Getting your flu jab protects you from missing the things that matter most this winter! ❄️

Hundreds of our patients aged 65+ have already protected themselves this flu season ✅

Good news is, we still have vaccines available!

Flu isn't just a bad cold. For older adults, it can mean:

- Weeks in bed 🛏️
- Missing important events 🎄
- Serious complications leading to hospital admission 🏥

A quick jab dramatically reduces your risk, and it only takes a second to book.

We vaccines left. Don't leave it to chance ⚠️

📞 Call us after 11am or submit a request via SystmConnect (link on our website)

🌸 Let’s Talk About Perimenopause & Menopause

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms begin, even though your periods haven’t stopped yet.

For many women, these changes can affect daily life, from energy and mood to relationships and work.
Symptoms can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting the right support matters. 💛

🩺 New NHS Initiative:
Menopause will now be included as part of routine NHS Health Checks, offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74.
By adding tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to access support, advice and treatment to manage their symptoms effectively.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Day 1 – This Week we have a new physio practitioner joining the team so we will be doing a post a day about what first contact practitioners can do (FCP)

📣 Meet Our New Team Member – Mrs Tooba!
(I will try to get a meet the team post with photo once she has fully started)
We’re excited to welcome a new face to Bognor Medical Centre 💙

She will be working 2 days a week on a Monday and Wednesday letting us offer more appointments then ever before.

An FCP is a highly skilled clinician who can see patients directly for muscle, joint, and bone problems (like back pain, neck pain, sprains, or arthritis).

Instead of waiting to see a GP, you can book directly with our MSK specialist, saving you time and getting you the right care faster ✅.

👉 Keep an eye out this week as we share more about how an FCP can support you and the community.
