Chicken pox is currently “doing the rounds” locally. It’s a useful time to share some self care tips about how to manage the symptoms at home as most children with chicken pox don’t need to see a GP. ⏺️ encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids - try ice lollies if your child is not drinking ⏺️ give paracetamol to help with any pain and discomfort - avoid ibuprofen ⏺️ use cooling creams or gels from a pharmacy ⏺️ speak to a pharmacist about using antihistamine medicine to help itching ⏺️ bathe in cool water and pat the skin dry (do not rub) If your child has chickenpox, they will need to stay off school/nursery until all the spots have formed a scab. This is usually 5 days after the spots first appeared. For further advice see the NHS website or contact NHS111. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chickenpox/
From Monday 2nd June our surgeries will close for a 45 minute period over lunchtime (changing from a 30 minute closure). This allows for our staff to take necessary breaks and to support the teams to attend important meetings. We will be closed 12:15 - 1pm. Please avoid attending the surgery to collect blood forms, prescriptions and drop in samples during this 45 minute period. The phone lines are available all day 8am to 6pm and the prioryCARE form is always available while the surgeries are closed for the lunch break.
