FLU 2021/22 PROGRAMME UPDATE 14.9.21: If you are a parent of a 2-3 year old registered at Burwell Surgery you are invited to contact us on: 01638 741234 or via our askmyGP service to book your child's appointment for this year's child flu vaccination.
All those aged 2 and 3 years old on 31st August 2021 (date of birth on or after 1st September 2017 and on or before 31st August 2019) will be eligible.
You may have read or heard on the news that NHS England is temporarily stopping all non-urgent blood tests, and this includes bloods taken at GP surgeries as well as hospitals. The reason for this is that there is a major shortage in the supply of the vials used for blood tests.Therefore, at the present time, we will ONLY be taking clinically urgent bloods for testing. We realise this might be difficult for some of our patients. If you are expecting to be called back for a routine blood test, please do not worry, your blood tests will be completed in due course. You will not be forgotten. The surgery has been advised that NHS England is working flat out with suppliers and other stakeholders to restore normal supply and build stock levels again. We have also been advised that the issue is expected to be resolved by mid-September but it might take a while longer after that to work through to local GP practices. This pause in routine blood tests does not impact the level of care provided to you by the doctors and clinical team here at Burwell Surgery. If you do have any concerns or queries about your blood test, please do contact us via askmyGP or 01638 741234. Thank you. 3rd September 2021 |
