Emberbrook - 10,000 patients vaccinated

East Elmbridge Primary Care Network have hit the fantastic milestone of their 10,000th Covid vaccine. This is an amazing achievement as the team were involved in restoring services following the fire at Emberbrook two weeks ago. Pictured are the unsung heroes from the booking and pharmacy teams, together with some of the clinic staff and volunteers (photo taken at the Thames Ditton Centre, near Emberbrook).
