A new UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) study shows that when pregnant women receive the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine at least two weeks before giving birth, it can reduce the risk of their newborn being hospitalised with RSV by around 80% or more.
The NHS has created a set of step-by-step videos to help people navigate the NHS app and use its different features. Videos include: booking and managing appointments; ordering repeat prescriptions; viewing your GP health record and test results; contacting your GP surgery; using NHS 111 online; managing notifications and messages.
Community pharmacies offer a range of NHS services, including advice on conditions such as aches, pains, coughs, colds, sore throats and ear infections; emergency contraception; and advice on how to use your medicines.
From 1 April 2026 the eligibility criteria for the NHS respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination programme changed to include all adults aged 75 years and over. Please contact the surgery to book your appointment.
