As October marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to share some important health promotion around checking your chest!
Please visit the CoppaFeel! | Check Your Chest | Breast Cancer Awareness Charity website, which has lots of great resources to help you learn how to check your chest regularly.
You can also sign up to Get a Chest Checking Reminder | - CoppaFeel! via text or email to help you remember to check your chest.
Our GPs would always rather see you if you have any concerns at all, so please don’t hesitate to book an appointment. You are always welcome to request a chaperone for your appointment—either beforehand or on the day—and can also specify your preference for the clinician you see.

Hi, I’m Liz, the Wellbeing Worker at Broadshires.
As tomorrow, Friday, 10th October 2025 is World Mental Health Day I wanted to share a little bit about what I do to stay well, as we all have mental health:
- I enjoy walks in nature
- Talking with friends
- Swimming
- Singing in the shower
These things all give me a boost if I’m having a difficult day, but I also do these things regularly to help me to maintain my wellbeing. The Wellbeing Service is here to offer you up to 6 sessions to talk 1-1 about your mental health and wellbeing.
Please submit an online consultation or speak to reception if you’d like to book a Wellbeing Appointment.
Kind regards, Liz

Thank you for supporting the practice over the last 3 days with transitioning across to our new total triage model. So far patients that have been using the service are reporting good feedback.
Since our go live day on 1st October our team has triaged over 435 online forms .
We are hoping that the impact of using this national system will make the patient journey more positive and that the patients medical need is met more efficiently.
