Are you Under the age of 65 and eligible for a flu vaccination?? Please phone the surgery on 01778 393399 to arrange a time for your free, annual flu vaccination. Due to the vaccines being delivered later this year and in separate batches again we will be carrying out our flu clinics for your age range slightly later and slightly different this year. You will be able to book an appointment for either of the below 3 clinics. • Saturday 12th October • Monday 14th October Evening clinic • Saturday 26th October Carers are also eligible for the free flu vaccination (as the welfare of the person they care for may be at risk if the carer falls ill). If you have a carer who is registered at this practice, please let them know we can give them the vaccine free of charge as well. To explain the delay There has been a delay to the vaccine delivery of the Quadrivalent influenza vaccination (Split virion, inactivated for under 65 year olds). The world health organisation (WHO) took a decision to delay the selection of the strain by one month. This had an effect on the manufacturing timelines and will impact the vaccine time to market. If you decide not to have the vaccination please let us know so we can enter this onto your medical records. Thank you we look forward to seeing you soon.

New dementia support service in Lincolnshire A new support service for dementia patients and their families is being launched in Lincolnshire. Three organisations - St Barnabas Hospice, Dementia UK and Lincolnshire County Council - are working together to provide the county with six specialist dementia nurses or "Admiral Nurses". They will work with families to provide one- to- one support. Tracey Carter, from Dementia UK, said: "Our focus, for want of a better word, is to try and enable families to stay in the here and now, to focus on the here and now and to develop a good quality of life and to help them live well with dementia. And then to feel less fear and less stress about thinking about the future and planning."
