Frome Medical Practice is experiencing high levels of calls about the COVID-19 vaccination programme.

Practice Manager, Karen Creffield, said, ""We know that people will be eager to find out when their vaccination appointment will be, but we ask that patients do not call us regarding the vaccine, as our team will continue to contact eligible groups to make their appointments for them direct."

If you are a patient at Frome Medical Practice you will be contacted directly when vaccinations are available for your priority group. If you are a health care professional the practice asks that you please contact your employer who will provide further advice on where to receive your vaccination.

In addition to calls about the vaccine, the practice is also receiving queries about patients who are shielding. If you have received a shielding letter from the NHS please click here for further information click HERE : the FMP site

Please note, the practice is unable to provide shielding letters for those that haven't received them.

The practice has also published a general COVID-19 update, which includes useful links for anyone who is finding things challenging, or is experiencing stress, anxiety or low moods. This includes specific information and support for young people too. Find out more here: the FMP site

"We are enormously grateful to everyone for their continued support at this time", added Karen.
