RSV, Flu & COVID Campaign

The practice will be offering the RSV and Flu Vaccines to eligible patients. We will be inviting patients for these vaccines, alternatively, patients can contact the Practice if they have not received an invite in the next couple of weeks.

To book your COVID vaccination, please follow the link you have been sent via text message, or alternatively please call NHS 119 and ask to book your vaccination with Harborne Medical Practice. 

GP Appointment Availability

For patients requesting to see a GP, we encourage you to book appointments on line where possible.  If however you have to do this in person, we respectfully ask that you do not attend the practice before 1:45 to request an appointment.  It is not possible for patients to wait in reception while requesting an appointment as this is causing our reception area to be overcrowded.  Patients with pre-booked appointments are welcome to wait a short time in reception prior to their appointment.

We are facing huge levels of demand and are working hard to answer your calls quickly. Thank you for your patience.

Appointments are released at 8am and 2pm on week days – both online and through reception. These will be face to face appointments unless you request a telephone appointment. Please do not request a telephone appointment for a problem that will need an examination.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
