Covid Booster vaccination

We are pleased to announce Mid Dorset Primary Care Network has reopened the Atrium Health Centre as a COVID Vaccination site. Appointments are now available on the National Booking System which can be accessed via: https://bit.ly/3q3JxNs or by calling 119.

Please DO NOT phone us to book, as we cannot access the booking system. If you cannot get an appointment, please keep checking the National Booking System as we will be running further clinics in the coming weeks.

Boosters will only be administered to eligible people, meaning you must have had your second dose at least 3 months ago. Only Pfizer/BioNTech vaccinations will be administered.

There is NOT an option to walk-in without a booking, so please do not attempt to do this as you will be turned away.

COVID-19 is still with us, and the safety of NHS patients, visitors and staff is our top priority.

In line with Government guidance, everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering, unless they are exempt, and follow social distancing rules.

Our teams will continue to take other infection prevention and control measures to minimise the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and other infections in health and care settings.

It is important for the public to continue to play their part when visiting NHS and care settings to help protect our staff and patients, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to infections.

In addition to the village of Puddletown, the Practice welcomes patients from the surrounding area including: Tolpuddle, Tincleton, Affpuddle, Briantspuddle, West Stafford, Bockhampton, Stinsford, Piddlehinton, Piddletrenthide, Alton Pancras, Plush, Dewlish, Cheselbourne, Melcombe Bingham, Ansty and Milborne St Andrew.

Accidents and Injuries

If you are unlucky enough to have an accident of any sort it's always a good idea to phone us here at Surgery. The Doctors and Nurses are happy to assess injuries and give advice. We can treat most minor trauma injuries saving you a trip to Accident & Emergency and perhaps a long wait.

We are also happy to assess and see if you need an x-ray if you think you may have broken something.
During our opening hours, there is always a Doctor available. Speak to our Receptionists, and they will be pleased to help.

During Surgery opening hours: Ring the Surgery on 01305 848333
