You might have seen on the news that flu rates locally are rising. We are seeing lots of patients with cold/cold/flu symptoms at the moment. We would ask, that if able, you wear a mask if attending the surgery with flu like/respiratory (cough/wheeze) symptoms. The majority of cough/cold symptoms are caused by a viral illness and you will improve in a few days (around a week or so) with self care measures. You can buy remedies from supermarkets or ask your local pharmacy for advice. See the NHS website for more tips: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu/ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/cough/
Park View, Victoria Way and occasionally Lavender Grove surgery will close for an afternoon if staffing pressures or to avoid lone working. See our monthly News Post with more details of specific opening hours.
