Flu Vaccine
Our Flu Vaccine campaign is under way. If you are over 65 years of age or are suffering a chronic condition such as diabetes you should have received a letter from us inviting you to attend one of our clinics. Clinics will run during the week beginning Monday 6 October from 8.30 – 5.30pm. No appointment necessary.
Text message reminders
We have set up a new service for patients whereby we can send you a text message to remind you of your appointment. In order for us to do so we need your mobile number. Simply text us your surname, initial and date of birth (dd/mm/year) to 07800 000513) and we will add your number to our list.
Free Air Pollution Alert Service
If you have a health condition like asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, heart disease and angina you might be interested in a new pollution alert service. Simply register at www.airtext.info and you will receive a text message whenever high pollution day is expected. The service is supported by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
