One Wirral CIC (Community Interest Company) is a social enterprise which brings organisations and people together to achieve bigger and better things for the people of Wirral.
NHS Vaccinations and Screening Programmes
Early detection saves lives. Screening programmes are a crucial opportunity to catch potential health issues before symptoms develop. Encouraging patients and community members to attend their appointments can make all the difference.
Breast Screening – Women aged 50 to 70 are invited for a mammogram every three years.
Cervical Screening – Women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.
Bowel Screening – Men and women aged 54–74. People aged 54 and over will automatically receive a home test kit every two years.
Targeted lung Health – People aged 55 to 74 with a history of smoking.
Vaccination Programmes
Vaccines protect not just us as individuals, but our communities too. So, it’s really important to get your vaccines and encourage others to take advantage of these free programmes and safeguard everyone.
Flu Vaccine
The flu vaccine reduces the risk of severe influenza, reduces strain on the NHS and helps protect vulnerable loved ones.
COVID 19 Vaccine
Provides protection against serious illness and is crucial for staying safe through future waves of the virus and is offered during the autumn and the spring.
HPV Vaccine
Protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV) – a common virus that can cause cancers such as cervical, mouth and throat as well as anus and genital (but it doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections).
Pneumococcal Vaccine
Protects against serious infections such as meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia – especially important for older adults.
Shingles Vaccine
Reduces the risk of shingles, a painful and potentially debilitating condition.
RSV Vaccine
For protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) – an infection that affects the lungs and breathing tract and can be serious in babies and older adults.
