An MUR Feedback Form will be provided to the patient’s GP where there is an issue for them to consider. An MUR is not usually conducted more than once a year.
Flu vaccination is available every year between September and March on the NHS to help protect adults and children at risk of flu and its complications. Flu can be unpleasant, but if you are otherwise healthy it will usually clear up on its own within a week. However, flu can be more severe in certain people, such as: anyone aged 65 and over, pregnant women, children, and adults with an underlying health condition (particularly long-term heart or respiratory disease), and children and adults with weakened immune systems. Anyone in these risk groups are more likely to develop potentially serious complications of flu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), so it's recommended that they have a flu vaccine every year to protect them. Flu vaccinations are also available privately for those not eligible under the NHS.
