Presentation of Patient Award
Clee Medical Centre has had the recent pleasure of being able to present to our patient Mrs DAWN TAYLOR the Nabarro Medal.
This is in recognition of living with and managing Diabetes for over 50 years.
When asked the secrets to her success in managing her condition Dawn said it was a careful process, that changes every day, learnt through trial and error on some occasion, relating to what she has eaten. However Dawn has never let her condition stop her from doing what she wishes.
Dawn said she felt supported in her care by the surgery and would like to support the practice in helping other patients manage their condition.

Thrive - social prescribing:
Self Care Commissioning Statement Prescribing of medicines available to purchase over the counter for self-care
Clinical Commissioning Groups within NHS Humber, Coast and Vale Integrated Care System (ICS) do not routinely support the prescribing of medicines and treatments for self-limiting and minor health conditions where: - Self-care is the most appropriate route
- Medicines and treatments are available to buy over the counter
|
All prescribers within, Humber, Coast and Vale including non-medical prescribers, GPs, extended hours, urgent care and A&E departments, should offer education and advice to support self-care when appropriate and not routinely prescribe readily available over the counter (OTC) medicines. This guidance does not remove the clinical discretion of the prescriber in accordance with their professional duties.
Community pharmacists should support this approach and not routinely advise patients to request their GP to prescribe OTC medicines available for self-limiting conditions and minor health conditions where these are available to purchase.
Some of these groups are more at risk of developing potentially serious complications of flu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection).
Others are more at risk of passing flu on to vulnerable people should they catch the virus.
SEPSIS is a rare but serious complication of an infection.
Without quick treatment, sepsis can lead to multiple organ failure and death.

What is the Herbert Protocol?
The Herbert Protocol is a national scheme which encourages carers and families to record vital information on a form which could be used in the event of a vulnerable person going missing.
The protocol was introduced by West Yorkshire Police and named after George Herbert, a war veteran of the Normandy landings, who lived with dementia.
So far 55 people with dementia have gone missing in Lincolnshire since January 2017, out of a total of 411. This is 13%.
