Important Swine Flu Guidance

If you are in England and feel like you may have swine flu, visit the National Pandemic Flu Service by following the link below, or call 0800 1 513 100 (textphone – 0800 1 513 200).

People who have swine flu symptoms will be given a unique access number and told where their nearest antiviral collection point is. They should then ask a flu friend – a friend or relative who doesn’t have swine flu – to go and pick up their antivirals from their nearest antiviral collection point. The flu friend must show their own ID as well as that of the patient.

Our Coverage Area

The Practice covers Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle Heath, Gatley, Edgeley and East Didsbury. The map to the left shows an approximation of our coverage area. If you live within our boundaries, then please head over to our registration page for details on how to register with the practice.

Our doctors typically see four patients in the practice in the time it takes to do a single home visit. For this reason, we ask our patients to come to the practice if at all possible. However, we can visit you at home if your condition means you cannot attend surgery.

Please ring before 10am to arrange a visit and let us know if your condition is urgent.

There have, over the last few months, been a number of confirmed cases of measles in infants and incompletely immunised children and young adults in the North West region, including Stockport.

 In addition, outbreaks have occurred in parts of Europe including the popular holiday destinations of France, Spain and Greece.

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease, which affects mostly children. It is transmitted via droplets from the nose, mouth or throat of infected people. Initial symptoms, which usually appear 8–12 days after infection, include high fever, runny nose, bloodshot eyes, and tiny white spots on the inside of the mouth. Several days later, a rash develops, starting on the face and upper neck and gradually spreading downwards.
