National Pandemic Flu Service goes online
A new self-care service which will give people with pandemic swine flu symptoms fast access to information and antivirals was launched today by Health Secretary Andy Burnham.
The National Pandemic Flu Service is a new dedicated website and phoneline (0800 1 513 100 or 0800 1 513 200 (Textphone)) for people to get information, check their symptoms and get a unique number which will given them access to antivirals if necessary.
People who have swine flu symptoms will be given a unique access number and told where their nearest antiviral collection point is. They should then ask a flu friend - a friend or relative who doesn't have swine flu - to go and pick up their antivirals.
The flu friend must show their own ID as well as that of the patient. The authorisation number and ID information will be checked to ensure it matches the information provided when the assessment of symptoms was completed.
Anyone who suspects they have swine flu must not go to their GP or Accident and Emergency.
People should contact their doctor direct rather than using the National Pandemic Flu Service if:
they have a serious underlying illness,
they are pregnant,
they have a sick child under one year old,
their condition suddenly gets much worse, or
if their condition is still getting worse after 7 days (5 for a child)
Andy Burnham said:
'The National Pandemic Flu Service will give patients access to information and antivirals as quickly as possible. It will free up GP's so they can focus their efforts on helping those in at risk groups and patients with other illnesses.
'People can still speak to their GP if they are concerned. In fact - it is important to stress that people with underlying health conditions, pregnant women, and parents with children under the age of one should speak to their GP if they have symptoms.
'For the vast majority of people, swine flu has been mild. Some people find that they get better by statying in bed, drinking plenty of water and taking over the counter flu medication.'
Up to two thousand call operators will be trained for a minimum of three hours. Less experienced call operators will be trained for a day. Strict industry standard regulations are in place when employing staff. These include the right to work in the UK (therefore no illegal immigrants), satisfactory employment references and satsfactory character references.
Doctors from the Royal College of General Practitioners will have a special liaison role with each of these call centres and will feed back problems or concerns that arise during the operation of service.
As swine flu spreads, it is important to be able to recognise its symptoms. People who have any of the following symptoms and a temperature of 38° C and above or feels hot may have swine flu.
The typical symptoms are:
sudden fever (a high body temperature of 38C/100.4F or above), and
sudden cough
Other symptoms may include:
headache,
tiredness,
chills,
aching muscles,
limb or joint pain,
diarrhoea or stomach upset,
sore throat,
runny nose,
sneezing, and
loss of appetite.

The National Pandemic Flu Service in England will go live later, giving thousands of people with swine flu access to drugs without consulting a GP.
It is hoped the website and some 1500 staff taking calls will help relieve pressure on the NHS.

BBC的报道,上周全英H1N1新感染病例为100,000,目前英格兰住院人数为840,其中63人需要特别护理.
详情请看

Flu infects 100,000 in past week
英国政府表示，英格兰地区新增甲型H1N1流感感染人数在过去一周内翻了一番。
据估计，英格兰新增甲型H1N1流感病例有10万例，其中14岁以下的人群受害最严重。
与此同时，英国刚推出了全国流感服务，通过电话确诊，向患者提供所需药物，而无需联系家庭医生。
目前，英国因甲型H1N1流感而死亡的人数是26人。这个数字与上个星期的相同。
英国卫生部门的分析显示，在信息掌握全面的病例中，有三分之二的死者有癌症等其它致命疾病。
尽管新增感染人数从5万5千上升到大约10万人，但是住院接受治疗的人数却没有以同样的比例上升。
目前，有大约840名病人在医院接受治疗-其中63人病情严重-上周的数字是652人。
The number of new cases of swine flu in the past week has reached an estimated 100,000, the BBC has learnt.
The figure for England is double the total of the previous week and comes as the Department of Health prepares to launch the National Flu Service.
The hotline and website service will give flu sufferers access to drugs without needing to consult a GP.
It uses a checklist to diagnose cases and has been designed to relieve the pressure on the health service.
Pregnant women, people with health conditions and the under-ones will still all be referred to GPs.
The Department of Health has accepted that the service could be abused by people giving the answers they believe will give them access to anti-flu drugs.
But Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson has said it is a price worth paying to help the NHS cope with its "biggest challenge in a generation".
He told the BBC this week that the flu service might just be the first step in how the health service responds to a pandemic which has already claimed more than 700 lives across the world.
The death toll in the UK stands at 31, but that is likely to climb when the Department of Health in England releases its weekly update on Thursday.
The 100,000 figure for new cases emerged before the briefing, but it is in line with what experts expected. Last week there were an estimated 55,000 new cases.
Under contingency plans, non-emergency operations can be cancelled, while doctors can be moved around the health service to help flu hotspots cope.
The flu service does have some security checks in place. Those who are diagnosed with swine flu are given a voucher number for a flu friend to collect their drugs from a collection point.
Each person has their own unique number so the service will know if an individual is trying to get more than one dose of an anti-viral drug.
The flu friend will also have to present ID for the patient when they collect the drug.
It will be staffed by 1,500 call handlers to start with, although there is already capacity for 2,000 people in the network of call centres.
Demand
The free-phone number will only be operational from 8am until midnight, but officials stressed that it will expand to meet the requirements of the pandemic.
Details of the website address and helpline number have yet to be released.
The launch of the service was announced last week after GPs and NHS Direct reported a dramatic rise in calls and consultations.
Every region of England is now seeing "exceptional" levels of activity with the exception of Yorkshire and the Humber.
And a poll of 1,500 NHS staff by the Health Service Journal and Nursing Times showed 14% did not think their organisation was coping successfully with the pressure.
The flu service is not covering the rest of the UK as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have all experienced much less demand.
They will be able to plug into it if and when they need to, although experts have said Scotland appears to be over the worst of this phase.
Dr Richard Vautrey, of the British Medical Association, which has helped to design the checklist being used by the flu service, said: "What we have to remember is that this is a unique situation.
"Some GP practices are receiving hundreds of calls a day and we have to prioritise so we can see the most seriously ill.
"It has been designed by doctors to pick up problems that need to be seen by someone with a medical background.
"So as long as the call handlers get the correct training we can be confident in this service."

