for people aged 65 and over as it has been shown to be more effective in this age group
- The Practice has ordered supplies of all the different types of vaccine for the different groups in our population, and will be using an algorithm to ensure that the different groups in the population receive the correct vaccination for their age and health conditions in exact accordance with the guidance which has been issued by NHS England.

EVENING AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS
AT GP ACCESS HUBS
Mid-Hampshire Healthcare, a GP Federation delivering multiple clinical services across the mid-Hampshire location, has implemented two new GP Access Hubs to give patients additional access to Primary Care Services on evenings and at weekends.
The GP Access Hubs will be located in Andover and Winchester and look to provide Pre-Bookable and Same Day appointments:
Opening Hours:
- 5pm to 8pm Monday to Friday
- 8am to 4pm Saturday (to 12pm Andover)
- 8am to 12pm Sunday
Locations:

You will be able to book these appointments either through our Reception Team, 111 or Out of Hours. It is GP-led supported by Nurse Practitioners and Healthcare Assistants. Routine appointments can be booked 2 weeks in advance. However, you can only be seen in a hub appointment if you agree to share your full electronic medical record with the Clinician. You will be asked for consent to share your record at the time of booking.
Any patient registered with Stockbridge Practice can book into the hub through our Reception Team.
