Falkland Surgery is dedicated to providing the best possible care to our patients and community. We are keen to receive feedback on how we can continue to improve.
Snow disruption 7/1/2010
Firstly we would like to thank all our patients for the tolerance they have shown during the snow periods we are experiencing. As of 7/1/2010 we are running an emergency service only, but please be aware we will do our best to provide extra surgeries once the snow subsides to cope with the demand that is likely to occur as a result of cancelled surgeries and patients "hanging on". Please bear with us during this difficult time.
Swine flu update 1/1/2010
Falkland Surgery now has a reasonable supply of swine flu vaccinations jabs, and can offer this to any of the at risk group. These are patients with heart disease, lung disease (COPD and asthma), diabetes, long term neurological and kidney disease and also children 6months to 5 yrs old. Please ring to book your Swine flu jab (different to the seasonal flu) the reception team can check to see if you are eligible.
Seasonal Flu
Falkland surgery have now got first deliveries for the seasonal flu vaccination. Please ring for a flu clinic appointment, clinics are being run as normal. We are particularly keen to offer jabs to those patients with chornic health problems like diabetes, heart disease asthma and COPD
