Stop smoking team turns
October into Stoptober
Doncaster mums and dads who have successfully
stubbed out cigarettes for good with the help of the
Trust’s Stop Smoking in Pregnancy and Beyond Team
are encouraging others to follow their healthy lifestyle.
They supported the team’s ‘make October Stoptober’ campaign
by sharing their own stories of how much better they are feeling
after saying goodbye to nicotine.
Mums like Kayleigh Strawbridge, 29, from Hatfield, who said:
“I started smoking when I was 13 but decided I needed to pack
in when I was pregnant with my third child. I stopped with the
help of nicotine patches, which the health promotion practitioner
from the team organised for me, and Prince arrived a bouncing

“I feel better and, with cigarettes costing up to £9 for 20, there’s
more money to spend on Prince and my other two - Presley, 5,
and Poppy, 3. I’m glad I set a quit date and stuck to it.”
New arrival Lily Wilson is a true Stoptober baby. Weighing in at
6lbs 3oz, she was born on 1 October this year to mum Louise
Armstrong, 29, and dad James Wilson, 30, from Mexborough,
who set the same quit dates and supported each other to say
good riddance to nicotine.
Louise, who started smoking as a school age teenager, said
saying goodbye to cigarettes wasn’t as hard as she thought
it would be, adding that the patches, gum and telephone
support arranged by the stop smoking team’s health promotion
practitioner really helped.
“It took about 12 weeks to stop and I can really feel the health
benefits now. I used to cough every time I lit a cigarette and

Thousands of school children to be offered flu
vaccination
Around 57,000 school children across Doncaster, North Lincolnshire and Bassetlaw will be offered a
free vaccination this winter in school or community clinics in a bid to reduce the incidence of flu in our
communities.
The National Healthy Child Flu Vaccination programme is now in its sixth year and the vaccine is being offered to all
children from reception to Year 7. Evidence indicates that the flu vaccine has been effective at reducing flu within these age
groups, which then reduces the spread of infection across the community.
Parents are once again being urged to take up the offer of protecting their child.
The vaccinations, which are given via a nasal spray, will be carried out by nurses have just started (October).
Sarah Thompson, RDaSH’s vaccination team clinical lead said: “Flu is often a very unpleasant illness in children and some
can develop serious complications. The nasal spray is painless and easy for children to have. It is proving
to be very effective at reducing the incidence of flu in our community. By offering the flu vaccination
to as many children as possible, we help to protect both children and their families in time for winter.
It is particularly important this year with COVID-19 still circulating as people who are most at risk
from flu infection are also at higher risk of complications from COVID-19.”
Any parents or guardians wanting further information about the flu immunisation programme for
children in these areas should contact the team on 01302 566776.

Did you know?
On average, flu kills over 11,000 people each year – some years this
number is much higher – and it hospitalises many more. This is
anything but a typical year due to the potential impact of flu and
COVID-19 circulating at the same time. It’s now more important
than ever that we act to protect ourselves, our teams, our families
and patients from getting flu.
Please take up the offer of free vaccination against flu as soon as
possible; and to remind your patients to get their vaccine.
The flu virus spreads from person-to-person, even among those not
showing any symptoms. Healthcare workers are at an increased risk
of contracting flu and it’s very easy to pass on the virus without knowing.
Even if we’re healthy, we can still get flu and pass it on to the people
we care for, our colleagues and to our family.
As we all know, flu can have serious and even fatal consequences,
especially for our most vulnerable patients, such as young children,
pregnant women and the elderly.
Therefore, vaccination of healthcare workers is a critical part of the
NHS’ flu prevention strategy. Flu-related staff sickness absence can
also significantly affect your ability to deliver the services safely that
patients need and value. In fact, research suggests that a 10% increase
in NHS staff vaccination reduces healthcare worker sickness absence 10%
increase in NHS staff
by about 10%. vaccinations
The flu vaccine is the best defence we have against the spread of flu.
An NHS survey found that patients feel safer, and are more likely to

It is vital we do all we can right now to reassure patients the NHS is
here for them, and that we’re ready to see them safely.
We all have a shared professional responsibility to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients this winter.
So, let’s all do our bit and take this important step

