PANDEMIC FLU
We are commencing our Pandemic Flu vaccination programme in November and intend to do this in a similar way to the Seasonal Flu programme.
No letters will be sent out as we believe there will be sufficient media coverage and we can supplement this with our own local promotion.
The Department of Health have advised GP Practices to prioritise the most vulnerable
'At Risk' patients - these are:
- Those aged 6 months and up to 65 years in the seasonal flu vaccine clinical at-risk groups
- All pregnant women
- All household contacts of immuno-compromised individuals (i.e. patients on chemotherapy treatment)
All patients who meet these criteria should ring the main surgery (01728 723627) and request an appointment in our Pandemic Vaccination Clinics.
N.B. Our receptionists are able to identify patients who qualify for the vaccination from their medical records and will decline appointments for anyone who is not in these
'at risk' categories.
- Over 65s in the seasonal flu vaccine clinical at-risk groups will be the next group to be vaccinated however the three groups above must take priority as they are at greater risk.
PATIENT SURVEYS
We used to run own annual patient survey however national surveys are now being conducted by MORI using postal questionnaires.
We are reliant upon YOU, our patients, to take the time to complete and return these questionnaires and this is very important as the surgery is "performance managed" on the outcomes ? a poor return or low score can significantly affect our income.
We are therefore asking everyone to PLEASE help their practice by filling in a survey form if you receive one in the post. Thank you.
We will keep everyone updated with any change etc. via the website
