Get a Jab, Give a Jab, Save Lives – Flu still circulating in the community
We've already experienced the most challenging winter ever when it comes to flu. We've seen an unprecedented number of cases through our doors and, unfortunately, the virus is still circulating in our community and is expected to do so for longer than usual.
If you haven't already, you can still get protected through our Get a Jab, Give a Jab, Save Lives vaccination campaign. Colleagues in all roles and locations can access our dedicated team via the channels below.
Please remember, our Get a Jab, Give a Jab, Save Lives means when you get protected by having your flu jab our Charity will kindly donate to UNICEF on your behalf to help them give lifesaving vaccinations to children in some of the most difficult-to-reach and at-risk communities in the world.
Last year the total sum we gave to UNICEF helped protect around 59,000 children against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough for life. We'd love to give even more at the end of this winter campaign.

Attending an appointment – what happens?
Please bring your Trust ID. It also helps our vaccinators if you bring your employee number and NHS number with you. You can find your BWC employee number on your pay slip or ESR.
Your NHS number is 10 digits long and can be found on your NHS app or on any letter from the NHS, like a prescription or appointment letter.
If you can't find these, please don't let this put you off coming to get yourself protected. Our team will be able to find your details on our system.
