Swine Flu ? Stay at Home.

If you experience a sudden fever, cough or shortness of breath or have a headache, sore throat, tiredness, aching muscles, chills, sneezing, runny nose or loss of appetite you may have swine flu. 

For most people this is a mild illness and you should start to feel better after a few days without needing to go to your GP, A&E or walk-in centre.

Help yourself and others by not spreading the virus.

The best thing you can do is stay at home, drink plenty of fluids and take over-the-counter flu remedies to help relieve the symptoms. 

It is particularly important that you talk to you doctor if you think you have swine flu and are pregnant, very young, over 65, or have long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes.

The Nurse Practitioner

The Nurse Practitioner is a registered nurse with advance training in nursing, medical science and pharmacology. She may see patients with common problems and make an assessment of their needs. She can provide treatment, arrange investigations, prescribe medicines and organise other care if needed.

Being asked to see the Nurse Practitioner as an alternative to a Doctor is in no way to down grade a patient’s condition. The NP is an integral member of a diagnosis and treatment team and vital to the smooth running of the surgery.
