FLU VACCINATION PLANS 2020

Cantilupe Surgery is aware of the announcement today by the Department for Health and Social Care that anyone aged 50-64 has now been added to the eligible cohorts for this year's flu vaccine. We are now working to order additional vaccine supply and plan for more flu clinics in December. We ask that patients refrain from ringing the practice with inquiries on this and we will communicate the new arrangements for flu clinics in the near future.'

This year, due to covid restrictions, we will be holding BOOKED flu clinics only. We need to ensure our patients safety and ensure we vaccinate the most at risk first.

These will be held at BARTESTREE VILLAGE HALL. All eligible patients will be called during October and November, depending on delivery of vaccines. Clinics will be on Saturdays and you will receive an invitation by letter with a booked slot time to attend.

Please bear with us!! This is a challenging time for us all. We WILL write to you if you are entitled to a flu vaccination (over 65 or under 65 with a chronic illness)

Children aged 2 and 3 and patients who are pregnant will be called separately to these clinics as we receive vaccines.

See our Facebook page Visit us on Facebook for up to date information.

WE ARE OPEN !!

Please telephone us at either surgery. The Doctors and Nurses are seeing patients when clinically necessary but they will speak to all patients on the phone first, to assess you.

PLEASE NOTE ALL CALLS TO THE SURGERY ARE RECORDED FOR TRAINING AND AUDIT PURPOSE

IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT -

Cantilupe Surgery would like to clarify that our doors have been open to our patients throughout the pandemic and our staff have never worked harder.

We have made huge system changes to follow ever changing advice from NHSE over the last 6 months with the aim of keeping patients and staff safe.

Following national guidance from NHSE we telephone triage all GP appointments but when clinically appropriate and safe we see patients face to face and have been doing so throughout the pandemic.

The waiting room can now safely only have a certain number of patients in due to social distancing. Staff must change PPE and clean rooms between all patient contacts. We can not safely return to the previous system without putting people at risk.

We have worked collaboratively with other local practices to develop and staff a covid hub to see patients with a temperature or potential Covid face to face.

We are continually sourcing PPE and extra equipment to keep staff and patients safe.

We reviewed an ever changing list of shielding patients, giving advice and support as needed.

We provide palliative care home visits to the dying, mental health support to those in distress and see face to face those who need examining. All while dealing with unprecedented amounts of phone advice, prescriptions, investigation results, hospital letters and work being passed back to us from secondary care.

Staff have been covering shielding colleagues and with the current inadequate national testing capacity are also covering self isolating colleagues.

We are dismayed by the media reports on general practice and would welcome our patients ongoing support in providing the best service we can within the constraints we face.
