Burwell Surgery News
Child Health Clinic
The Child and Family team has made an alteration to the Child Health Clinic which is held in the waiting room on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Since it is a popular clinic and, in order to ensure that every mother is able to have their baby weighed and have time with the Health Visitor, if necessary, they have decided to hold the clinic earlier in the afternoon from 1.00 pm to 2.45 pm as of January 2008. Your co-operation by keeping to these times will be much appreciated.
Flu Vaccinations
There are still plenty of flu jabs available. It is recommended that patients with any of the following conditions: heart disease, diabetes, asthma, chronic renal or liver disease or immunosuppression, any patients who are aged 65 years or over and any patients who are carers should have a flu vaccination. Please contact the surgery for an appointment.

The prescription phone line tends to be extremely busy on Monday mornings. Please could patients ring later in the day, if possible. Alternatively, you may deliver, post, fax or order repeat prescriptions over the internet. Our fax number is 01638 743948. If you would more information about using the internet or would like a registration form for this service, please ask at reception.
