Feeling a bit "bleurgh" 🤢 ? Stomach bugs can be very unpleasant but usually clear up by themselves within a couple of days.

If you are unwell with diarrhoea or vomiting you should:

✔️ stay off work or school until at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
✔️ avoid visiting anyone in hospital during this time.
✔️ wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water particularly after using the toilet and before preparing or handling food.
✔️ drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
✔️ take paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
✔️ get plenty of rest.
✔️ use special rehydration drinks, available from community pharmacies if you have signs of dehydration, such as a dry mouth or dark urine.
✔️ if you feel like eating try plain foods such as soup, rice, pasta and bread

MISSED APPOINTMENTS - we need your help..

We have recently seen an increase in patients not attending their appointment and not letting us know in advance so the appointment can't be rebooked.

Currently, the wait for a routine appointment is a couple of weeks and these missed appointments only cause further delays.

Please can you make sure you phone us to cancel or reschedule your appointment if you are no longer able to attend. Alternatively, you can use the reply option to your text message reminder.

We fully appreciate how busy life can get but a quick call or replying to the text is really appreciated 🙏
