FLU VACCINATIONS AUTUMN 2024 - On the 5th October 2024, Highfield Surgery will be running a FLU ONLY vaccination clinic.  Appointments are available for eligible patients to book up until 10.30am.  After which it will be a walk in service until 2pm.  To book an appointment, please call reception on 01494 813396 after 10.30am.  If you require a flu vaccination and qualify for a COVID Autumn booster vaccination at the same time, these vaccinations will be provided by our PCN from sites in Beaconsfield and Marlow.  Full details will be sent by text in due course to eligible patients.  The PCN will also be offering COVID only vaccinations.  These WILL NOT be available through the surgery. 

19th July 2024 - Highfield is one of six practices that make up Arc Bucks Primary Care Network ('PCN') - www.arcbuckspcn.org 

2nd May 2024 - Unfortunately, we are seeing an increasing number of appointments being booked and then not attended without cancellation.

This puts increased pressure on the system and means that other patients who need an appointment are having to wait longer.

Please consider others – if you no longer require an appointment that you have booked, let us know so that it can be offered to someone else.

9th February 2024 If you have been contacted by the NHS saying you/your child may not be up to date with their MMR vaccinations but you think they are, please be assured, we are aware that data held nationally may differ from what is held locally and NHS England continues to work with NHS services delivering vaccinations to ensure that patient records are as up to date as possible. If you are satisfied that you/your child is up to date for MMR vaccination and other childhood vaccination and the general practice are satisfied that the practice record is complete, then no further action is necessary. 

20th December 2022 - The phone lines are open for urgent appointments at 8:30 and again at 14:30. The lines are closed between 13:00 and 14:30.

At 8:30 and 14:30 the lines become very busy. If your enquiry is of a less urgent nature you may wish to try after 11:00 or 16:30.

Alternatively the online service KLINIK can be accessed at the top of this page. KLINIK is a straightforward system to use and incoming queries are viewed on a regular basis. Using this system will save the frustration of hanging on the telephone. It can be used for seeking advice on new or existing conditions. It can also be used for ordering and querying repeat prescriptions. KLINIK can be accessed using a Smart Phone.

Other avenues available for patient use are either the 111 service or the NHS self care web page - www.nhs.uk/conditions/ - Additionally your local pharmacist is available for advice and guidance on more minor ailments. Of course major medical care should be accessed by phoning 999. Additionally, patients can download the NHS APP allowing repeat prescription requests, appointment bookings, test results and medical record information.  For information visit: NHS App and your NHS account - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
