Whooping Cough Vaccination Programme for Pregnant Women

Whooping cough is highly infectious and can cause potentially fatal health complications in babies and young infant.  The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccination can be given from 20 weeks of pregnancy, ideally before 32 weeks, but it can still be given right up to the point of labour, but with reduced effectiveness. 

*The flu vaccination can be given at the same time as the whooping cough vaccination*

think MEASLES - It's not just a kids' problem   

Teenagers, young adults and anyone who has missed their MMR vaccination can get measles. 

Symptoms such as:

• High fever

• Rash - sometimes starting around the ears

• Sore red eyes

• Cough

• Aching and feeling unwell

Remember, if it could be measles - you need to be in an area where you cannot pass the infection to vulnerable patients such as the immunocompromised and pregnant women.  if you have any of the symptoms, please ring the surgery before attending and you will be signposted to a special seating area.

Named Accountable GP for all Patients

All patients have a named GP who is responsible for patients' overall care at the practice.  If you wish to know who this is, please contact the practice.  The named accountable GP will take lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required under the contract and ensure they are delivered for their patients where required (based on the clinical judgment of the named accountable GP).  Although patients have a named accountable GP, they can see any GP in the practice.

Cervical Screening

Don't lose the chance to reduce your risk of cervical cancer. You can reduce the risk of cervical cancer by attending cervical screening.  Despite this, over 20% of women invited for screening don't attend.  Be proactive about your health and go for screening when invited.  Smear test overdue?  Book yours today.
