Every bloke struggles sometimes, it’s part of being human. What matters is doing something about it. 👊

Our peer support & personal development groups give lads a space to talk, listen, relax and let loose in the healthiest, most productive way possible.

No pressure. No judgement. Just honest conversation, a few laughs, and a brew.

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

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.

So far in October, patients have failed to attend 189 appointments.
189 appointments that could have been used by someone else.
Approximately 40 hours wasted

55 with GP
26 with Advanced Nurse Practitioner
24 with general nurse / Healthcare
34 blood tests
50 flu vaccinations

We understand that there may be times that something else crops up, but it is important that patients contact the surgery to cancel and we can offer the space to someone else.

Our phone lines have a check and cancel service which means you can easily cancel without needing to speak to reception.

You can also cancel and rearrange appointments via the NHS app.

Please please, do not let appointments go to waste.

Thank you.

We still have nasal spray flu vaccine available for those children who are eligible to have at the surgery. You should have received a text message or letter regarding this. If you have opted for your child to be immunised at school, they do not need to attend the practice. Thank you.

Flu can be dangerous for people at higher risk — including children, older adults and those with long-term health conditions.

Getting the free NHS flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and reduce the risk of serious illness.

👉 Book through your GP surgery, participating pharmacy, or in the NHS App.
