From 24th March 2026, all Cervical Screening communications are available in the NHS App for eligible people.

Patients attending cervical screening - if you have the NHS App downloaded, your results will be delivered via the NHS App. If you don’t have NHS App, you will be sent a letter in the post.

All communications will follow a fall-back process. Each communication type has a variation in the fall-back process; this is outlined below:
• First, an NHS App message will be sent. This will appear as an NHS App notification.
• If someone has the NHS App downloaded but doesn’t have notifications switched on, they may also receive an SMS message to remind them to check the NHS App.
• If the NHS App message isn’t read within 24/72 hours of delivery (depending on communication type) or for those where a digital communication isn’t possible, a physical letter will be posted as a backup.

Diabetics need their urine testing in their check ups. Are you aware why we request the sample?

Urine albumin testing is critical for people with diabetes because it detects early-stage kidney damage, often years before symptoms appear.

Diabetic urine is tested for albumin (a blood protein) because high blood sugar damages the kidney's filters, causing them to leak protein into the urine.
This condition, called albuminuria, is the earliest indicator of diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy), appearing 5-10 years before serious symptoms arise. Early Detection - the presence of small amounts (microalbuminuria) serves as a warning sign, allowing treatment to start before major damage

Screening Importance: Regular annual screening is recommended to monitor for kidney damage.

Risk Marker: Beyond kidney disease, it indicates a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks.

Please can all diabetics remember to bring a sample to their appointment?

You may all be aware of the Meningitis outbreak down south.
For any teenagers wanting the Men B vaccine we cannot give here.

The Men B vaccine was added to the NHS immunisation schedule for infants in 2015, providing protection for babies and young children in the UK. It is separate from the Men ACWY vaccine.

If you are a teenager or young adult born before 1 May 2015, you will not have received the Men B vaccine as part of the NHS schedule. If you were born before 1 May 2015, there is no NHS catch up programme for the Men B vaccine.

The Men B vaccine can be accessed privately through high street pharmacies, private GP providers and travel clinics. For those aged over 2 years, the vaccination course consists of 2 doses.

We CAN offer MEN ACWY vaccine up to age 25 if they/you missed it at school. The Men ACWY vaccine is a single-dose injection that protects against four strains of meningococcal bacteria (A, C, W, and Y). It is routinely offered to teenagers aged 13–14 (School Year 9).

You may have seen that measles has been in the news again, following outbreaks in parts of the country.

Despite the availability of a safe and highly effective vaccine, measles remains a significant global health risk. In 2023, an estimated 107,500 measles-related deaths occurred worldwide, mostly among unvaccinated or under‑vaccinated children under the age of five.

Measles is one of the most highly infectious diseases and spreads rapidly among people who are unvaccinated. It is an unpleasant illness and can sometimes cause very serious complications.

· Nine out of ten unvaccinated children can catch measles from an infected classmate

· One in five children who catch measles will require a hospital visit

· One in fifteen will experience serious complications, such as meningitis or sepsis

· Children who are not fully vaccinated and who come into contact with measles may be excluded from school or nursery for up to 21 days under public health guidance, meaning they could miss school if they are not protected

We strongly advise you to:

· Check you and your child’s vaccination record

· Make sure your child has had two doses of MMR or MMRV

· Contact your GP surgery as soon as possible if you or your child is not fully vaccinated
