Christmas and New Year

Glastonbury Health Centre is closed on Bank Holidays so (for example) please allow an extra day (or two) when ordering prescriptions. The next Bank Holidays are Christmas Day (Tues 25th), Boxing Day (Wed 26th) and New Years Day (Tues 1st Jan). If you need medical attention on these days please contact the NHS 111 service (by ringing 111 on your phone).

There will be a pharmacy open on each of these days. Please see the list of pharmacy opening times to see which pharmacies are open and when.

Seasonal Influenza

We have started our seasonal influenza vaccination campaign, and are already booking our patients into our flu clinics, being held on Saturday 6th October and Saturday 20th October. If you are eligible for an influenza vaccination (flu jab) please call in and book your place now.

This year, there are different vaccines for the different age groups so please let the reception know your age when you book in for your jab.

Note: children in reception class and school years 1 to 5 will be vaccinated at school this year.

Carers

There is a new service offering advice and support to carers in Somerset. For more information visit the Somerset Carers Service website, or give them a call on 0800 3168 600. If you would like to be referred to the service, have a chat with our new Carer's Champion, Jo.

Green Impact for Health

Glastonbury Health Centre is pleased to announce its involvement with the Green Impact For Health Scheme. This is a national project designed to help GP practices and the NHS become more environmentally friendly and sustainable whilst also benefitting patients.

We are currently promoting inhaler recycling – look out for posters around the practice and ask your pharmacist about recycling your old inhalers. Currently Boots in Glastonbury High Street and Tesco Pharmacy on Wirral Park Road are taking part in the scheme.

Watch this space for more green ideas!

Prescription Line

Please note that Glastonbury Health Centre no longer accepts prescription requests by phone. You are still able to request repeated medication by hand, by post or (if you are signed up) via the online request service. Some pharmacies can also request medication on behalf of their customers - please discuss this with your pharmacist.

Named GPs

Since 1st April 2015, all patients registered at the health centre have had a named accountable GP.  Please ask at reception if you wish to know who your named GP is.  Read more...

Patient Participation Group

Did you know we have a Patient Participation Group?

The aim of the group, which should be representative of our patient ages and genders, would be to meet with the GP Partner Dr JX Meguer to discuss our services, suggest new services and review our surveys. We would rely on the PPG to help us focus on service direction and improvement. The group meet three times a year at the health centre. If interested, or would like more information, please click here to contact us.
