We are working collaboratively with the other Ribblesdale Practices to deliver the covid vaccinations at Clitheroe Health Centre Treatment Room. We have started using a new Covid Vaccine Booking Programme called Accubook. Once your age/priority group becomes eligible, Accubook should make it easy for you to book in for your covid vaccination.

Please note the following:

1. The system will send a text out to you when you become eligible, inviting you to book into our next clinic. Once you receive the text, you can book a convenient date and time via the text.


2. If we don’t have your mobile number on your contact details at the surgery, or your number is invalid for any reason, our reception team will call and book you in manually.


3. If you have received a text invite but are struggling to book your appointment then please call the surgery and a member of the reception team will be happy to help.


4. If you have booked an appointment but then would like to cancel, you can do so via the text message you received.


5. If you do not respond to the invitation after 24 hours, then a new text invitation will be sent as a reminder after 48 hours.

We are working through the priority groups for vaccination. Please DO NOT call the surgery to enquire your appointment. You will be contacted in due course.

Covid update re Health and Social Care Worker vaccinations.
If you fall into this category, please DON’T call your practice, but instead follow the below:

We would love to be able to vaccinate all eligible patients but as we have limited and sporadic supply, must prioritise our elderly population.
These require local provision often due to health and mobility issues.

However, we are pleased to advise that provision has been made for all frontline Health and Social care workers (H&SCW) via East Lancs Hospital Trust (ELHT).

The Trust requests that all H&SCW organisations (which includes dentists, pharmacies, optometrists & LCC) have a named responsible person who will collate a list of all their staff.

The list will be sent to a designated ELHT e-mail address and then ELHT will contact those individuals to book them in to the appropriate hospital vaccine hub – either Burnley General Hospital or Royal Blackburn Hospital.

We have been advised to tell you that this is strictly on a booking system, and walk-ins will not be seen.

Once contacted please book ASAP as appointments are for a limited window.

You will need to take your workplace ID badge to confirm your eligibility.
