FLU Vaccination for 2-3 year olds. Extra clinics available. Drop in and no need to book.

Oldham currently has the lowest flu vaccine uptake for 2–3-year-olds in Greater Manchester. To help improve protection for our youngest children this winter, Oldham has been selected as the pilot area for additional Drop-in flu vaccine clinics, which will be delivered in Oldham Library and selected Family Hubs over the coming weeks.

Let’s hope hospital trusts don’t take over GPs as their ability to organise and communicate is far behind Gp capability. This is quite a damning find….

One in seven people in England who need hospital care are not receiving it because their GP referral is lost, rejected or delayed, the NHS’s patient watchdog has found.

Three-quarters (75%) of those trapped in this “referrals black hole” suffer harm to their physical or mental health as a result of not being added to the waiting list for tests or treatment said the report from Healthwatch England.

This is SHOCKING……. 😮

Really no excuses for this amount of patients not bothering to turn up with 38 in one day alone.

Not cancelling means other patients can’t get or struggle to get appointments. It’s easy to cancel by phone or online and we even send text reminders for the appointment.
