Liphook surgery - K (10th Sep 2020 - 07:06:55) Is the surgery open at all? Building and car park looks deserted! If so shouldn’t we be informed?

Re: Liphook surgery - Paul Robinson (10th Sep 2020 - 08:21:39) Which Surgery ? Paul Robinson

Re: Liphook surgery - Ade (10th Sep 2020 - 08:38:55) I am not a rocket scientist by any means… Me thinks Liphook Surgery

Re: Liphook surgery - mbcj (10th Sep 2020 - 09:12:10) It is open. You have to go to the open window. The receptionists also answer the phone as usual.

Re: Liphook surgery - Peter (10th Sep 2020 - 16:19:39) Ade - Two surgeries in Liphook

Re: Liphook surgery - Sue (10th Sep 2020 - 17:33:48) Closed or open, you'd probably be wasting your time. If you can afford private then have mercy on your health.

Re: Liphook surgery - brian (10th Sep 2020 - 18:51:22) I had a letter asking to get in touch to book my Flu jab. Told none available at Liphook (Newtown) surgery. Suggested I phone back next week. Offered one at Liss surgery for 17th Oct. Not much help.

Re: Liphook surgery - C (10th Sep 2020 - 21:50:21) Lloyds Pharmacy have flu jab appointments from 5 October - book on their website. Free for those eligible or £12.99 otherwise.

Re: Liphook surgery - Joe (10th Sep 2020 - 23:39:03) Have heard that Asda are doing the flu jab cheaper than that at 7.99 I believe.

Re: Liphook surgery - L (11th Sep 2020 - 06:45:17) Please don't get your flu jab at Lloyd's or supermarkets, they are private businesses! Support your NHS as the money from flu jabs go back into the NHS and all surgeries need your support

Re: Liphook surgery - Pete (11th Sep 2020 - 07:40:10) Jeeez a lot of you need to take a long hard look at yourselves. K- The surgery opens at 8am your post was time stamped @7:06. Ade- get your facts right before trying to ridicule previous poster for asking which surgery (there are two in liphook) Sue- If you believe they are that bad change surgeries in my experience Liphook and Liss are one of the better ones. Brian - I believe they are currently booking the Flu clinics at Liss only as the Liphook site is covid secure and is not being used for face to face except in emergencies. C & Joe - See post below yours, L has a very good point.

Re: Liphook surgery - Nicky (11th Sep 2020 - 07:58:02) We had letters asking us to book our flu jab from Liphook Village Surgery and despite not being able to book it via the website as suggested my husband phoned and appointments are booked for next Saturday. Fabulous service!!!

Re: Liphook surgery - D (11th Sep 2020 - 08:35:18) L (and Pete). Lloyd's Pharmacy Liphook provide an essential, life saving service for hundreds of people in Liphook sourcing and supplying medications some of which people need to take just to stay alive. We are very lucky to have a pharmacy in Liphook, the next one I believe is in Petersfield and some of these people just can't travel. There are MANY private organisations working closely with the National Health Service, there always has been and it couldn't function without them. To deny Lloyd's Pharmacy Liphook the small fee of providing your flu vaccine is endangering the most vital service to many in Liphook. However, if Lloyd's Pharmacy Liphook wasn't there I'm sure L and her friend Pete won't mind collecting all these people's prescriptions for them. Would you?

Re: Liphook surgery - Pete (11th Sep 2020 - 09:16:42) D - Lloyds is run by a very large US company and do very well, I cant see that they rely on flue vaccines to survive and I doubt they offer it purely for the good of the community £12.99 x 1200 outlets x however many customers is a lot of turnover. As for me collecting peoples prescriptions there is a very good postal prescription service available from Lloyds and other chemists so rather negates that point.

Re: Liphook surgery - D (11th Sep 2020 - 11:57:18) Pete, these postal prescription services are okay if a cheaper alternative can be found for the item you require, that's how they make their money (they are all private firms, you see?) However, there is not a cheaper alternative for all items. Some monthly cancer treatments for example, are exclusive to the manufacturer and there is no alternative. These firms will not entertain you on items such as this (no profit margin) therefore one has no alternative but to obtain it through establishments such as Lloyd's Pharmacy Liphook. I hope this clears up your confusion.

Re: Liphook surgery - K (11th Sep 2020 - 12:44:29) Coincidence or what? Had a newsletter from the surgery this morning! First ever!!

Re: Liphook surgery - Zoe (11th Sep 2020 - 13:14:59) Wow, if this is how people are reacting to the normal flu Jab. I dread to think what will happen when or if the covid-19 jab comes out. Personally I get a bad reaction from the normal flu Jab. It's not one size fits all. Some of us just can't have it. So I won't be having the covid-19 jab either. I will allow my immune system to do what it's supposed to naturally to keep me healthy and not rely on chemicals that my body rejects to keep me healthy. The chemical loving public will have a problem with this comment. That's just your perception. Your not in my body and are not my immune system so it ok to disagree with me.

Re: Liphook surgery - Pete (11th Sep 2020 - 14:24:34) D- No confusion thank you. Lloyds offer their own delivery service for free and if you pay for your prescription it is the same charge as a collected prescription, if it is available at Lloyds over the counter it is available by post. Admittedly this is for repeat prescriptions but I would think the majority of prescriptions for serious health conditions would be on a repeat basis.

Re: Liphook surgery - Helen (11th Sep 2020 - 17:07:28) In response to posters about cost, I am not eligible for the free flu jab from the NHS. At present they are only doing the over 65s and vunerable. I may have to wait ages before the over 50s are on the list, so if I want a jab without having to wait I will have to pay for it. Do not think all the posters above are paying for the jab. .

Re: Liphook surgery - C (11th Sep 2020 - 19:15:36) Helen - I’m self employed so paying £12.99 for a flu jab is well worth it. If I get flu and lose several days work, it will cost me hundreds of pounds of lost income.

Re: Liphook surgery - Diane (11th Sep 2020 - 23:34:08) there is an excellent pharmacy at the health Centre in Haslemere which is open long hours and Sundays

Re: Liphook surgery - K (13th Sep 2020 - 16:08:08) My husband and myself have booked with Boots and on-line. No messing about, date and time instant and FOC. Changing to another surgery Is not easy! Tried that and was refused and told to ‘register’ with Liphook. Thankfully I have as little to do with them as possible in ‘normal’ times. My husband likes to visit the surgery and refuses to believe it is a waste of time.

Re: Liphook surgery - D (13th Sep 2020 - 18:20:37) Helen, even though I can have a free jab I do still pay for it to support Lloyds Pharmacy Liphook as a thank you for the excellent service they provide. Please remember exempt age groups have been paying income tax for many decades so I myself don't begrudge them it at all.
