We recently reached out to several of the local Primary Schools to ask if they would be interesting in decorating some canvasses to help brighten up the areas used by ours, and Drs Adey and Dancy's staff in our Tarporley Surgery. 

We received an extremely positive response, and today we collected the first set of canvasses from Tarvin Primary School. They were presented to us by the Year 3 Teacher Mr Peers and the children, who had all had a hand in designing and decorating. 

The artwork the children have produced is absolutely fabulous, and we were delighted to see the effort and care that they've taken in producing such fine work.

From 1st September 2024, those who turn 75 and those aged 75 to 79 will be eligible for a free vaccine to protect them from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

RSV is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold including:

• cough
• sore throat
• sneezing
• a runny or blocked nose

It can also make you become wheezy or short of breath and lead to pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions. There is no specific treatment, and most infections will get better by themselves. Each year thousands of older adults need hospital care for RSV, and some of them will die. RSV can be more severe in people with medical conditions such as heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system. 

RSV infection is common in young children but is most serious for small babies and for older people. For more information please visit the NHS Website RSV vaccine - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

How to get the RSV Vaccine - The Surgery will contact you when you are due your vaccine.
