Social Prescribing Day celebrates the power of community, connection and non-medical support to improve health and wellbeing. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Social prescribing links people to local activities, groups and services that can help with loneliness, stress, finances, housing, physical health and more. Being part of a community, trying new social activities or accessing practical advice can have a positive impact on both mental and physical wellbeing. Support is available in many different areas, helping people feel more connected and empowered. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about menโ€™s health. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉบโœจ

Salt plays an important role in the body, but too much can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Many processed foods contain hidden salt, so itโ€™s easy to consume more than recommended. On the other hand, very low salt levels can sometimes contribute to symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness or fluid balance issues, especially if combined with dehydration.

Staying well hydrated, keeping active and aiming for a balanced diet can help support healthy blood pressure. Understanding how salt affects your body can help you make informed choices. ๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿฉบโœจ

18/03/2026

We are receiving a large number of enquiries about the Meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine following the recent situation in Kent. We hope the following helps clarify the current NHS Guidance.

โ€ข The MenB vaccine has been part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination schedule only since 1st July 2015.
โ€ข Children born before this date would not have received MenB as part of their routine NHS vaccinations, unless they had it privately.
โ€ข The NHS only provides MenB vaccination outside the routine programme for specific medical conditions, such as asplenia, spleen dysfunction, or sickle cell disease.
โ€ข We are unable to offer MenB vaccinations for children over 2 years of age unless they meet these NHS clinical criteria

We understand this is a worrying time and thank you for your patience as we manage increased enquiries.

If you have concerns about your childโ€™s vaccination history or think your child may be at higher risk, please contact the practice via eConsult and our clinical team will be happy to advise.

Good sleep habits are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking frequently during the night can affect mood, concentration and overall health.

Simple changes like keeping a regular bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, limiting caffeine and creating a calm sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.

Understanding the possible causes of sleep problems and accessing trusted advice can make a real difference. Better sleep supports better days. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Symptoms such as ongoing tiredness, swelling, changes in urination or persistent kidney pain should never be ignored. Lifestyle choices, hydration and underlying health conditions all play a role in kidney health.

There is also growing concern about ketamine use in young people, as it can cause serious damage to the bladder and kidneys, sometimes leading to long-term complications. Knowing the risks and acting early can help protect kidney function and overall wellbeing. ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Young Carers Action Day shines a light on the incredible young people who help care for family members, often balancing responsibilities at home with school and friendships.

The 2026 theme focuses on Action for Equality, calling for better recognition, improved support in schools, access to training and employment opportunities, and meaningful breaks so young carers can thrive just like their p*ers.

Some young carers may miss school activities or struggle with their mental health due to caring responsibilities, which is why awareness and understanding matter. Schools, organisations and communities can access resources and posters to help raise awareness and ensure young carers are not held back. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŸโœจ
