Dr Patrick Brien raising awareness of ovarian cancer:

This month we are raising awareness of ovarian cancer (cancer of the o***y).
Unlike breast or cervical cancer, ovarian cancer doesn't have screening. This means that women need to be aware of potential symptoms to look out for.

The main four symptoms to be aware of are bloating, stomach pain, difficulty eating and needing to wee more frequently.
Other symptoms such as back pain, changes in bowel habits, extreme tiredness or unexplained weight loss may also be ovarian cancer symptoms.

Diagnosing ovarian cancer can be tricky because a lot of these symptoms are common among other, less serious, illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome.
If in doubt, get in touch and speak to a GP.

As of today, we have an efficient electronic check-in screen located by the door on the way into the practice.

For a faster more convenient way, you can either tap the screen to book yourself in for an appointment or scan the QR code on your smart phone for minimal contact or cross-contamination whilst checking in. 📱

Unfortunately if you’re visiting for a Newcastle hospitals appointment you will still need to check-in at the reception desk.

Happy Check-in 😊 any help needed, please speak with the ladies at reception.

We’ve had a oticon RIC Real 1 right handed hearing aid handed into the surgery. Found in Spittal.
This is not an NHS hearing aid so the audiologist is unable to locate the owner.
If this hearing aid belongs to you or a family member please pop into the surgery to collect.

Thanks
