IMPORTANT ALERT - MEASLES OUTBREAK
We have been notified by Public Health England that there is an ongoing measles outbreak in this area, amongst others. We urge anyone that hasn't previously had the MMR vaccine to consider having it.

Stay Well Pharmacy Scheme launched by NHS England:
Your local Pharmacy should be your first port of call for minor illnesses. It is estimated that around 18 million GP appointments and 2.1 million visits to A&E are for minor, self-treatable conditions such as coughs and stomach troubles, costing the NHS more than £850 million each year. Please leave your GP and local A&E services for those patients' that are sickest and really need them; start to visit your local Pharmacy for advice and support from qualified healthcare staff who will can easily re-direct you to more appropriate services if they feel it's necessary.
Our NHS is in a critical condition - please help us to make it better!
EPS - Electronic Prescribing Service
Leander Family Practice offers an Electronic Prescribing Service (EPS), a free NHS Service. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from. If you use a regular chemist/pharmacy for your medications your prescription can be sent electronically from the GP surgery to your nominated chemist/pharmacy. For more information please speak to your pharmacy about EPS now or go to www.hscis.gov.uk/eps. To nominate a pharamcy please look under our repeat prescription tab.

We are delighted to inform our patients about the Pharmacy Minor Ailments scheme which offers access to medicines, often free of charge, health advice and treatment from their local pharmacy without requiring prescriptions or vouchers. For further information, click our Pharmacy First tab.
