Flu (influenza) is a serious illness that hospitalises thousands of people and sadly causes many deaths in England each year. The flu vaccine is the best protection for you and for those around you.

It’s important to have your flu vaccination every year, even if you’ve had it before or have previously been ill with flu. Immunity fades over time, and flu viruses change each year.

Flu clinics are expected to begin in early October.

Those eligible for a flu vaccine are:
🦠 Children aged 2 and 3 (invited to the surgery)
🦠 Pregnant women
🦠 People with certain long-term health conditions
🦠 People aged 65 and over
🦠 Those in long-stay residential care homes
🦠 Carers in receipt of carer’s allowance, or those who are the main carer of an elderly or disabled person
🦠 Close contacts of immunocompromised individuals
🦠 School-aged children from Reception to Year 11 (offered in school)
🦠 Frontline health and social care workers

We kindly ask patients not to call the practice to book an appointment at this stage and to wait to be contacted.

📞 Please make sure your mobile number is up to date in your records. If you do not have a mobile, we will contact you by another method. 📞

Thank you for your patience and support as we prepare for another busy vaccination season! 💉🤗

From September 2025, you’ll be able to get your cervical screening results faster and more securely through the NHS App. This change will mean faster results, less waiting, and fewer letters lost in the post!

⭐ If your test is normal, you’ll see it in the app
⭐ If your test is abnormal, you’ll still get a letter with the next steps
⭐ If you don’t check the app within 72 hours, a letter will still be sent to you as a backup

If you haven’t tried it yet, the NHS App is a handy way to see your health information all in one place. Many patients already find it useful for prescriptions, appointments and other health information, and now for cervical screening results too! 😊

Further information can be found at: www.nhs.uk/nhs-app

Not all local pharmacies will be open during the Summer Bank Holiday, so it’s important to know which ones are available if you need them! 📋

If you run out of medication while we’re closed, you can call NHS 111 for advice and to request an emergency supply. 💊

You can find a list of other local pharmacies open over the Bank Holiday here: https://www.hwics.org.uk/our-services/pharmacy/nhs-community-pharmacy-bank-holiday-opening-times

Your body can do amazing things, and that includes sharing protection.🤰

Vaccines given in pregnancy protect you from serious infections and help your baby fight illness from the moment they’re born. 👶

💉 Flu
💉 Whooping cough (Pertussis)
💉 RSV (Bronchiolitis)
💉 and others that can help keep you and your baby safe.

The vaccines are free, safe, and part of your antenatal care. Please speak with your midwife or GP surgery, and they can talk you through what’s recommended for you and your baby. 🤗

Antibiotics are life-saving medicines, but they’re losing their power. Misusing antibiotics gives harmful bacteria a chance to adapt and become resistant, which makes future infections harder (or even impossible) to treat. 🦠

💊 Always take the full course of antibiotics (as prescribed), even if you feel better. Stopping antibiotics early gives bacteria a chance to survive and become even stronger.
💊 Never share or use leftover antibiotics. They may not be suitable for your illness, and taking the wrong antibiotic contributes to resistance.
💊 Never purchase antibiotics without a prescription. Antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional after a proper diagnosis.

Every year, antibiotic-resistant infections cause thousands of deaths worldwide. 🌍

Please wash your hands regularly, keep up to date with vaccines, and only use antibiotics when truly needed. 🧼

This week (7th - 13th July 2025) is Alcohol Awareness Week. We're joining the nationwide conversation about our drinking habits and how they can affect our health, relationships, and well-being.

In the UK, alcohol is often part of our culture, from after-work pints or vino, to weekend celebrations, it's easy to overlook the potential impact of these everyday habits:

🍺 1 in 4 people in the UK drink more than the recommended guidelines.
🍺 It's estimated that 1 in 10 hospital admissions are alcohol-related.
🍺 Alcohol is linked to over 200 health conditions, including cancer, liver disease, and depression.

This week is not about judgment. It’s about awareness, honesty, and informed choices. Whether you're looking to cut down, go alcohol-free, or simply learn more, small changes really can make all the difference.
