Quit smoking

The Medical Staff at the surgery are very keen to help smokers give up. Smoking is a major cause of disease and premature death which in turn leads to smokers relying more on the NHS services than non-smokers.

Anyone who has tried to give up smoking will know it is far from easy - even when the risks are understood. With this in mind Quit Smoking Clinics are running most of the time and have a high success rate. The next clinic to be run in Alresford starts on 1st September while others are available in Winchester and Basingstoke.

To register, or find out more, telephone 0845 602 4663.

Flu vaccinations 2003

Clinics will again be running in the Autumn and we encourage everyone who will be 65 or over by 31st December to take advantage of this free jab. Other patients who suffer from chronic respiratory disease, asthma, diabetes, renal disease or who have immunosuppression should also have this vaccination.
