Welcome to Burbage Surgery Online. This surgery website is used to present all our patients with up to date news and information about our practice.

We will keep it current with any developments or other details that we feel are relevant.


Here at the Surgery our doors are very much open, so please get in contact if we can help or support you in any way with your ongoing physical or mental health; whether in person or over the phone. 

Please continue to embrace technology: use our online services and the NHS App to book your appointments, order medication, and contact us with queries.  We are grateful for your support with this which enables us to keep working as efficiently as we can and provide the best possible service for you all. We have plenty of appointments available, so please do respond to any recall stickers on your repeat medication and book your blood tests, diabetic and asthma reviews etc. If you are booking a blood test you can do this online. You can also now use Systmconnect online to ask for a FIT/sick note. 


Vaccine Update

Flu & Covid

We are running covid clinics at the Surgery on Monday and Friday evenings. If you haven’t booked in already please do this online or call the Surgery.

We will also be offering flu jabs, these can be done at the same time or you can book another appointment if you prefer to have them separately. 

  Adults aged 65 years and over and those aged 18 to 64 years in a clinical risk group

 Carers of vulnerable patients are not eligible for Covid this time around, but are encouraged to have the flu jab.

RSV Vaccination

If you are eligible for the RSV vaccine you will have had a text or a call inviting you to book in. This is for those aged 75 to 79 years old on 1 September 2024, and those turning 75 after this date.

Pregnant ladies over 28 weeks are also eligible and we are keen for them to have the vaccine in order to protect their babies

please call us to book in, and we will be offering the vaccine ad hoc to eligible patients while they are here for other appointments.

Childhood Immunisations

Please respond when your child is invited for vital immunisation against diseases such as DTP Hib and polio, MMR, meningitis and HPV. These vaccinations are vital for prevention of the spread of these diseases.

Please call for more information or to speak to Ali or Elly our Practice Nurses if you have any questions.

More information can be found at  NHS vaccinations and when to have them - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Prescriptions

PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 4 FULL WORKING DAYS BETWEEN ORDERING AND COLLECTING YOUR REPEAT MEDICATION.

WE RECOMMEND YOU KEEP 2 WEEKS OF MEDICATION IN STOCK AT HOME SO YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO RUN OUT

When ordering repeat prescriptions online, please be aware that we cannot respond to any queries made in the comments box.  Should there be a problem with your medicine request, a staff member will contact you directly. Any medicine reviews that require an appointment with the GP, nurse, or Clinical Pharmacist will be instigated by the surgery.  Please ignore any "review" requests that appear when ordering your medicines online - thank you. For further information click here:   Learn More...