Flu is just a heavy cold
Flu and colds are different. Firstly, the flu usually lasts longer and causes more severe symptoms, even worse than a heavy
cold. Secondly, the flu is caused by one of three viruses called influenza A, B or C. In contrast, colds are caused by up to
200 different viruses with the most common being rhinoviruses. Lastly, while there’s no vaccination against colds, the flu
vaccination is very effective.
Influenza is not dangerous
For the majority of people flu is an unpleasant illness but it can result in chest infections, pneumonia,
severe complications and death. Globally seasonal influenza accounts for 3 to 5 million cases of
severe illness each year and 250,000 to 500,000 deaths (WHO 2014).
I am fit and healthy so I don’t need the vaccination
Healthy people can develop severe complications as a consequence of flu. It is possible to carry and pass the virus onto
others without having any symptoms.
Flu is only caught from coughs and sneezes
In addition to coughs and sneezes, colds and flu are caught through hand contact. Items such as
equipment and hard surfaces can easily become contaminated. The virus can then be passed on
through direct or indirect contact with these items. Regularly decontaminating your hands will help
to stop the spread of infection.
Flu can be treated with antibiotics
Antibiotics only fight bacteria. Unfortunately there’s no equivalent medication for cold and flu viruses. The only
medications that may help simply treat the symptoms of colds or flu. For example, antivirals can shorten the duration of
flu, paracetamol can reduce fever or decongestants may help a runny nose.
The infection control practices at my workplace are sufficient
Although good infection prevention and control practices are encouraged they alone will not
be sufficient to prevent influenza infection.
I had the vaccination last year so don’t need it again
The vaccine for seasonal flu can change each year, to help protect against circulating strains of the virus. This means
that the vaccine administered last year might not protect against flu this year. The vaccine is also time limited so annual
vaccination is recommended.

Flu – coronavirus (COVID-19) Q&As
Does the flu vaccine make children more susceptible to coronaviruses?
There is no immunological reason or evidence to suggest that giving children
the flu vaccine will make them more susceptible to coronaviruses.
The children's flu vaccine is safe and effective. It is offered every year as a nasal spray
to children to help protect them against flu, which can be a very unpleasant illness and
an lead to serious problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. In addition, children
spread flu easily. Vaccinating them also protects others who are more vulnerable to flu
and COVID-19, such as older people. New research from Public Health England suggests
that infection with both flu and COVID-19 at the same time is associated with a greater
risk of more severe illness and death.
Will flu vaccine side effects cause confusion with coronavirus symptoms?
Vaccinated individuals should be advised that flu vaccines may cause a mild fever which
usually resolves within 48 hours. This is a common, expected reaction and isolation is not
required unless COVID-19 is suspected.
Feeling generally unwell, shivery, achy and tired are also commonly reported symptoms
following flu vaccination. The nasal spray flu vaccine given to children may also cause
a runny or blocked nose. These symptoms usually disappear within one to two days
without treatment but paracetamol can be given if necessary to relieve any of these symptoms.
As has always been recommended, any fever after vaccination should be monitored and if individuals are concerned
about their or their child’s health at any time, they should seek advice from their GP or NHS 111.
COVID-19 symptoms are: a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or
taste. If someone experiences any of these symptoms they should get tested. The flu vaccine will not interfere with
testing for COVID-19.
For more information regarding side effects of the flu vaccine please visit
the following link: www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/flu-vaccine-side-effects/ .
Will the flu vaccine make you test positive for coronavirus?
The test for COVID-19 looks for the specific genetic sequence
of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19 disease.
Flu viruses have a very different genetic sequence from
the SARS-CoV-2 virus so having the flu vaccine cannot affect
the result of the COVID-19 virus test.

Resilience … a Marathon not a Sprint

Spiritual Care Team
September has seen a whole month of harvest giving
throughout the Trust. Despite the many trials and
tribulations that are affecting people during this time we
have been inundated with gifts of long life food that have
been distributed to people in need who live in Doncaster,
Rotherham and Scunthorpe.
Many thanks to all our colleagues who have hosted a
collection point, The Food and Drink café in Doncaster,
reception colleagues at Swallownest Court, The Woodlands
in Rotherham and reception colleagues at Great Oaks, North
Lincolnshire.
The food donated in Doncaster was given to the Balby
family Hub food bank where the team there were delighted
with the large donation of food which will go a long way to
supporting local families in need.
Food donated from Swallownest Court and The Woodlands
went to the Rotherham food bank. (Left to right) Nursing Assistants Stephanie Fowler and

The team on Laurel Ward held a harvest festival on October
5. Patients and colleagues enjoyed finding how many words
they could make from the word ‘harvest’. The two most
important words found were ‘starve’ and ‘share’ which
started a discussion that if we all shared our food, nobody

Great Oaks supports
community with Harvest gifts
Wrawby Methodist Church has been collecting food to support
a number of groups over five years. It supports Brigg Foodbank,
people in Wrawby through a community kitchen, which has become
people in the village who are shielding or in need of support due
to COVID-19. The Church also reaches out to Harbour Place in
Grimsby, a shelter for the homeless and rough sleepers, and to
people from the Brigg area through a local job club support.
Since March they have delivered 26 bags every week in Wrawby,
which enables them to make contact with those who may be
isolated and take them a bag of food items and have a (socially
distanced) chat. Each week we have delivered at least two large
cases of food items and as many as five or six to Foodbank, plus
regular visits to Harbour Place taking washing powder, soft drinks,
breakfast cereals and on one occasion joined in their outreach
activity and provided over 60 pairs of new pants for their clients.
