Milford House Supports Derbyshire’s Winter Vaccination Campaign

Filmed at Milford House Care Home, the campaign brings together local care professionals to promote the uptake of winter vaccinations and reinforce the important role they play in protecting individuals, reducing the spread of seasonal illness, and maintaining continuity of care throughout the colder months.
Several members of the Milford House team took part in the filming, supporting a wider public health initiative that encourages eligible social care workers to access their free NHS flu vaccination. The campaign aligns with national guidance encouraging health and social care providers to promote the uptake of flu, COVID-19, RSV and pneumococcal vaccinations amongst colleagues and those receiving care and support.
Supporting Residents, Colleagues and Communities
At Milford Care, the health and wellbeing of our residents and colleagues remains a top priority. Winter can present additional challenges across health and social care services, making preventative healthcare measures more important than ever.
Vaccinations remain one of the most effective ways of reducing the impact of seasonal illnesses and helping to protect those who may be at greater risk of serious complications. By safeguarding the health of care teams, providers can continue delivering high-quality care while helping to protect the vulnerable older adults they support every day.
The Department of Health and Social Care has highlighted the vital role social care organisations play in promoting vaccine uptake and helping to keep health and care communities safe and well throughout the winter period.
Working in Partnership
Milford House was delighted to work alongside Derbyshire County Council on this important campaign and is proud to support initiatives that promote positive health outcomes across the social care sector.
The campaign also provides an opportunity to recognise the dedication of care professionals who continue to go above and beyond to support older people, their families, and local communities every day.
Nichole Thompson, Home Manager at Milford House, said:
“We are incredibly proud of our team for taking part in this important campaign. Supporting the health and wellbeing of both our colleagues and residents is at the heart of everything we do. By participating in this initiative, we hope to encourage more people to consider the simple steps they can take to protect themselves and those around them this winter.”
