Stay well this winter and help stop the spread😷🦠

📌Take common sense steps to reduce the spread of flu and other similar illnesses by exercising good respiratory and hand hygiene and staying away from others if you have symptoms.

📌Self-care is often the best choice to treat minor illnesses. Pharmacists are qualified to give advice about different health matters, including minor illnesses, so consider speaking to a pharmacist before going to your GP.

📌And if eligible get your flu vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine and RSV vaccine.

💉 following the increase of the influenza virus this season , we are extending the opportunity to have your flu vaccination at Feeny.
We have limited supply left for eligible patients ( adult and children ) and can only provide this in our Feeny practice.
Please contact us to see if you are eligible and want to book .
Once our stock is exhausted we are unable to supply until the spring campaign.

A Ward at Altnagelvin Hospital has been temporarily closed to admissions due to an increase flu among patients.

We are appealing to the public to avoid visiting the hospital if they are feeling unwell, and have coughs, colds or flu-like symptoms; or have any infectious conditions.

Visitors are reminded to thoroughly wash their hands before and after visiting other parts of the hospital. Visitors should visit only one patient whilst at the hospital, refrain from sitting on hospital beds and not move among patients and from ward to ward when visiting. We also would encourage everyone eligible to get their flu and COVID-19 Booster vaccinations to boost their immune systems and to protect themselves and others from serious illness and the spread of the flu this winter.

As a precautionary measure and to prevent any further spread of the flu, a decision was made that Ward 25 be temporarily closed to new admissions. The situation is being closely monitored and we plan to reopen the ward to admissions as soon as possible.

The Trust's Infection Prevention and Control team is continuing to provide advice. Increased infection control measures have been taken.
