How do I BOOK A FLU VACCINATION? 

To book a flu vaccination, follow the "booking an appointment" instructions above and select "Flu Clinic" instead of a "Doctor" in the Appointment Book. 

Anyone over the age of 6 months can have a flu vaccination. It is best to get it done in April and May, before the flu season really sets in. 

This year's flu season is likely to be particularly tough as we haven’t been exposed to all flu strains for the last couple of years due to our isolation.  Get vaccinated now to reduce your risk of catching the flu and severity of the illness.


In-clinic vs virtual (video/phone) appointments

When you book an appointment you can choose to have it in-clinic, via video or via phone.  

If you need to be seen in clinic for a physical examination, then select in-clinic. If you prefer to stay in the safety and comfort of your own home and continue to get expert healthcare then select video or phone. Many health conditions can effectively be treated via video. 


How long is an appointment?

Appointments are for the standard 15 minutes. In fairness to other patients and to avoid doctors delays, please make a double appointment if you have multiple issues to discuss with your doctor.


In the event of an emergency

If you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe pain, allergic reaction, or bleeding, do not book online – contact our medical centre immediately or dial 111 for an ambulance.
