Dear Editor,

The annual flu immunisation for Alton Street surgery patients will commence with our usual session at the Ryefield centre on October 8th at 9am.

Those eligible will be invited to attend by letter and this will contain a unique reference number to help register patients attending in a more efficient manner.

As with previous occasions, the Patient Participation group will be in attendance to welcome patients to the session, which has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Once again we will have various community support groups, Friends of Ross Hospital, Herefordshire Carers, WRVs etc and I know they value the opportunity the morning gives them to engage with the patients from the surgery.

Should October 8th be unsuitable, then alternative appointments can be arranged by contacting the surgery directly after the session at the Ryefield centre.

Diane Lancaster

Chair of Patient Participation Group
