Launch of Women's Health Survey

Dear Patients,

Women across Derby and Derbyshire are being asked to give their views and help contribute towards improved health services.

Joined Up Care Derbyshire is working in partnership with Community Action Derby and Link CVS to learn more about women’s health. They want to know:

  • What women know about women’s health issues.
  • Women's experiences with health services around women's health.
  • How women prefer to access health services and get information.
  • How women prefer to communicate about their health issues and available health services.

The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete. Feedback from the survey will be collated in to a report that will help us understand how to improve services. 

You can learn more about the project, and complete the survey on our Engagement Platform.

RSV

RSV Vaccinations

Dear Patients, 

From the 1st September Village Surgery will be commencing RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) Vaccinations for all eligible patients.

Eligible Cohorts

There are different vaccinations for each cohort so clinics should be booked separately.

Programme for older adults aged 75 to 79 years old –

All adults turning 75 years old on or after 1 September 2024 will be eligible for the routine programme and should be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine. A one-off catch-up campaign for those already aged 75 to 79 years old on 1 September 2024 will be undertaken at the earliest opportunity.

Programme for pregnant women to protect infants –

All women who are at least 28 weeks pregnant (the eligible cohort) on 1 September 2024, will be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine. After that, pregnant women will become eligible as they reach 28 weeks gestation and remain eligible up to birth.

 

We will be inviting eligible patients over the next few months and book you into our RSV clinics.
