Just a reminder that since 10 November 2025, Bolton GP Federation has been delivering this year’s Winter Surge Hub at the Health Hive, providing additional capacity to support GP practices and the wider health system during the busy winter period.

The hub is operating from The Bolton Primary Care Hub, home of the Health Hive, Chorley Street, Bolton, BL1 4AL, running Monday to Saturday through until 6, April 2026.

Appointments are booked through patients’ own GP practices, ensuring a seamless experience for both practices and patients. This is another way we are working
to support primary care services and Bolton people during the winter months.

Brave the big talk - The theme for Mind 'Time to Talk' day this year is to brave the big talk and have conversations about mental health experiences that might still feel a bit unspoken. We’ve made great progress in destigmatising mental health problems and improving attitudes. But we need to keep going. There are still times when what we are living through can feel really big and difficult to talk about.

Supporting The World Cancer Day theme 2025-2027, “United by Unique” places people at the centre of care and explores new ways of making a difference.

Cancer is more than just a medical diagnosis—it’s a deeply personal matter. Behind every diagnosis lies a unique human story - stories of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and more.

That’s why a people-centred approach to cancer care that fully integrates each individual’s unique needs, with compassion and empathy, leads to the best health outcomes.

Every experience with cancer is unique and it will take all of us, united, to create a world where we look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient. A world where the needs of people and communities are at the centre of health systems.

Join us on 4 February and help us make a difference. Click here for more information...https://www.worldcancerday.org/about

🚑 Important update for Bolton patients attending A&E
If you’re registered with a Bolton GP and attend A&E at Royal Bolton Hospital with a minor illness, you may now be offered a same-day GP appointment, directed to a local pharmacy, or signposted to the right local service.

This new pilot, delivered by Bolton GP Federation in partnership with Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, helps make sure patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time – while keeping A&E available for emergencies.

👉 Anyone who needs urgent or emergency care will always still be seen in A&E.

For non-urgent health issues:
✔️ Contact your GP
✔️ Visit a community pharmacy
✔️ Use NHS 111 for advice
