Mask Up for a Healthier Community

Flu is circulating in our area, and we need your help to keep everyone safe. The flu vaccine works on many flu strains but not every one. By wearing a mask when you visit the practice, you’re doing something simple but powerful:

✅ Protect yourself – Reduce your chances of catching flu and stay healthy this winter.
✅ Protect others – Some patients are more vulnerable to serious illness. Your mask helps keep them safe.
✅ Protect access to care – Fewer flu cases mean more GP appointments available for everyone who needs them.

It’s a small step that makes a big difference. Together, we can keep our community healthier and make sure care is available for all.
