Our Christmas Memory Tree is up bearing the names of patients from the surgery who have passed away in 2025. If you would like to add your loved one’s name to our tree we have labels etc at reception. We are raising money this year for Wexford Mental Health Association. Please leave a contribution in our collection bucket. We will be making our own donations instead of sending Christmas Thank You cards.

ADDENDUM
THESE ARE RESPIRATORY ONLY CLINICS FOR REGISTERED PATIENTS OF THE FAYTHE MEDICAL CENTRE ONLY.

If you are not our patient please check with your own Doctor’s surgery to see if they are offering similar Winter Clinics

We are currently seeing a rise in respiratory illnesses, making this a very busy time for our practice. To help meet demand we will be offering additional clinics and longer opening hours.

These extra clinics will only deal with respiratory symptoms such as colds, flu, sore throat, cough , exacerbation of asthma or COPD.

These clinics will operate on Monday evenings from 8th December from 5-7pm and are by appointment only. Call 0539142355

We hope this makes it easier for everyone to get the care they need.

Thinking of heading to a sandy beach over the summer? Some information on Weeverfish to keep in mind.

The WEEVERFISH is found in all parts of the Irish coast but only in sandy areas, usually in warm shallow waters in the hour before and after low tide. Unlike most fish, they have no swim bladder, meaning that they sink to the bottom as soon as the stop swimming. They are, therefore, difficult to see because they spend most of their time buried under the sand. The have sharp spines containing venom on their dorsal fin.

WHAT TO EXPECT
🟢 Standing on a Weeverfish results in immediate intense, burning pain.
🟢The pain is most intense in the first 2 hours and can result in swelling, numbness and warmth.

WHAT TO DO
✅ Seek assistance from a lifeguard, if available.
✅ Submerge the affected limb or wound in hot water, as hot as can be tolerated for up to 90 minutes or until pain is easing.
✅ As the sting can result in numbness, immerse the unaffected limb too, as this may prevent inadvertent scalding.
✅ Cold applications may worsen the discomfort.
✅ Paracetamol can be considered to relieve pain. Care should be taken when pain relief is given that thermal burns do not occur due to the effects of the pain killer masking the temperature of the water used.
✅ The puncture site should be examined and embedded spines removed.
✅ Seek medical attention from a doctor as a tetanus and/or antibiotics may be required.
✅ Call the NPIC on 01 8092166 if you stand on a Weeverfish.
