Why have your flu vaccination at YOUR GP surgery?
- We offer a setting where we can check your medical records and make sure you get the most suitable vaccine
- We can offer protection for those who may be forgetful by reducing the risk of duplicating in vaccine being administered
- We offer a fast, efficient and friendly flu clinic with your lock surgery team (the staff really enjoy our flu clinics, it gives us a nice break from ‘normal’ work)
- We have already ordered a flu vaccination for all eligible patients registered with us. We have to do this and assure NHS England we have enough vaccines for everyone. We have to buy the vaccines for you and we can only return limited numbers that go unused, and the rest have to paid for by the surgery. Please book your appointment to receive your vaccination with us, YOUR local GP surgery, have brought your vaccine and want to protect you!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Station View Health Centre have made changes to the way they offer ‘Same day’ appointments
‘Same day’ appointments are available for patients to book on the day and these are booked by calling the surgery at 08.00. These appointments are intended for patients with acute illnesses/problems that need to be actioned by a Clinician that day.
These appointments will now be booked in time order to prevent the further loss of appointments.
We would also like to remind patients that our ANP, nurses, B12, INR and blood appointments can be booked online without the need to call the surgery.
If you would like to sign up to Online Access, please speak to a member of the reception team. (You will need to provide photo ID)
We would like to thank you for your ongoing support.

Over the Counter Medication/Treatments for Self-Limiting Conditions
As you may be aware, the NHS is under unprecedented financial pressure and it is vital that all NHS resources are used in the best way possible, therefore we are encouraging Patients to self-care in the first instance by managing symptoms through non-medicinal intervention or alternatively, to seek advice from a community Pharmacist and purchase an OTC medication to manage minor ailments as outlined in the ‘Guidance for Self-Limited Conditions’ further down.
This will also help to reduce the number of unnecessary appointments. If a Patient consults with a GP, or an Advanced Nurse Practitioners the Practice will no longer prescribe medicines which are available over the counter for self-limiting conditions, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

The Health Centre
The health centre has suitable access for disabled patients. Parking facilities are available but these are limited. Please do not leave your vehicle in the car park while you finish your shopping!
Practice History
The history of Station View Health Centre goes back over 70 years to the time that the first GP set up in Hinckley to provide general medical services to the local population. Since then, the practice has gradually developed to become one of the most comprehensive primary health care teams in the Hinckley and Market Bosworth area. This has happened on an evolving basis with the single-handed practice becoming a partnership after the second world war, and a group practice establishing itself in the 1970s. Since that time, and during the 1980s and 1990s, the primary health care team has become reality coupled with professional management and, more recently, purpose-built premises. The practice has worked from many different locations over the years, and during 2002 relocated to a brand new private finance-funded primary care building.
