There is also additional information on the dedicated Coronavirus page in the Further Information section at the bottom of this page.

If you are attending the surgery for an appointment please wear a face mask or a covering for your mouth and nose (such as a scarf). Unfortunately we are unable to supply patients with face masks. Thank you for your help and co-operation.

We want to reassure our patients that our surgeries are safe. It is extremely important that anyone with significant health concerns continues to contact us.

Telephone appointments are available to book online or by calling our appointments line. During the telephone call if the clinician feels it is clinically appropriate they will book you in for a face to face appointment.   

If you need to see a clinician the appointment will be in a COVID safe room and the clinician will advise you on the protocol when attending. The clinician will follow strict guidance on infection control to protect themself, you and other patients. This will include wearing personal protective equipment and restricting the number of people allowed on the premises at any one time. We ask that all patients coming into the practice wear a face mask in line with government advice:  https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus. As per government guidance, exemptions apply to very young children, disabled patients and those with breathing difficulties. 

Clinical staff may also use secure video calls and photographs when consulting with patients who are not present in the surgery.

Following your appointment further tests or referrals will be arranged if clinically appropriate and in the safest way possible.

You should contact us if you notice a change that isn’t normal for you or if you have a symptom that you are worried about. If you need to get in touch, we are ready to help you safely.

Please do not let concerns over COVID-19 stop you from contacting medical services.

 

 

Flu and Covid Clinics 2024

This year eligible adults will be offered a flu vaccine from early October, which will be slightly later than in previous years. This is due to the latest scientific evidence, which now shows that protection from the flu vaccine decreases over time in adults. Therefore it is better to have the vaccine closer to when flu typically circulates (which usually peaks in December or January), as this will provide optimal protection during the highest risk period

Langton Medical Group will be holding joint flu and covid vaccine clinics for these patients from the start of October and patients will be invited to book their vaccination(s) from the start of September via a self-book link within their text invitation. If you have a mobile number that has changed or has not been provided to the practice please let us know.

Some cohorts are still eligible from 1st September and they will be invited separately, these are:

  • Pregnant women
  • Some immunocompromised patients (for example, receiving chemotherapy)
  • Children aged 2 or 3 years on 31st August 2024

 Patients eligible for the FLU from October 2024:

  • Patients aged 65 years and over
  • Those aged 6 months to under 65 years in a clinical at risk group
  • Patients in long stay residential care homes
  • Carers
  • Close contacts of immunocompromised individuals
  • Frontline health and social care staff (patient contact)

Primary school children (Reception to Year 6) and Secondary school children (Years 7-11) will be offered their vaccination as part of the School Immunisation Programme.

Patients eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine from October 2024:

  • Adults aged 65 years and over
  • Residents in a care home for older adults
  • Persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group (as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the COVID-19 chapter of the Green Book) 

We would encourage all our eligible patients to take up their offer of a free flu/covid-19 vaccination from the surgery to protect you, your family and friends and the NHS this winter.
