FLU AND PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINATIONS: If you are over 65 or have a chronic medical illness you should have an annual flu vaccine and possibly also the pneumoccal vaccine.

ASTHMA season is upon us. With the change of weather in September, children and adults often find that their asthma symptoms flare around this time of the year. Those of you who have stopped your preventative inhalers may need to restart them to prevent a flare. Please make an appointment with us if your asthma has not been reviewed in the last 6-12 months. Of note any child under 6 qualifies for free review of their asthma and is asked to come in for an asthma review every 6 months.

FREE GP CARE TO UNDER 6s AND TO OVER 70s
