Diarrhoea and Vomitng Infections
Monday, 26 March 2012 20:08

Diarrhoea and vomiting are common at this time of year. Most of the time these are short lived infections (one or two days) caused by Norovirus. This can be very infectious and is the bug that can cause hospital wards to close so we try, if possible to keep patients with these infections away from hospital - including the A&E department.

These mostly settle and you can read the advice leaflet that we use. If your symptoms persist or you are getting a lot of pain then other infections may be to blame. Please call the surgery. The number is on the right side of this page.

Mental Health Courses

The Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership offer a large number of courses in Swindon covering such things as depression, anger management, bereavement and relationship breakdown. All of these are available to our patients and you can contact the course organisers directly, you don't need a referral from us. All of the courses are free of charge although small contributions to the tea and biscuits are encouraged!

Their website contains a full list of courses although they do reccomend a stress management course as a first step. We also have a counsellor working with the practice. For an appointment for the counsellor please contact the practice - details on the right side of this page.
