Greystoke Surgery

Due to changes in NHS policy, Greystoke Surgery and the Practice Nurses can no longer administer private vaccinations for travel. The surgery can still offer travel health advice and NHS travel vaccinations.

If travelling, you can book a 20 minute telephone advice slot with one of our practice nurses preferably in good time before travel, and the nurse can discuss the travel advice and book you in for any NHS vaccines necessary.

You also have the option of going to one of the private travel clinics e.g. Health Hut Pharmacy in Morpeth, Boots in Eldon Square (Masta travel clinic downstairs), or Superdrug in Newcastle. For information you can go to Nathnac.org.uk (travel health pro) or www.masta-travel-health.com

Winter 2019 to 2020 Influenza Vaccination Campaign

It is that time of year again when the nights draw in, the mornings get colder and we start our annual Influenza Vaccination Clinics. Once again this year the type of vaccine will be different depending on if you are over or under 65 years of age, therefore we will once again be inviting you to clinics depending on the vaccine that will best protect you from “Flu” this winter. We have made a slight change to our clinics. For those aged of 65 years we will as usual be inviting you to a Saturday morning clinic but for those under 65 years of age we will be running an evening clinic which we hope will prove more convenient. Don’t worry if you can’t make these clinics the nurses will be working hard to offer appointments in the following weeks.

Letters of invite will be sent out to those eligible for a NHS flu vaccination from us in the next 3 weeks.