英卫生官员预计，今年英国冬季感染H1N1人数将达人口1/3，死亡人数将高达19000至65000！！！
:-o :-o :-o
今天BBC的头条，关于英国的SWINE FLU疫情的，看来英国人一直不管不管，最终等到媒体报道了也不得不管这个事情了。
大家可以从以下数字看一下英国H1N1疫情的严重程度：（英国目前的人口总数约为6千万）
1. 死亡数字（截至7月16日止）为26人(3人在苏格兰)
2. 上周新增个案 （7月5日-11日）为55，000人
3. 预计09年冬季死亡案例为19，000 - 65，000例 (对比正常的感冒,平均冬季死亡率6000 至 8000人)
4. 目前英格兰住院人数为652人,严重病例53例
*数字来自于以下的BBC新闻
英国政府正准备开始一个PANDEMIC FLU SERVICE来应对本次疫情:
1. 首先,下周将会开通一个有2000个接线生组成的CALL CENTRE SERVICE(就是呼吁民众避免因为感染SWINE FLU全部直接去医院或者诊所看医生)
2. 专线电话的服务人员将会按照手上的CHECKLIST给打来咨询的民众判断是否感染猪流感,如果证实是的话,会通过电话给予病人一个取抗病毒药的VOUCHER NUMBER.(不过没有说明怎么去取,到哪里去取药)
3. 互联网上也会开通类似服务,民众可以上网,根据CHECKLIST判断自己是否感染了猪流感,在网上也能够拿到取药的VOUCHER NUMBER.
4. 电话专线的服务人手数目会根据这次疫情的实际变化而调整.
UK swine flu deaths jump to 29
Twenty-nine people have now died in the UK after contracting swine flu, up from 17 on Monday, the government has said.
It comes as the number of new cases hit 55,000 last week and the NHS has seen a surge in calls and consultations.
Ministers in England have responded by promising the National Flu Service will go live at the end of next week to relieve pressure on hospitals and GPs.
The government has also warned that deaths from swine flu this winter could be between 19,000 and 65,000 in the UK.
Experts said it was impossible to predict exactly, but with a third of the population perhaps becoming infected in the coming months the death toll could rise to such numbers.
The World Health Organisation has also described the pandemic as the fastest-moving one ever, adding it was now pointless to count every case.
The pandemic flu service will allow people to get access to anti-flu drugs by calling in or using the internet.
It will not be available in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as officials believe the demands being placed on the health service there are not as great.
In England, the rate of calls to NHS Direct is four times higher than would be expected for the winter, while the number of people in hospital has doubled to 652. Some 53 of these are in a critical condition.
In the worst hit areas, hospitals have reported having wards full of children with swine flu, while GP practices have said they are seeing between 50 and 60 flu cases a day.
Every region of England has seen a rise in demand for services during the past seven days with only Yorkshire and the Humber not now reporting "exceptional" levels.
Pressure
Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson said: "The flu service will mean the pressure will get taken off front-line staff to allow them to concentrate on the most serious cases."
But he said there were still no signs the virus was mutating and becoming more severe.
And he added despite reports of delays with a vaccine, the UK was still expecting the first batches by the end of August with 60m doses by the end of the year.
Of the 29 deaths, 26 have been in England and three in Scotland.
The most recent victims include a Swindon patient and a female tourist who died in Scotland.
The woman - who suffered underlying health problems - died after being admitted to hospital in Inverness three weeks ago.
However, Sir Liam said it was important to keep the rising death toll in context.
During the 1999 to 2000 winter, seasonal flu deaths reached 19,000 and even during average winters there are normally anywhere between 6,000 to 8,000 deaths.
Professor Stephen Field, president of the Royal College of GPs, said: "The flu service has come at the right time. GPs in the hotspots were under a lot of pressure and this should help."
But shadow health secretary Andrew Lansley questioned whether the NHS would be able to cope.
He said there was little guidance for GPs and the outbreak was going to "dramatically" test the capacity of hospitals.
He added that with a hospital system that ran at close to full capacity all the time it was difficult to add additional capacity.
"So some of the decisions about priorities, of cancelling elective operations, of deciding who to treat in hospital and who not to treat in hospital - they will be quite difficult decisions if some of the assumptions about the increase in the number of cases is as great as the government are predicting."
THE PANDEMIC FLU SERVICE
The flu service has always been part of the government's contingency plans, although it had been delayed and was not expected until the autumn
The version that goes live next week will be manned by up to 2,000 call centre staff at any one time
They will use a checklist to diagnose whether the person calling has swine flu and will be able to give them a voucher number to get anti-viral drugs if they are believed to be infected
The public will also be able to use a website to fill in the checklist as well and get access to the voucher number that way
People will still be able to go direct to GPs and the under ones and those with underlying health conditions should still contact a doctor if swine flu is suspected
The number of staff will be increased if necessary and there are plans to roll it out across the UK if necessary
