The current influenze pandemic (commonly known as swine flu)in countries around the world have been caused by a new version (strain) of the virus as Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 by World Health Organization (WHO). Transmission of this new virus is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal flu. The infection can be effectively treated with antiviral medication. Most reported cases in the UK have been mild and people have recovered fully after treatment. The UK has moved to a treatment phase to manage the current flu pandemic since 02 July 2009. As a result GPs are diagnosing cases on the basis of clinical observation rather than laboratory testing. Everyone who has flu-like symptoms will be assessed by a doctor and if diagnosed with swine flu should be offered an antiviral medicine to manage their illness. KEY MESSAGES If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu: Check your symptoms using the NHS Direct symptom checker or call the Swine Flu information line on 0800 151 3100 If you are still concerned, STAY AT HOME* and book a telephone consultation with your GP who can provide a diagnosis. *If swine flu is diagnosed, your GP may recommend you take a course of antiviral medication. This should be collected for you by a healthy friend or relative from a collection point advised by your GP. HEALTH PROTECTION ADVICE General hygiene can help to reduce transmission of all viruses, including the swine flu virus. This includes: Covering your nose & mouth when coughing or sneezing, using a tissue when possible Disposing of dirty tissues promptly & carefully Maintaining good basic hygiene, for example washing hands frequently with soap & water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to your face or to other people Cleaning hard surfaces (such as door handles) frequently using a normal cleaning product. ********************************************************* WELCOME We would like you all to welcome our new Practice Nurse Sister Susan Iannaccone ____________________________________________________________ OUR PRACTICE BOUNDARIES ____________________________________________________________ THIS WEBSITE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR PATIENTS OF THIS PRACTICE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PERSONAL GP ADVICE ____________________________________________________________ We are situated in Bury town centre next to Bury College and opposite the bus Interchange You can locate the health centre using THIS MAP ____________________________________________________________ THE NHS CARE RECORDS SERVICE (NCRS)** Peel GPs are taking part in Bury PCT's early adopter programme For further information, supporting documentation and leaflets available in different languages please visit: BURY NHS TRUST - SUMMARY CARE RECORD
