Dorchester Flu Clinic – Thursday 1 October

Our large, all-day flu clinic will take place at our Dorchester surgery on Thursday 1 October.

The clinic is fully booked, and we are expecting a very busy day. We would be grateful if everyone attending could help us by following the guidance below. There is no availability for drop ins.

🚶 Please avoid travelling by car if you can

Our colleagues at Poundbury Doctors Surgery next door will be working a normal working day, so their patients and staff will also need access to the car park.

As a result, parking at the surgery will be extremely limited.

If you are able to walk, use the bus, cycle, get dropped off or make another arrangement, please do so.

If you do need to travel by car, please be prepared that you may need to park away from the surgery and walk the remaining distance. Please allow extra time for this when planning your journey.

⏰ Please arrive on time

Please aim to arrive at your booked appointment time rather than significantly earlier.

As this is a large clinic with a high number of appointments throughout the day, arriving early may not mean you are seen sooner and can create additional congestion in and around the surgery.

⏳ Please expect some queuing

With so many appointments taking place, there may be some queuing on the day. Our team will work hard to keep the clinic moving as efficiently as possible, but we ask for your patience and understanding if there is a short wait.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us make what will be a very busy clinic run as smoothly as possible.
