Measles: If you think you or your child has measles and are not in an urgent, life-threatening condition, please call NHS 111 or your GP for advice. Please refrain from visiting a healthcare setting unless it is necessary or advised, as measles is a highly contagious infection that can cause serious health problems for some people. A patient information leaflet is available here. Further information and guidance is available here.
Elmwood Medical Centre's patient newsletter is available to view here. Please take a few minutes to read the newsletter, which includes practice specific information and a welcome from Dr Anwer, GP. If you have any feedback or queries, please do get in touch via this link, telphone or in person at the practice.
Patients are encouraged to make sure the practice holds the correct contact details, including telephone number and email address, as there may be circumstances whereby there is a short turn-around time to invite patients for a vaccine.
Thank you for your co-operation and patience.
Please be aware, the Macmillan support line (0808 808 00 00) is open from 8am to 8pm seven-days-a-week, for general information, emotional or financial support.

Did you know:
Spotting cancer early increases the chances of survival.
Diagnosing cancer before it has the chance to spread too far means that treatment is more likely to be successful.
You know your body best so speak to your doctor if something doesn’t seem right.
National screening programmes can help diagnose cancers at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Cancer screening is for those without symptoms, so if you’ve noticed a change, please don’t wait for screening – tell your doctor as soon as possible.
Whatever cancer throws your way, Macmillan is right there with you.
