Practice Update 08/11/2021

Children’s Flu & Covid Booster Clinic

On Saturday 13th November we will be running a designated clinic for our over 70’s patients to receive their Covid Booster. It is the Pfizer vaccine. We are currently making appointments for this clinic, if you fall into this category and haven’t heard from us, please make contact on 018203303. The clinic will run from 9am, it will be a very busy day and we ask for your co-operation once again.

This clinic will also run from 9am to 11am for our children’s flu vaccine. All appointments have now been made and the clinic is full. For those who have an appointment this morning is expected to be very busy, and we are asking all parents for their co-operation to ensure the smooth running of this clinic.

If you would like your child vaccinated and have yet to return a consent form, please do so. We are unsure if the HSE will continue to deliver more vaccines, if they do we will do our utmost to facilitate your child within our normal surgery hours with our practice nurse, Denise. This is HSE delivery dependent and dependent on appointment availability with our nurse.

Our phone lines

Once again our phone lines are unsustainably busy. Each phone call usually generates at least one or two enquiries which all take time to work through. We are doing our best to assist each and every one of you and are currently looking into ways of improving this service for both our patients and our practice staff. Our phone lines will be operational from 9am to 11.30am and from 2pm to 4pm.

If your call is to order a prescription the quickest and most effective way to do this is to download our prescription order from from our website, fill it out and either drop it into the surgery or email to prescriptions@theparksmedicalcentre.ie 

For obtain your blood results, please call our nurses phone in service on 086 2047305.  This service is operational from Tuesday to Friday from 12-1pm. Again this is a very busy service so please bear with us, our nurse is getting to as many patients as possible.

To make or change an appointment please call during the surgery phone times and we will do our level best to get you to as quickly as we can.

As always, thank you for your co-operation and consideration during this very busy time
