Refugees and migrants remain among the most vulnerable members of society and very often have a variety of health needs. One of our Trainee GPs, Dr Iram Hasan, has done an audit on Healthcare access for refugees and asylum seekers. The result of her audit is a compilation of very useful information presented as a handbook, please check it here.

We are still offering seasonal flu vaccines to any eligible patients. 

Why flu vaccination is important

Flu vaccination is important because, while flu is unpleasant for most people, it can be dangerous and even life threatening for some people, particularly those with certain health conditions.

The best time to have your flu vaccine is in the autumn or early winter before flu starts spreading. But you can get your vaccine later.

Who can have the flu vaccine?

The flu vaccine is given free on the NHS to adults who:

• are 50 and over (including those who will be 50 by 31 March 2023)
• have certain health conditions
• are pregnant
• are in long-stay residential care
• receive a carer's allowance, or are the main carer for an older or disabled person who may be at risk if you get sick
• live with someone who is more likely to get a severe infection due to a weakened immune system, such as someone living with HIV, someone who has had a transplant, or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis
