Chair's Communications
Minutes:
13.1 The Chair have the following communications:
I’d like to welcome everyone to the HOSC. At the July HOSC meeting we had a presentation from NHS England on their plans to make changes to children’s cancer services in the South East. These plans are now out for public consultation, and I’ve asked for an update report on how the consultation went to come to our next meeting in January 2024.
Winter vaccinations
I’d encourage everyone eligible for an autumn COVID vaccination or a free flu jab to get them as soon as possible so you have the best possible protection against serious illness this winter.
Anyone eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination can book on the NHS website, through the NHS app or by calling 119. Appointments are available in pharmacies or other venues including the Brighton Centre, Brighton Racecourse and Mile Oak Medical Centre. Walk in sessions are also available at Hove Tesco on Wednesdays, Hove Polyclinic on Thursdays or St Peter’s Church on Fridays.
Adults eligible for a free flu jab can book an appointment with your GP or at a pharmacy.
Younger children will be invited by their GP and school-aged children will be offered this through their schools.
