Update from Sunbury Health Centre

As of Monday 15th February, 4,151 of our patients have been vaccinated with their first Covid jab. 

We would like to thank our patients for their patience as we continue to send out vaccination invitations moving through the cohorts following the government vaccination plan. 

We are working closely with our local GP Federation (NICS) who have vaccina-tion hubs in Staines, Walton, Chertsey and Woking although increasingly pa-tients will be invited to the mass vaccina-tion site at Epsom racecourse. 

The vaccination programme is complex as we now move to maintain the momen-tum for 1st vaccinations whilst also start-ing to invite patients for their 2nd vaccina-tions. 

We will continue to publish up to date information as we receive it on the prac-tice website and Facebook page. 

Staffing updates at the Practice: 

We are very pleased to welcome back Dr Laura Adam after her recent maternity leave. We have also welcomed Dr Sahdia Choudry and are delighted that she has joined the clinical team. 

We have employed two Clinical Pharma-cists; Sharan Punny & Eklin Khurana both of whom bring with them a wealth of knowledge from various clinical set-tings. 

You may be aware that Dr Canniff, in addition to her GP Partner role here at Sunbury, is also the Clinical Chair for Surrey Heartlands CCG. Dr Canniff is heavily involved in the Covid effort across Surrey, and for the next 12 months will be reducing her time at Sunbury to work on the Surrey Heartlands pandemic response. Ranjit Brar has joined the prac-tice and will be covering Dr Canniff’s session on Mondays. He has worked at Sunbury previously as a locum doctor, and we are pleased he has joined us on a more regular basis.
