We are pleased to advise that we are now starting to contact those patients who are in Group 6 – Adults age 16-65 in an at risk group.

We have started sending invitations via text message to our eligible patients – your text message will come from Flixton Road Medical Centre.

Please note that we do not send email invitations for your Covid vaccination.

The practice will be closed on Wednesday 24th February 2021 to enable us to redirect our team to deliver COVID vaccinations. If you require medical help please contact NHS 111 or our out of hours provider Mastercall on 0161 476 2299.

Sometimes it can be tricky to know if your symptoms are just a typical winter cough or the start of the symptoms of COVID-19. If you have any of the symptoms of coronavirus, you and your family should isolate, and the person with symptoms should apply for a test. If you don’t have symptoms, you should not apply for a test. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-09-17/coronavirus-how-to-spot-the-difference-between-a-cold-and-covid-19-symptoms

Loss of taste and smell, having a fever and a cough are all symptoms of coronavirus. If you have any of these symptoms, you should follow the guidance set out here: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

• Please remember to bring a face covering or mask for your appointment; it can be very simple, like a scarf or bandana.  It needs to fit well and cover your mouth and nose.
• You can make your own face covering by following this guidance ⇒

If you do not have a mask or face covering, you will be supplied one by the surgery.

Please also attend alone where possible in order to maintain social distancing rules and do not arrive more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
