COVID Vaccine Availability

Mike Hewitson from Beaminster pharmacy has just released the following information:

“I have just uploaded another 500 appointments for an additional clinic next Thursday. You can book these via 119 or nhs.uk website.

Our team of vaccinators and volunteers are giving up their precious time before Christmas so that you can enjoy yours, I respectfully ask that if you book one of these appointments you don’t try and get a walk-in vaccination elsewhere. We saw approximately 60 of today’s appointments didn’t turn up (which allowed us to provide some walk-in availability).

Thanks,

Mike & Team”

Thank you & your marvellous team Mike!

Covid Booster Clinic At Beaminster Public Hall – Saturday, 13th November

There will be an extra Covid Booster Clinic in Beaminster Public Hall on Saturday, 13th November. 12.30pm – 5pm.

This will be a walk in clinic only, no appointments necessary. You just need to:

have had your 2nd dose at least 6 months ago
be aged 50 and over. be aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts you at high risk from COVID-19 and the NHS has invited you to book
be a frontline health or social care worker

Please note, this is at the Public Hall and not Barton House surgery.

We will take as many patients as capacity and vaccine availability allow, but I need people to be patient. You will need to wait, and potentially to be prepared to come back on a different day if necessary. My team have kindly agreed to give up their Saturday to try and help get people their jab, and we will try our best to help you but we can’t vaccinate West Dorset in one day! Please be patient and respectful, or we will have to revert to booked appointments only in future.

One final point, please don’t turn up to the Town Hall on a day when we are not operating as the Town Council will not be able to help you!

My Autism My Way – Survey For Young People With Autism In Dorset

Helping children and young people with autism have a voice in the design of services in Dorset

Part of the All Age Autism review

The NHS, councils and voluntary sector are currently working together to improve the way autistic people in Dorset are helped to live their lives. They would like autistic children and young people to have the chance to help us design how autism services might look for them.

Please see their online survey My Autism, My Way HERE , to capture views on what young people with autism think about our ideas so far, as well any other ideas and thoughts.

The survey is aimed at young people up to the age of 25 and has videos explaining each question, and can be done as a group or on an individual basis. Parents & Carers may also complete the forms.

If you are under 16, please ask an adult to complete these questions with you.

Answers are anonymous.

If you would like to find out more about this work, please visit their webpage HERE for more information, or please contact them at communications@dorsetccg.nhs.uk.

The survey will close midday Tuesday 7 September 2021.

Please help by sharing this as widely as possible, with relevant groups, colleagues and friends.

Thank you for your help in promoting this important piece of work.

Support Your Surgery Campaign – Please Share

Launched by the British Medical Association (BMA), a petition calling on the UK Government to provide the urgent resourcing needed to increase the number of GPs in England.

GPs and their teams have faced an extremely challenging time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions have meant that face-to-face contact with patients has been limited in order to keep practice staff and patients safe.

The Support Your Surgery campaign provides GP practices with the tools to both manage expectations and to provide patients with the reality of issues facing general practice.

With the number of GPs falling (due to lack of recruitment and retention) whilst the population rises, demands on GPs are higher than ever. There are millions of patients whose treatment has been delayed due to the pandemic, more tests to administer and additional bureaucracy. GP workload is becoming unmanageable.

GPs and their teams cannot meet this challenge without more support. In signing the petition, the BMA are calling on the UK Government to provide the funding and commitment needed to urgently increase the number of GPs, practice nurses and other practice staff and to improve the premises in which they work. This will help GP practices in England to meet the growing needs of people in our communities, providing the care we and our families need.

Please sign the petition HERE.

Thank you.

Your Christmas Bubble

Dorset will remain in Tier 2 – High Alert. The rules for Christmas Day 2020 are different.

It is vital that we each take personal responsibility this Christmas to limit the spread of the virus and protect our loved ones, particularly if they are vulnerable.

One in three people with Coronavirus (COVID-19) have no symptoms and will be spreading it without realising it. So the safest way to celebrate Christmas this year is with your household or existing support bubble in your home. The more people you see, the more likely it is that you will catch or spread Coronavirus.

Living in Dorset, you may see a maximum of two other households (your ‘Christmas bubble’) on Christmas Day (25 December). You cannot see anyone from a Tier 4 area. You should think very carefully about the risks and only form a Christmas bubble if you feel you absolutely need to. Wherever possible, discuss alternatives to meeting up in person.

The rules below are law for December 25th and taken from the Government’s website:

You can only form a Christmas bubble if you do not live in a Tier 4 area. If you are permitted to form a Christmas bubble and choose to do so:

keep your Christmas bubble as small as possible. Two other households is a maximum, not a target
do not join a Christmas bubble with anyone from a Tier 4 area
stop all unnecessary social contact outside your immediate household as soon as possible and for at least five days before you meet other households in your bubble
only meet your Christmas bubble in private homes or in your garden, places of worship, or public outdoor spaces
only see your bubble on Christmas Day. Do not stay overnight and keep your visits as short as possible
stay local where possible. Avoid travelling from a high prevalence to a low prevalence area
if you are meeting someone who is not in your Christmas or support bubble, you can only do so outside your home or garden and in accordance with the rules in your tier (either the tier you live in, or the tier you are meeting in – whichever is stricter)

When seeing your Christmas bubble, you should keep taking steps to reduce the spread of the virus. This includes:

meeting outdoors where possible
ensuring indoor spaces get as much fresh air as possible
making space between members of different households wherever you can
washing your hands regularly and for 20 seconds
following rules on self-isolation if you develop symptoms or test positive for coronavirus.

You should not visit another household if you, or anyone in your household, is self-isolating. You should get a free NHS test if you have symptoms, have been asked to by your local council or your hospital, or are taking part in a government pilot project.

Download the NHS COVID-19 App

The new NHS COVID-19 app, is now available to download for free in England and Wales.

The Government say that this will be the fastest way to see if you’re at risk from coronavirus. The faster you know, the quicker you can alert and protect your loved ones and community.
The app has a number of tools to protect you, including contact tracing, local area alerts and venue check-in. It uses proven technology from Apple and Google, designed to protect every user’s privacy.
