Flu spreads easily in winter. Every year, thousands of older adults need hospital care for flu. It’s important to have your vaccination every year to reduce your risk as protection fades over time and viruses change. Please contact us to book your appointment, or to let us know if you do not wish to have the vaccine so that we can stop sending you invites.

This Remembrance Day, we encourage all GP practices to become Veteran Friendly Accredited to
support veterans who may be silently struggling with their mental or physical health at this
potentially challenging time.

Research by the Royal College of GPs involving 5,000 veterans found that, although more than half
(55%) have experienced health issues potentially related to their service, one in seven (14%) have
not sought help from a healthcare professional.

However, nearly two-thirds of veterans said they would be more likely to seek help if they knew
their practice was Veteran Friendly Accredited. Having taken the quick and easy step to become
accredited ourselves, we have seen first-hand the difference it can make.

The free training and resources provided through the scheme have made it easier for us to identify, understand and support veterans and, where appropriate, refer them to specialist services designed specifically for them. Not only has the programme helped us to improve outcomes for our veteran patients, but it has also helped to save time and reduce repeat appointments.

It takes just 20 minutes to sign up, and more than 4,400 practices have already joined the scheme. A University of Chester evaluation found that 99% of practices recommended it.

Be a champion for veterans and their families this Remembrance Day – get your practice Veteran Friendly Accredited. Sign up for free here: rcgp.org.uk/veterans
