💙 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Catching lung cancer early can save your life.

The NHS is offering a lung health check for anyone aged 55–74 who’s ever smoked. It’s just a quick chat… maybe a scan.

Most of the time, everything’s fine - but if it is cancer, finding it early makes all the difference. Don’t wait, get checked.

🩺🦠 Flu, COVID-19 & RSV Update – Vaccines Still Available

The latest shows that flu continues to rise, COVID-19 is at baseline, and RSV is increasing. Children and young people remain the most affected by flu.

💉 Protect yourself and your loved ones: Our practice still has flu and COVID-19 vaccines available for eligible patients. Getting vaccinated is especially important while these viruses are circulating to reduce your risk of serious illness and hospitalisation.

📅 Call us to get your vaccine booked - stay protected this winter!

🤧 Feeling unwell? Please wear a face mask when visiting the Health Centre.

If you are actively unwell with a respiratory condition (such as a cough, cold, or flu-like illness), we kindly ask that you wear a face mask when attending the practice.

😷🤧Masks are available at reception.

This small step helps to limit the spread of infections and keep our patients and staff safe, especially as we’ve recently had a high level of staff sickness.

Thank you for helping us protect our community 💙

Armada Family Practice is pleased to announce they are working with their local community pharmacies, to improve the detection and diagnosis of high blood pressure.

Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure) is a leading risk factor for heart disease, such as heart attack, strokes, kidney disease and vascular dementia. High blood pressure, often described as a ‘silent killer’, affects an estimated 32% of adults. As the condition rarely has any symptoms, approximately 3 in 10 of these remain undiagnosed, equating to 4.2 million people in England.

High blood pressure can be easily treated, which helps reduce the future risk of conditions such as heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and vascular dementia.

We will be inviting patients to contact their local pharmacy to have a blood pressure check.
