Welcome to Walkley House Medical Centre

With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

COVID VACCINATIONS

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT BOOKING A COVID VACCINATION.

All practices across the city are working extremely hard to vaccinate people, starting with those who need it most.  This is based on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisations (JVCI) advice on priority groups for the Covid-19 vaccine. We are currently following Government guidance and working our way through the groups. 

Please do not contact the surgery we will contact you when it is your turn to be vaccinated. 

Based on current forecasts it should be possible to offer a vaccine to all those people that the JVCI have said would benefit most by late Spring. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

HOW TO ACCESS YOUR COVID-19 VACCINATION STATUS

From 17th May you can access your Covid-19 vaccination status through the NHS App.  

If you do not have a smartphone you can call the NHS helpline on 119 and as for a letter of proof to be posted to you.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT YOUR COVID-19 VACCINATION STATUS. GPs CANNOT PROVIDE LETTERS SHOWING YOUR COVID-19 VACCINATION STATUS.

FACE MASK EXEMPTION

We are receiving lots of calls asking for face mask exemption cards.  As wearing masks is now a legal requirement Doctors are unable to provide letters to say otherwise.  You can download a certificate explaining why you find it difficult to wear a face covering which can be shown if required.
