📣 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 – 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗦𝗟

We’re delighted to now offer improved communication for deaf and hearing-impaired patients through 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗦𝗟, the national BSL video interpreting service.

Patients can download the new app and connect with a BSL interpreter who will call our practice on their behalf and relay the conversation.

If we need to contact the patient, we call a dedicated number that links us to an interpreter who will reach the patient by SMS or email. The patient must be signed up with us to use this feature as we provide their phone or email details to the interpreter.

This helps us make our service more accessible for everyone.

We’ve published new data today which provides clear evidence that this year’s vaccine is doing a good job of preventing severe flu disease. So far this winter:

💉 Vaccinated children are 78% less likely to be admitted to hospital with flu.
💉 Vaccinated adults aged 65+ are 37% less likely to be hospitalised.

With flu activity at high levels, it’s not too late for eligible people to get protected before the festive season.

🌈 Interoceptive (Internal Body Awareness) Sensory Strategies!

Here are some activity ideas to help your baby/infant begin tuning into their internal body signals — like hunger, tiredness, comfort, and the need for movement or connection.

The interoceptive system helps babies understand what’s happening inside their bodies. It supports early self-awareness and lays the foundation for self-regulation — helping your little one recognise and respond to their needs (like when they’re hungry, sleepy, or need a cuddle)💕 When nurtured, this sense promotes calm, comfort, and connection between babies and caregivers 🤱✨

It's respiratory illness season! Please help us to keep our patients and staff safe.

👬If you are coming into hospital for an appointment or attending the Emergency Department please try to come with only one other person.

👏Wash your hands regularly or use the hand gel provided at hospital entrances and in each ward and clinic area.

🤧If you have flu-like symptoms, however minor, do not visit people in hospital.
