🌼🥕 Helping our community this Easter 🥔🌷

We know that school holidays can put extra pressure on family budgets, especially right now. To help a little, here are some very low-cost vegetable deals currently available in UK supermarkets 🛒

👉 You can find items like carrots, potatoes, parsnips, onions, and more from as little as 4p–15p depending on the store.

💡 These can be a great way to make:

Hearty soups 🍲

Roasted veg trays 🥕

Simple, nutritious family meals 🥔

Every little helps when it comes to feeding a family, and these offers may help stretch your food budget a bit further.

💜 World Purple Day – Supporting Epilepsy Awareness 💜

Today we’re proud to recognise World Purple Day, a global event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy and supporting those living with the condition.

🟣Epilepsy affects millions of people worldwide and can impact individuals of all ages. By wearing purple and starting conversations, we can help reduce stigma, improve understanding, and show our support to patients, families and carers in our community.

💜Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes recurring seizures. With the right treatment and support, many people with epilepsy live full and active lives. Awareness, early diagnosis and understanding from others can make a huge difference.

If you or a loved one would like advice or support regarding epilepsy, please contact the practice — our team is here to help.

Let’s stand together, raise awareness, and wear purple with pride today 💜

⚠️ Important Patient Update ⚠️

We’ve been receiving a high number of enquiries about the MenB vaccination linked to the Canterbury outbreak.

At this time, the vaccine is ONLY being offered to a small group of people who have been directly contacted by NHS England, their university, school, or public health officials.

👉 If you have NOT been contacted directly, there is no need to get in touch with the practice about this.

If you are eligible, you will be contacted and advised on what to do next.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our phone lines available for patients who need urgent care 💙

Tourette’s Syndrome Awareness 💚

Tourette’s Syndrome is a neurological condition that causes involuntary movements and sounds called tics. It often begins in childhood and can affect people in different ways throughout their lives.

For many people with Tourette’s, the most difficult part isn’t the condition itself – it’s feeling misunderstood, not listened to, or isolated. Simple awareness and kindness from others can make a huge difference.

If you or someone you care about has Tourette’s:
• You are not alone.
• Your experiences are valid and deserve to be heard.
• Support and understanding can make living with tics easier.

Many people with Tourette’s also experience anxiety, ADHD, or OCD, so it’s important that individuals feel safe speaking about their symptoms and mental wellbeing.

If you’re struggling or feel unheard:
Please reach out to us. Our GP team is here to listen, offer advice, and help connect you with the right support.

Helpful support organisations include:
• Tourettes Action – information, peer support and resources for individuals and families.
• NHS – guidance about diagnosis and treatment options.

If you would like to speak with a clinician or need support, please contact the practice to book an appointment.

Together we can help create a community where everyone feels understood and supported. 💚
