________________________________________________________________________________ Getting Vaccinated Against Seasonal Flu All people who are over the age of 65 years or, who have particular disease risks, are entitled to be immunised annually to reduce their chances of contracting seasonal flu and suffering complications associated with it. For vulnerable people flu can be a very debilitating infection and it can take several weeks to make a complete recovery. In some cases it can cause complications including bronchitis and pneumonia, which may need hospital treatment. In addition to those over 65 if you suffer from any of the following, you are entitled to a flu vaccination.
If you are unsure if you are entitled please contact the surgery and we will advise. At Norden House we will be starting our flu vaccination clinics in October and if you are a patient of ours and would like to book your appointment, would suggest you ring from September onwards. We strongly recommend that you have a flu vaccination so please contact the surgery on 01296 713434 to arrange an appointment. Noel Ratcliffe Practice Manager Article added on the 26th August 2011
________________________________________________________________________________ Works at Winslow Health Centre The Practice would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused by the protracted building works in Winslow Health Centre. The building has been long overdue a 'facelift' and as the building will now be fully occupied for the first time in many years the PCT felt it was important to carry out essential maintenance as well as refurbishment. Further the PCT has recognised the increasing pressure being put on facilities at Norden House surgery by the growing population of Winslow and has allocated the practice a number of additional clinical rooms. When finished we will be able to move all of our nursing team into Winslow Health Centre which should make it more straightforward when it comes to patients deciding which building they need to visit. Further we will be able to see many more patients downstairs which will be a blessing to those that find the stairs difficult. We hope that the bulk of the work will be finished by the middle of September 2011 and that we will be able to reinstate most of the car park by the end of September. We apologise for the delays in completion but unfortunately some of the work was more complex than expected. We are very grateful for everyone's patience, in particular our neighbours for whom it has been particularly difficult. When we finally reach the end we should be left with much improved facilities for patients and the capability to meet the needs of our growing population.
Thank You. Article added September 2011
