💙March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This month is about more than a ribbon — it’s about fathers, brothers, partners, friends… and the conversations we sometimes avoid.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK — but when detected early, treatment is often very effective.

If you have any concerns or worries please do not hesitate to contact us using our Klinik system on our website (linked below). For more information please see below:

📣 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Group Consultation — You’re Invited

Nightingale Valley Practice is offering a friendly group consultation session for patients living with high blood pressure.

This is a relaxed, supportive appointment where a small group of patients meet with our clinician to learn, ask questions, and share experiences — all while still receiving personalised care.

💡 What are the benefits?
• Better understanding of your blood pressure and what the numbers mean
• Practical tips on diet, salt, weight, alcohol, sleep and exercise
• Medication advice and common side-effects explained clearly
• Learn from questions others ask (you’ll think of things you hadn’t considered!)
• More time with the clinician than a standard appointment
• Support and motivation from people in a similar situation

🔒 Confidentiality matters — you can share as much or as little as you wish, and individual concerns can still be discussed privately.

Many patients find group consultations reassuring, informative and empowering — and they often leave feeling more confident about managing their health.

📞 Interested in attending?-Please complete our Patient Queries section on our website and one of our team will be in touch.

Measles is **not just a rash**. It’s a highly contagious virus that can cause high fever, ear infections, pneumonia, brain inflammation, and in rare cases lifelong disability.

The good news?
💉 The **MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine** is safe, effective, and gives long-lasting protection.

✔️ 2 doses = about 99% protection
✔️ Protects vulnerable babies & pregnant women
✔️ Helps prevent school outbreaks and missed days
✔️ Protects your whole community

If your child hasn’t had both MMR doses, they’re not fully protected — but it’s never too late to catch up.

Submit a klinik request using the link to see if you or your child is eligible for the vaccine and one of our receptionists will be in touch. Please use the admin request tile:
