Flu cases are rising across many parts of the North and Midlands, and the NHS expects numbers to increase further over the next week or two.

As flu begins to spread more widely, having your flu vaccination remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you. The vaccine can help prevent serious illness, especially for people who are older, pregnant, or living with long-term conditions.

If you’re eligible and haven’t had your flu jab yet, please contact the practice and speak to one of our Patient Care Advisors, who will be happy to help you book your appointment.

A few minutes now could make a real difference to your health this winter.

New Community Tech Support Initiative! 🌟

Building on the successful project we launched at The Grange, where we helped older adults gain confidence with using PATCHS and NHS app, we’re excited to share the next step in supporting digital inclusion across our community!

Young volunteers from Kirklees College and the University of Huddersfield will now be providing free, friendly tech support for older people including help with smartphones, laptops, iPads and more. 📱💻

🚀 Pilot Launch:
📅 Thursday, 27th November
🕙 10:00am
📍 Kirklees College

This is the first time students from our region will be offering hands-on tech support to help older people feel confident in the digital world. From 2026, this will become a monthly service!

If you know someone who could benefit a patient, neighbour, or family member please pass this on. A great opportunity to support digital inclusion in our community. 💙
