COVID-19 Updates
Update 10th June 2022
As of Monday, there will be a relaxation on the use of face coverings whilst attending our Surgery. This decision has been made in line with recent guidance for the use of face coverings within NHS settings.
However, if you are suffering with respiratory symptoms, we ask that you do still continue to wear one whilst visiting the Surgery.
Although patients won't be expected to wear a face covering when visiting our Surgery, as we do want to ensure we can continue to deliver a full service to our patients, without disruption, we will still be asking patients to protect our Clinicians during their assessment by wearing a face covering whilst in the clinical room.
Thank you for your understanding
Update 10th February 2022
We are now in the process of contacting eligible patients, aged between 5-11, for their covid vaccination. Text messages are being sent out to parents to book their child/children in for this, should they wish. Clinics are to be held here at Moor Park.
Update 5th October 2021
We have today begun contacting patients for both their COVID boosters and flu vaccinations. We will be running clinics whereby both vaccines can be given at the same time, in one single appointment. All eligible patients will receive invites in due course, either by text message - which will include a link for direct booking, or via telephone.
Our phone lines are still extremely busy, therefore we ask that for those that are able to, clicking on the link from the text message is the most efficient way of booking. This will allow for our phone lines to be less busy for others who wish to book for medical issues.
Thank you for your patience.
Update 15th July 2021
Update 17th March 2021
If you have received a text from us inviting you for your covid vaccine, but you do not wish to have it, please reply stating that you decline. This will allow us to update our records accordingly and stop us from contacting you again in the future.
Update 4th February 2021
The Army, RAF and Navy are supporting COVID19 vaccinations of the housebound in Fleetwood and Blackpool North (those registered with Practices at Moor Park).
Military medics in uniform will be visiting people in their homes to provide vaccinations.
We're delighted to be working in partnership with our military colleagues as we look to protect the most vulnerable people in our area as quickly as possible.
Clinics have also started downstairs at Moor Park Health Centre, run by a Pharmacy group. Patients are able to book into these clinics once they have received their letter from the NHS.
20th January 2021
Local vaccination services are being set up across the country and the Fylde Coast. These services vary in different areas, but include GP practices, local authority sourced buildings or other local facilities, as well as roving teams who have started delivering the vaccine in care homes.
We can conform that people living in North Blackpool and Bispham have already started to receive COVID-19 vaccinations with hundreds being vaccinated at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals. A clinic was also run at Wyre Civic Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde at the weekend and another is planned for this coming weekend.
The two GP Practices in Bispham have worked together with a community pharmacy to develop a vaccinations service in the town which will be launched next week.
We understand people are both keen and anxious to get vaccinated as soon as possible, but please let us reassure you that it wont be long at all before people in the top priority groups are contacted by the NHS to book their appointments to receive their vaccination in Bispham.
12th January 2021
We are receiving a large number of comments and questions regarding the COVID-19 vaccinations programme.
Clinics have now been launched at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals and a number of community sites run by GP practices. These clinics have been aimed primarily at those aged over 80.
Please be assured that if you are over 80 and have not been contacted yet, or have a friend or relative who is still waiting, they will be offered a vaccine soon.
Along with all our other local GP practices, we have drawn up lists of these patients, however the Pfizer vaccine comes in packs of 975, so it is not possible to vaccinate everyone at once and so some people have to wait slightly longer for the next batch to be delivered.
Vaccination clinics in the community are being run by a designated practice for each area. This means when you are invited for your vaccination it may not be your own GP practice that contacts you, but the local vaccinations service.
The new Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine is being directed initially to people who are housebound or living in care homes, but with more vaccines now becoming available we are confident more people will be vaccinated quickly.
We would like to thank you for your patience at this time and ask that you do not contact us to book a vaccine. We will be in touch as soon as we possibly can. Thank you 🙏
