It's not unusual to overindulge at Christmas, but make sure you're prepared! The NHS website has advice on avoiding heartburn and what to do if you get it. Head to your local pharmacy to stock up on antacids or alginates.

There is a lot of flu, Covid and winter bugs around.

If you have symptoms of these, please wear a mask if you come in to the surgery.

That reduces the risk of passing on to other patients, some who may be vulnerable to complications, as well as ensures our team stays healthy.

Thank you for your help.

If you are eligible for a flu vaccination and have not yet had one, please contact the practice to book your appointment, as we still have a limited supply of vaccines.

It takes up to two weeks for the flu vaccine to become fully effective, so get it done today to protect yourself and others this Christmas. https://nhssomerset.nhs.uk/my-health/staying-well/flu-vaccination/
