Even though levels of influenza caused by the H1N1 virus are currently low, it is still very important that those patients in the 'at risk' groups are still vaccinated. Vaccination gives higher immunity and better protection. >

Vaccine is still available for patients from all eligble groups who have not come forward yet. (These patients are over 6 months of age in the at risk category already specified & pregnant women)

H1N1 Information (Swine Flu) (updated 23/07/09)

Patients who have flu like symptoms are asked NOT to come to the surgery.
There is now a new National Flu Service Telephone Line for ADVICE for patients who think they may have Swine Flu.
National Flu Service - 0800 1 513 100
A national flu service website has been set up -www.direct.gov.uk/pandemicflu
The aim is to relieve the workload from the GPs and to have a central dispensing service for antivirals.
Patients should call this number rather than their GP.
The National Flu Service will assess each case and decide if antivirals are necessary.
If antivirals are prescribed they must be collected from an Antiviral Collection Point.
The antiviral collection point for patients of Arden Medical Centre is Central Libary, Touchwood in Solihull
This collection point is open 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am - 5pm on Saturdays.
For patients who have difficulty accessing the National Flu Service, they are advised to contact their GP. Please call the surgery and the receptionist will arrange a telephone consultation with your doctor.
For general information on Swine Flu, please call 0800 1 513 513
