The surgery is currently seeing a sharp rise in people seeking help and support for common winter conditions that can often be managed at home through effective self-care.
This current wave of flu cases is expected to peak in the next few days and is affecting young people the most. People across the region who find themselves under the weather are being urged to practice effective self-care.
Flu-like symptoms, such as headaches, fevers and sore throats, can be easily managed at home through a combination of resting, staying hydrated and making use of common medicine box items, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
As antibiotics are ineffective against flu, people seeking healthcare advice should avoid calling their GP practice. Symptoms often last at least 3 weeks.
If you are eligible for the flu vaccine and have not yet had it, please consider getting it as soon as possible.
