MenB needs close and prolonged contact to spread, such as living in the same household
or intimate contact such as kissing or sharing drinks and vapes.

It is not as contagious as other infections like measles or COVID-19.

Mother's Day can be difficult if you are experiencing grief, bereavement, or loss.

There is no timetable for how long grief lasts, or how you should feel at a particular time of year. But remember, you are not alone.

EDIT: there is no illness in the surgery. As the post below states, staff are off work poorly with illness, leaving us short staffed. The post is to help prevent this happening again 🩵

🦠 🦠 It is officially germ season! 🦠 🦠

As you may already know, we are struggling with staff shortages due to illness at the moment.
There seems to be a nasty respiratory virus doing the rounds that presents just like RSV / COVID.

Please can we ask that if you have any symptoms you do not attend the practice. If you do have to attend and have symptoms, please can we ask that you wear a mask.
Staff will be doing the same to protect each other as well as patients.

Thank you as always for your continued support 🩵
