Interpreter Services

Is English not your first language?

Are you deaf or hard of hearing?

If you require an interpreter to attend with you when you see your Doctor or Nurse, please notify the patient service team when you book your appointment and they will arrange this for you.

This service is free of charge.

Covid Booster Programme Update

In line with the Government’s announcement, the NHS is aiming to offer every adult the chance to book a COVID-19 booster vaccine by the end of the year. This means our practice is now prioritising the booster rollout.

As part of this, some of our routine services may be stood down temporarily to allow us to focus on protecting as many patients as possible.

We are still there for anyone who may need care for an urgent need, but would ask for patience as we support this key national priority over the coming weeks. We hope to be able to stand back up any services as soon as possible and will update this page as soon as we know more.

Please don’t forget there are many services available for you, depending on your condition. These include:

  • Self-care – This is the best choice to treat minor illnesses and injuries such as hangovers, coughs, colds, grazes, small cuts or sore throats. Many of these can be treated at home, simply with over-the-counter medicines and plenty of rest.
  • Pharmacy – Pharmacists can give advice on and treat a range of symptoms. They can support you with things such as diarrhoea, earaches, painful coughs, sticky eyes, teething and rashes.
  • NHS 111 – You can access 111 online or via the telephone. This is for any urgent but non-life threatening health concerns. They will be able to signpost you to the relevant service and provide advice where appropriate, or book you in to an Urgent Treatment Centre.
  • A&E / 999 – You should only attend A&E or dial 999 in a life-threatening emergency such as severe bleeding, breathing difficulties and severe chest pain.

If you are now eligible for your COVID-19 booster please book it as soon as you can. It is vital as many people as possible get boosted as soon as possible.

Please do not ring the practice regarding your boosters, instead visit www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/coronavirus-updates/Pages/coronavirus-vaccination-in-northamptonshire for further details. We will be running regular clinics at the Moulton Community Centre throughout December 2021 and will contact patients directly so that you can book in.

We Are Seeing Patients Face to Face

We would like to reassure all of our patients that all of our clinicians are consulting with our patients via telephone, video or by a face to face appointment, as the clinical need dictates. If the clinician feels they need to see you in person they generally arrange this on the same day.

Our remote consultations are not replacing the face to face appointment. However, many of our patients now prefer this method, for ease of accessing the service and receiving the appropriate medical advice and treatment.

We would like to assure all of our patients that face to face appointments are, and have been there for those that require them based on clinical need.

Thank you

Dr Darin Seiger
