💉 following the increase of the influenza virus this season , we are extending the opportunity to have your flu vaccination at Feeny.

Please contact us to see if you are eligible and want to book .
Once our stock is exhausted we are unable to supply until the spring campaign.

A Ward at Altnagelvin Hospital has been temporarily closed to admissions due to an increase flu among patients.

We are appealing to the public to avoid visiting the hospital if they are feeling unwell, and have coughs, colds or flu-like symptoms; or have any infectious conditions.

Visitors are reminded to thoroughly wash their hands before and after visiting other parts of the hospital. Visitors should visit only one patient whilst at the hospital, refrain from sitting on hospital beds and not move among patients and from ward to ward when visiting. We also would encourage everyone eligible to get their flu and COVID-19 Booster vaccinations to boost their immune systems and to protect themselves and others from serious illness and the spread of the flu this winter.

As a precautionary measure and to prevent any further spread of the flu, a decision was made that Ward 25 be temporarily closed to new admissions. The situation is being closely monitored and we plan to reopen the ward to admissions as soon as possible.

The Trust's Infection Prevention and Control team is continuing to provide advice. Increased infection control measures have been taken.

Bowel cancer screening is offered to people aged 60 to 74 to check for bowel cancer.

Screening can help detect cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective. Screening can also check for and remove polyps which can go on to develop into cancer over time.
