Advice on Immunisation
We strongly recommend that all children and babies be immunised against Diptheria, Tetanus, Polio, Pertussis, HIB, Men C and MMR. Thankfully, these serious illnesses are rarely seen nowadays due to the high uptake of vaccination.
Health Promotion
We encourage all our patients to share the responsibility for their health, both in preventing disease and in treating existing diseases. Prevention is always better than cure.
Many of the most serious diseases can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle and without the need for drugs. Please feel free to discuss your general health and ask for advice. Below are some of the ways you can help to live, not only longer, but also a fitter, healthier and more enjoyable life.
Smoking
This is the single largest preventable cause of ill health in the UK. It is a major cause of cancer, heart attacks, angina and chest disease. If you would like advice and help in giving up, please ask. |
