We are planning to provide COVID booster vaccines in Hartland in the coming weeks. The dates are just being finalised, and then the slots to book will be made available through the national booking system. We are planning to provide on a couple of Saturdays.

If you are keen to have your vaccine at the surgery, we should have more information within the next week.

When the dates and slots are released, you will not be able to book this slot through the surgery, we have to use the national booking system (online or telephone, call 119)

Incoming calls NEW NUMBER for today

* update at 12 noon, our normal number is now working again *

Hi, please use [number removed now normal lines working] if you want to ring the surgery.

Our phone system provider has run into trouble during a “routine maintainance” update this morning. This has stopped incoming calls to the surgery since around 09.15am, with just an engaged tone.

They have advised the problems will definately be fixed within 48 hours, possible much sooner.

In the meantime, we have a backup incoming line, which should work as normal.

We can still make outgoing calls as before and can help you in person at our reception. Sorry for this distruption.

We should be using our normal number from Monday 01237 441200

Back online after network and smoke problems.

Thanks for your patience this morning.

First our computer connection failed for 90 minutes until a very helpful support engineer drove out from Barnstaple to get our network back up and running.

Then we have had a fire at the Kings Arms pub, getting significant smoke into the practice building, and filling the roads with fire crew, many thanks for their swift response. Nobody has been harmed we understand.

We are now at around 12 noon resuming normal work, but we will need a bit of time catching up after this mornings difficulties.

 

Half day teaching

The surgery is closed on Wed 7 June 2023 from 1pm for teaching. It will re-open as usual on Thu 8 June.

If you have an urgent medical problem which cannot wait until the surgery is open, you can contact 111 for advice.
