Trent Valley Surgery

ORDERING MEDICATION DURING THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD

As with last year, we will be allowing patients to order early in December to see you over the Christmas and New Year period. When putting in your December request, please make a note on your repeat slip that you are ordering early for Christmas. If you request your medication online, the system may not allow you to select your medication. If so, use the free text box at the bottom of the page to tell us what you require and that you are ordering early for Christmas. Please note, we will NOT be issuing 2 months of medication.

Collections
Please remember there is 5 working day turn-around for collections.
The final date you must have your requests in by to collect your medication before Christmas Eve is Friday 17th December. Any requests submitted after this date cannot be guaranteed to be ready before Christmas.

Deliveries
There will be no deliveries the week commencing 27th December.
The final date you must have your requests in by to have your medication delivered before Christmas is Wednesday 15th December at 1pm. This will ensure you will receive your delivery on your respective delivery day: Wednesday 22nd, Thursday 23rd or Friday 24th December.
The following delivery deadline will be Wednesday 29th December at 1pm to be delivered week commencing 3rd January.

Please do not ring the surgery to book an appointment for the Covid 19 Booster vaccination.  PLEASE WAIT TO BE CONTACTED. 

You may receive a letter or a text to invite you to book an appointment when you are eligible for your booster. If you are unable to follow the link in the text message please call 119 to book an appointment. Covid-19 booster vaccinations are not being carried out at the surgery and we cannot book or amend any appointments. Vaccinations will be done at a local vaccination centre such as John Coupland Hospital or The Lincolnshire Showground.

Covid boosters for housebound patients - unfortunately we are still awaiting guidance from the CCG as to how these will take place and when so we cannot advise any further on this currently.

Flu vaccination clinics however, are being organised by the surgery (subject to delivery problems), and again you will be contacted - please see information below regarding the Flu Clinics and delivery issues.

 Some of the current management group have served for some time and are stepping down. We are keen to find new people who might be interested in what is not an arduous but a really worthwhile way of being involved with improving local health services. Are you that person and registered with the Trent Valley Surgery? If so, please do get in touch via email at ppgtrentvalley@gmail.com or by phoning the surgery and leaving your contact details for us to contact you. Our meetings currently are held remotely on Zoom, with face to face meetings planned. The next one is on Tuesday 9 November at 4pm.
