Flu vaccine- get yours now!

Winter always brings with it the risk of flu and I would like to encourage anyone who falls into one of the vulnerable groups to make sure you get a flu vaccination. I have the vaccination every year as I lost my spleen in a riding accident and so am immuno compromised, but if you are aged over 65, a pregnant woman or have an underlying health condition such as heart or respiratory disease or a weakened immune system, please do arrange with your GP surgery to get the flu jab sooner rather than later. Children aged 2 and 3 and in Reception and Years 1-5 are also recommended to get the flu jab.

The NHS has more information about the flu jab, and you can find out more here. It really could be a lifesaver!

Row, row, row your boat...

It was good to meet some of the Team Tyne Innovation crew who are preparing to row the Atlantic as part of the 3000 mile Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the world's toughest rowing race. We met in Wylam where I was shown their boat, which is neither big nor comfy for such an epic adventure. My thanks to the many local sponsors who are helping to make this incredible adventure a reality. If you want to support them and find out more see here:
