🦠 Stay Safe This Flu Season – Protect Yourself and Others

Flu spreads easily, especially in crowded places, and can be serious for vulnerable people. You can help stop the spread by following these simple steps:

1. Get vaccinated if you are eligible 💉

The flu vaccine is the most effective way to protect yourself and those around you, especially older adults, people with long-term health conditions, pregnant women, and young children.

2. Practice good hygiene 🧼

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer if soap isn’t available. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of tissues immediately.

3. Stay home if you’re unwell 🏠

If you have flu-like symptoms, avoid contact with others. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take care of yourself. If you need to attend the surgery while feeling unwell, please wear a mask.

Together, these steps reduce the spread of flu and help protect the most vulnerable members of our community.

IMPORTANT NOTICE 🚨

We are currently experiencing temporary issues with the power in the Windrush Medical Practice. As a result, we have reduced lighting and no phone line capacity. This has happened twice this morning and has resolved but we are cautious that this may happen again due to the weather.
