Welcome to Sunniside Surgery
Our mission at Sunniside Surgery is to work as a team, providing our patients with a high quality service at all times.
We are here for GP face to face and telephone appointments. Patients can also book in with the nurse for procedures such as smears, annual reviews, NHS health checks and much more.
If unsure please contact reception.
We also encourage patients to make use of the online services such as e-Consult and Patient Access for more flexibility and to assist the admin team.
There are appointments with the GP to book on-line for both face to face and the telephone.
There are Covid vaccination clinics running at Sunniside Surgery from later this month for eligible cohort groups

MMR Vaccine
MMR vaccine protects against three infections measles, mumps and rubella. These are viral infections that can quickly spread to unprotected children and adults, they spread more easily than flu or the common cold. The objective of the immunisation programme is to provide two doses of MMR vaccine at appropriate intervals for all eligible individuals.
Contact the practice to check your MMR status.
Covid Spring Booster
We now have clinics available for over 75's to book the covid Spring booster vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccines are normally given seasonally, but some people with a severely weakened immune system may need additional protection at other times. This may be because of a health condition or medical treatment.
The NHS will contact you if your NHS record suggests you may be eligible for a seasonal spring COVID-19 vaccine.
You may be offered a spring COVID-19 vaccine from April 2024 if you:
- are aged 75 years old or over
- live in a care home for older adults
- are aged 6 months old or over and have a weakened immune system
When available, there will be different ways to get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine:
- booking online
- going to a walk in COVID-19 vaccination site
- through a local NHS service, such as a GP surgery
