Registrations

 

At present the surgery is not accepting new applications, except from immediate family members of existing patients.

 

The reason for this course of action is that our practice list size is full.

Please contact the registration department at the NHS Business Services Centre (01495 332000) who will provide you with a list of GP Practices who are accepting new patients in your area. 

 

H1N1 Swine Influenza Update

H1N1 Vaccinations for Children aged 6m to 5yrs

As advertised in the media swine flu vaccinations are now being offered to all children aged 6m to 5 years.  We are pleased to be able to offer the vaccine in surgery and would ask that you ring the surgery to make an appointment for your children.  If you do not want your child to have the vaccine please can you let the surgery know so that this can be added to their records.

Flu Symptoms

People with flu like symptoms should check their symptoms on www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk

The Swine Flu Information Line 0800 1 513513

NHS Direct Wales on 0845 46 47 for health advice

Most people with flu like illnesses will get better at home with rest, plenty of fluids, and medication such as paracetamol.

If your symptoms worsen or you have underlying health problems you should call NCMC on 029 20750322 or the Out of Hours GP Service on 029 20444500.  Please do not come to the surgery or go to Accident and Emergency if you have a flu-like illness unless advised to do so as this may risk spreading the infection.

It is very important for all people to practice good respiratory and hand hygiene to reduce the chance of catching or spreading viruses - remember to use tissues and 'Catch it; Kill it; Bin it!'

1. Always carry tissues
2. Dispose of dirty tissues promptly and carefully
3. Wash you hands frequently with soap and water
4. Clean hard surfaces (e.g. door handles) frequently
5. Help your children to follow this advice.

H1N1  Swine Flu Vaccination Clinics

Swine flu vaccination clinics are open at the surgery and are available for booking to the appropriate patients:

1. Patients aged 6 months and over with a chronic disease (such as heart disease; renal disease; respiratory problems; stroke etc..) These are the same 'at risk' groups as the seasonal flu vaccinations.
2. Health care workers who have been unable to have their vaccine with occupational health.
3. Pregnant women
4. Immuno-compromised patients and their household contacts (other members of the family living with them)

Please contact the surgery for further details or to arrange an appointment.

If you require further information about the vaccine go to www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk or call NHS Direct on 0845 4647
