Remember this flu season the flu vaccine is the best protection from serious illness. You can book an appointment with our practice nurse Theo who is available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays, or alternatively you can get this completed at your local pharmacy.

If you catch flu and you have a certain long term health condition, you are at a much higher risk of being seriously ill or hospitalised.

Thank you for your continued support with only ordering medication that you need. We still need your help to reduce medicine waste. We are asking patients to check what prescription medicines you still have at home before ordering your next prescription and 'only order what you need' when ordering repeat prescriptions.

Visit: www.cheshireandmerseyside.nhs.uk/medicines-waste to find out more.

An estimated 6.2 million medicine items are wasted unnecessarily in Cheshire and Merseyside each year. We need your help to reduce this.
