Important: Measles Alert

Following a recent outbreak of measles in London, we strongly advise all parents and carers to ensure that children are fully immunised with the MMR vaccine.

Measles is a highly infectious illness and can be serious, particularly for babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Complications can include ear infections, pneumonia, seizures and, in rare cases, brain inflammation (encephalitis).

Please check your child’s Red Book to confirm they have received both doses of the MMR vaccine. If you are unsure about your child’s vaccination status, please contact the practice and we will be happy to check your records.

If you believe you or your child may have symptoms of measles please do NOT attend the practice in person.
Instead, please telephone the surgery or submit an online consultation so we can advise you safely.

We understand that sometimes you may not be able to attend your booked appointment. If you cannot attend, help us by letting us know as far in advance that you cannot make your appointment. This means we can offer the appointment to another patient who needs it.

  • If you do not attend an appointment, our team will be in touch with you to ask why.
  • If you regularly miss your appointments, we may have to consider removing you from our practice.

Thank you for help in making sure we have enough appointments for all our patients.
