Winter Virus Update

We are currently seeing a significant increase in cases of seasonal winter viruses, including Influenza A, particularly among children and younger adults.

Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Most viral illnesses can be safely managed at home with rest, fluids, and simple pain relief. Please seek urgent medical advice if symptoms are severe, worsening, or if you or your child fall into a higher-risk group.

Helpful information and guidance:

To help reduce the spread of infection, we encourage regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and avoiding close contact with others when unwell.

Mearns Medical Centre is pleased to announce a new phlebotomy service, whereby patients can have their bloods taken in their own time with no appointment necessary.

It is available to access Monday to Friday from 8:30am-1pm; and 1:45pm to 4pm. Please note that the latest time patients can present to the service is 3:45pm to allow outstanding patients to be seen before the end of the day.
