It is recommended for anyone in following groups to get vaccinated against Swine flu (the H1N1 influenza virus).

a. Individuals aged six months and up to 65 years in the current seasonal flu vaccine clinical at risk groups (i.e. if you are already recommended to receive the seasonal flu vaccine because of underlying health conditions such as Diabetes, Heart/Kidney/Liver Disease or other underlying health conditions)

b. Pregnant women

c. Household contacts of immuno-compromised individuals. This covers all household contacts of patients who have a condition or are taking medication that would make them more prone to developing swine flu and experiencing complications due to a lower level of immunity.

GP Direct launches extended opening hours

GP Direct appreciates the changing needs of its patients and is consistently striving to provide the best quality of care and as a direct result of the suggestions and views made by you, we have great pleasure in announcing the launch of GP Directs extended opening hours from 1st October 2008.

In conjunction with our current late evening Commuter Clinic already running on a Wednesday, we will be having two additional clinics running on a Monday evening and also a 3 hour session on Saturday morning, additionally we will also be increasing the number of appointments on Wednesday evening.

These sessions will take place at Welbeck Road and will be made up of bookable appointments available in advance and on the same day like our existing appointments. The weekday clinics will run until 8pm on Monday and 8.30pm on Wednesday and the Saturday morning clinic will run between 9am and 12noon.

GP Direct is responding to the changing needs of general practice and sees the extension of our opening hours as a paramount factor in improving the level and quality of service in todays NHS. We hope that the new system will help in providing our patients with the level of care that they deserve.
