The Falmouth Health Centre Practice

The feedback we get most is about the parking in the carpark. We would like to inform all patients that our practice does not own or manage the car park adjacent to the building directly. As a result we are unable to control who uses the parking spaces, enforce parking restrictions, or make any changes to the layout or availability of spaces.
We understand that this can cause inconvenience and frustration. If you have concerns about the car park, please direct them to us, and we will forward them on to the landowners.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Measles

Measles cases are on the rise in the UK. Vaccination is vital to protect both your own children and those around you who are vulnerable. If you’ve missed a dose, or you haven’t started yet, it’s never too late to catch up. If you are under 25 and you aren't sure, check your NHS App or give us a ring.
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases, and while anti-vaccine stories are often spread on social media, these may not be based on scientific evidence and could put your child at risk of a serious illness.

Facts:
• Vaccines do not cause autism – studies have found no evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism
• They do not overload or weaken the immune system
• Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing before being introduced – they’re also constantly monitored for side effects

If people are not vaccinated, serious illnesses can spread. Measles can lead to life-threatening complications like meningitis, and may even be fatal. Book your child’s vaccine today.
