We are currently receiving a large number of requests for appointments from patients with cold and flu-like symptoms. We would ask all patients to look at self-care advise in the first instance and be mindful that the symptoms of a viral illness can last between 10-14 days and longer. Please see the NHS website link for further information about how to look after yourself when you have cold or flu-like symptoms: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu/
Parents can look at the Little Orange Book for advice about how to look after a poorly child:

If you are eligible for the flu vaccine and have not yet had it please contact reception on 01706 664130 to book an appointment.
Thank you for your co-operation
