NHS Covid Pass for Patients Vaccinated Abroad
We are UNABLE to record any Covid vaccination received abroad in a way that will allow a Covid Pass to be generated using the NHS APP. Please use this link to book an appointment (Book Appointment) to register your vaccinations received abroad. |
Telephone Triage and Appointments
We are continuing to use the Telephone Triage system, as we have found this allows us to treat a larger number of patients and offer more services. Using the triage system, we can ensure that each patient is treated by the most appropriate Clinician for their condition, and where necessary a face-to-face appointment will be given. We now have access to a wide range of services which we can offer to our patients, including:
- Doctors
- Nursing Team
- Clinical Pharmacist
- First Contact Physio – Initial physio assessment
- Social Prescriber – Working from Silverstone and seeing face to face patients
- Weight Management Coach
- Mental Health Practitioner

Do I still need to wear a face covering when I visit Brook Health Centre or Silverstone Surgery?
Even after 19th July, we have been asking everyone who comes into the building to wear a face covering. Despite it no longer being mandatory outside of the NHS, face coverings have been shown to significantly reduce the chances of spreading infection.
To support those who are clinically vulnerable we are asking everyone to show respect and continue to wear a face covering. Our clinical staff will always wear a face covering during your consultation. Our clinical staff come into close physical contact with you and many other patients and so this will help protect you. |
