It is of great concern that measles cases have soared across the country amid an increase in unvaccinated children. There were 1,603 suspected cases of measles in England and Wales in 2023 compared with 735 cases in 2022 and just 360 the year before.

There is no better time to consider the protection the MMR vaccine can bring.  The MMR vaccine is a safe and effective combined vaccine.  It protects against three serious illnesses: MEASLES, MUMPS & RUBELLA.  

These highly infectious conditions can easily spread between unvaccinated people so getting vaccinated is important, as these conditions can also lead to serious problems including meningitis, hearing loss and problems during pregnancy.

MMR vaccination advice is readily available from your surgery.

With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need.

As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

We are also a TEACHING PRACTICE so in addition to serving the Tamworth community, we regularly invite trainee doctors and clinicians from Keele University, to spend time with us as an important part of their medical educational experience.
