Local COVID Vaccination Programme

Burford Surgery is proud to have played our small part in that. We are excited to now be moving onto the next stage of the vaccination programme.

Burford Surgery is focussed on inviting in our 'at risk' patients in Cohort 6 to visit our GP led vaccination site at Carterton Health Centre.

If you are in the priority groups 10 - 12 (people aged 49 down to 18) you will need to book your appointment via the national NHS booking service when your age group becomes eligible. This will allow you to find a suitable date and time at another site including the Kassam Stadium vaccination centre (or other large centre in a neighbouring county) and a participating community pharmacy. Currently, people aged 40 – 49 can book their first dose on the system, together with people in groups 1 - 9.

We continue to offer our routine care during this time but this may be limited on days that we are running vaccine clinics and we request that you continue to bear with us. We will update our telephone message daily to inform you whether a clinic is running that day. All appointments will initially be offered as a telephone appointment and your GP will invite you down to the surgery for a face-to-face appointment if felt clinically necessary. This reduces risk to both patients and staff.

We thank you for all your messages of support and for your patience at this time.

Message from Dr Willby

I have taken the very difficult decision to retire from General Practice at the end of this year. This is for personal reasons. My elderly parents are needing much more of my time than I can give currently and I have two grandchildren to help look after as well. It has been an honour and a privilege to be a GP at Burford Surgery for the last 27 years. I have been lucky enough to work with the best team of staff and have met the most rewarding patients. I would like to thank you all and am very confident that the patient care will continue to be the main priority of the doctors and all the staff here. The past year has been the most challenging time to be a GP in those 27 years and I am very proud of the hard work and level of care that the team have given and continue to give. I wish you all the best of health for the future.

Don't forget the Minor Injury Unit based at Witney Community Hospital - this is often quicker than A&E at the John Radcliffe. They are able to offer the immediate treatment of fractured limbs and arrange further care as necessary. Click on the above image for more information

Information about training at Burford Surgery

Burford Surgery is approved for the post graduate training of doctors in their specialist training for General Practice. Dr Albert is an approved postgraduate GP trainer in the Oxford Deanery. Many surgeries in Oxfordshire are involved in training future doctors. We see this as a really positive thing. Not only is it great to be involved in helping learners but it also keeps us all on our toes as we are constantly asked 'why'! As a patient you may be offered an appointment with one of the learner doctors but you are under no pressure to do so. Earlier in their training you are likely to be offered a much longer appointment than usual. We are regularly inspected to keep our approval by the Oxford Deanery.
