Memorial Medical Centre, NHS GP practice in Memorial Medical Centre, Bell Road, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME10 4XX

We are still here for you

Please continue to call us for appointments as usual and rest assured that we are working to ensure the practice continues to be a safe environment for patients and staff. Please do not delay if you have any concerns regarding your health. Initially you will be given a telephone consultation but if the GP needs to see you face to face or via video call, they will arrange this with you.

Scam Alert

We are aware some people are receiving fraudulent calls and text messages offering the Covid-19 vaccination. In some cases, people are asked to press a number on their keypad or to send a text message to confirm they wish to receive the vaccine. Doing so is likely to result in a charge being applied to their phone bill. In other cases, callers are offering the vaccine for a fee or asking for bank details.

Please be alert to these scams.

The vaccine is only available from the NHS and the NHS will contact you when it is your turn.

The NHS will:

NEVER ask you to press a button on your keypad to confirm you want a vaccine.
NEVER ask for payment for the vaccine or for your bank details.

If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up. If you believe you have been the victim of fraud or identity theft you should report this directly to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040. Where the victim is vulnerable, report it to Kent Police online or phone 101.

Covid-19 vaccine

Covid-19 vaccinations will be provided through a range of local NHS services. The vaccines will be available to everyone over 18 years old. People will be invited for vaccination based on a nationally set priority list. The elderly and most at risk from Covid-19 will be vaccinated first

We are not currently providing Covid-19 vaccines. We will update this page when more information about local vaccine services is confirmed.

You do not need to contact the surgery until you receive a letter, text or phone call about getting the Covid-19 vaccines. Our phone lines are very busy and we would appreciate your support to keep phone lines open for people needing to make appointments for other health matters.

The vaccination programme will take several months to work through everyone, so it could be some time before you are contacted.

Please help protect yourself, friends and loved ones by getting vaccinated when you are invited.

New Safety Measures

To help us to continue seeing patients we have introduced some additional measures to help protect both our patients and staff. This includes asking a series of questions to ensure that anyone coming into the surgery does not have COVID-19 symptoms.

The surgery is now operating a one way system. Patients will enter the building in the normal way but will be guided out through a door at the back of the building, unless this is inappropriate for the patient.
