Welcome to Felixstowe Road Medical Practice

Welcome to our practice website.  We aim to provide all of our patients with a comprehensive range of healthcare services covering one-off problems to longer term illnesses.  Feel free to explore the site and find out how you and your family can benefit from our personal and professional approach to healthcare provision.

Face Coverings

Please note that it is our policy to require patients to wear face coverings whilst in our building.

Covid-19 Vaccine

Limited supplies of the Covid-19 vaccine have started to arrive in Suffolk.

At present, those surgeries that have received vaccines are only able to immunise patients aged 80 or over.

There is not yet enough vaccine for everyone in this age bracket to receive it, so "at risk" patients are being prioritised.

Please DO NOT call the surgery to ask when you will be able to receive you vaccination.

Rest assured that we will contact you when we are able to vaccinate you.

Please see the attached document from Suffolk GP FED regarding the Covid-19 vaccination programme 

Suffolk GP FED Covid-19 Vaccination Programme

Your GP surgery is unable to offer you a certification of Covid vaccination, a vaccination passport or a letter to prove you have been vaccinated against Covid-19.

You can, however, find details of all your vaccinations on the NHS App: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/nhs-app/

Proof of vaccination documents have not yet been developed, and, as such, cannot be provided by your GP.

As soon as we have further information we will share it with you.  

Corona Virus

The NHS in Suffolk and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.

For general information on Corona Virus please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

If you are concerned that you may have Corona Virus or may have come in contact with someone who has, please go to https://111.nhs.uk/service/covid-19 or call 111 if you cannot access online.  

Do NOT go to a GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital. Stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people.

Named Accountable GP

You can be any age,  gender, and from any ethnic background. Our only requirement is that you are one of our patients. If you can spare a few hours, 2-3 times a year and would be interested in joining our PPG, please contact the Practice Manager.
