North Curry Health Centre

North Curry Health Centre is a friendly, rural, dispensing practice serving just over 4,100 patients. We serve a wide area of approximately 85 Km^2, from Curland to Burrowbridge and Fivehead to Henlade.

Our Practice has excellent facilities in pleasant surroundings and we aim to offer the population we serve a comprehensive medical service with an emphasis on continuity of care.  We hold specialist clinics for patients with long term conditions such as diabetes, asthma and coronary heart disease. We also undertake minor surgery, coil fittings and contraceptive implants. We are approved by Health Education England as a training practice to provide specialist training to doctors.

We are booking Flu & Covid Vaccination clinics at the Surgery in October and November.  You will be contacted if you are eligible. 

You are eligibile for a Flu vaccine if you:

• • are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2027)
  • are aged 18 to 64 and have certain long-term health conditions
  • are pregnant
  • live in a care home
  • are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer's allowance
  • live with someone who has a weakened immune system
  • are experiencing homelessness or staying in a homeless hostel or night shelter

You are eligibile for a Covid vaccine if you:

  • aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed (as defined in the ‘immunosuppression’ sections of tables 3 or 4 in the green book)

In line with JCVI advice Frontline health, social care workers, staff working in carehomes for older patients and carers will NOT be eligible for Covid vaccination under the National programme for Autumn 2026.

COVID-19: the green book chapter - GOV.UK

“The Autumn/Winter COVID campaign will run from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. If you are recorded as a housebound patient aged 75 or over, or are recorded as immunosuppressed by the practice, you will be contacted, and we will book your housebound appointment. This may not be at the start of the campaign, but we will contact you before 31 January 2027 to arrange your vaccination. Please don’t worry if you receive a reminder from NHS England before we have contacted you – this is a national message and does not mean you have been missed. Your vaccination needs are held locally within the Somerset system, and you will be contacted before 31 January 2027 to arrange your vaccination. If you would like us to confirm that you are coded as housebound on our system, our staff can check this for you. Thank you for your patience.”

WE NEED THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS OF OUR REGISTERED PATIENTS

Would you like to have a say about the services provided by North Curry Health Centre and the local NHS Service?

We are seeking to increase the members of the Patient Reference Group within the registered patient list which we can contact on an ongoing basis. This would enable the Health Centre to survey the views and opinions of its patients and have a collated collective opinion available when representing its Patient List.

By providing your e-mail details we can add them to a contact list that will mean we can contact you via email every now and again to seek your views and opinions.
