Swine flu- update November 2009:  Please do not come to the practice if you have symptoms of swine flu, for advice and supplies of antiviral treatment please contact the flu service:  0800 1513100 , log on to http://www.direct.gov.uk/pandemicflu , or call the practice by phone. If you have already contacted the swine flu line, and are not getting better, or feeling worse, then please contact our receptionists and ask to speak to a doctor urgently, we will contact you back that day to assist.

Delivery of the first batch of 500 swine flu vaccines have arrived, and we hope to have more soon. We will be vaccinating the highest risk patients in the first instance, and also our staff to minimise any disruption to the surgery throughout this pandemic. We will be sending invitations to all those eligible very soon via post or text messaging. Please ensure we have the correct contact details for you, including an up to date mobile number. If you receive an invitation, then please contact the receptionists, and they will book you into a special clinic as soon as possible. If you feel that you should have been sent an invitation and haven’t, then please contact the receptionists with your concern, and this will be passed on to a member of the medical team who will decide if you need the vaccine.
