Free Flu Vaccination!!! Flu clinics Our first flu clinic will take place on Saturday 24 September, with more clinics on the Saturday 8 October and Saturday 15 October (in good time before the flu season starts!). We will write to all patients who are eligible for the vaccination under the NHS, inviting them to attend one of the clinics. You will not need to call the surgery to make an appointment. We advise all eligible patients to take advantage of the protection that the flu vaccine offers; and we encourage patients to have the vaccination administered by a doctor or nurse in one of our flu clinics. As your family doctor, we have been providing flu vaccinations for many years; and this is an important part of the coordinated package of healthcare we provide for our patients. Children and the flu vaccine The flu vaccine for children is a nasal spray and is available each year on the NHS for two, three and four-year-olds. Children with a long-term health condition should also have a flu vaccination because their illness could get worse if they catch flu. This includes any child over the age of six months with a long-term health problem such as a serious respiratory or neurological condition. In addition, ALL children in school years one, two and three may now receive the flu vaccine (nasal spray) through their child’s school. Unfortunately, we are unable to vaccinate this group of children at the surgery unless they have a long-term health condition as described above. Over the next few years the programme will be extended to children in other year groups. Carers If you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person, whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill or if you receive a carer’s allowance, then you are entitled to a FREE flu vaccine. |

Would you recommend Fernville to Friends or Family? Whenever we do something for you, you are entitled to apply "the Friends & Family Test" by answering the simple question: “How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they need similar care or treatment?” All GP practices in England are introducing this test as a quick and simple way of collecting patient feedback to improve services. You can pick up a form in the surgery for this, or complete the test using our automated check-in screen. But you may prefer to do this online following the link below. You can also view the results! |
