'Flu Vaccination Sessions

We are holding 'flu vaccination clinics on the following three Saturdays - October 1st. October 8th and October 29th. We recommend 'flu vaccinations to anyone who would be at more risk of the serious complications of 'flu than the general population. This means people over 65, those with a chronic lung or chest condition like asthma or COPD, people who have diabetes and people with heart disease.

In addition and annual nasal spray flu vaccine will be available for children aged two, three and four years old plus children in school years one and two. It is being offered to those children with a date of birth on or after September 1, 2011 and August 31, 2015. If you would like your child to get the nasal spray flu vaccine then make an appointment for one of our Saturday clinics.

If you click here you can follow a link to the page on our website where you can download our 'flu information leaflet and consent form. The 'flu vaccination clinics are being held between 8.15 and 11.30 each Saturday morning. To make an appointment you can either ring our appointments number on 01924 223909 option 1 or click here to go direct to our online appointments booking. To book an appointment via the Internet you have to be registered with SystmOne Online - to do this either ask at reception or the next practice member of staff you see for a user name and password.

The online flu appointments are in 1 minute slots but they don't mean that you will necessarily be seen at precisely that time. We are telling patients to come between 8.30 and 9.30, 10.30 and 11.30 etc etc. So if you book an appointment at 9.16 then come anytime between 8.30 and 9.30 and we will jab you!

Rules for handling confidential information

The practice handles confidential health information and we have to ensure that it is held securely and shared appropriately. A number of laws, principles and obligations govern how we should handle this information. But they have grown increasingly complicated to understand and this has sometimes made it hard for staff to make clear decisions about when they should and should not share confidential information. I am the practice and also NHS Wakefield CCG Caldicott Guardian. It is one of my jobs to ensure that we handle patient confidential information correctly. I went on an update day yesterday for Caldicott Guardian and came across 'A Guide to Confidentiality in Health and Social Care' produced by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Click here for the link. The guide has a five rules that are very clear and will help staff be clear about how they should protect information and when they can share it. It is also useful for patients because it simply and cl
