Message from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital

The pathology department located at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, which tests blood and other samples from GP practices across Norfolk and Waveney, has been experiencing delays since 29th July 2025, due to a change in IT system. Systems are now fully up and running. However, disruption caused by the digital switch-over is leading to delayed reporting of some non-urgent results to GP practices.

If you are waiting for the results of a test you have had, you may have to wait longer than normal for this to be reported. Please bear this in mind if chasing routine samples but do contact the practice if you have an urgent or worsening problem. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by these delays. The pathology and IT teams are working hard to rectify the issues and deal with the backlog of testing

Flu vaccination appointment request

Use this service to book your flu vaccination appointment, we will be in touch with an appointment time.

You can use this service if you:

  • are registered at the surgery

The flu vaccine is both safe and effective but patients who had a severe allergic reaction to any vaccine in the past should discuss this with the doctor or nurse prior to having the vaccination.

People may be a risk of an allergic reaction if they have an egg allergy. Egg free vaccines are now available and if you have suffered from this in the past you should still book your appointment but mention it when attending the surgery.

Anyone who has a fever on the day of the appointment should delay having the vaccine until they feel better.

In view of the very small risk of an allergic reaction, it would be wise for patients having the vaccine for the first time to be accompanied for at least 15 minutes after having the vaccine.
