📈 We are seeing an increase in scabies cases across our local community.📈

Scabies is common and treatable, but it spreads easily within households if not managed correctly. Early treatment and ensuring all close contacts are treated at the same time helps prevent further spread. If you or someone in your household has persistent itching or a new rash, please speak to your pharmacist for advice and possible treatment.

If you are over 65, immunosuppressed or for a child under 2 please contact the surgery.

The following websites will give you further information on symptoms, treatments and prevention.

Looking after your heart can include:

💗 staying active
💗 eating a balanced diet
💗 stopping smoking
💗 managing stress
💗 attending health checks when invited

If you have concerns about your heart health or want advice on reducing your risk, please contact the surgery to speak to a member of our team. Let’s use Heart Month as a reminder to take care of our hearts – today and every day. 💓

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer for both men and women in Northern Ireland. It is more common in older people, especially men.

Screening is aimed at people without symptoms, and will help determine whether you need to go for further tests. It can also pick up pre-cancerous polyps so these can be easily removed and reduce your risk of developing bowel cancer in the future.

💙 Cervical Cancer Prevention Week 2026 💙

This week we would like to highlighting the importance of cervical screening for women and people with a cervix aged 25–64 in Northern Ireland. Cervical screening helps detect changes early, before they can develop into cancer – and it could save your life.

🩺 Why screening matters

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by persistent high-risk HPV. Cervical screening can detect early cell changes before cancer develops – helping to save lives.

📋 The Northern Ireland Cervical Screening Programme

Ages 25–49: invited every 3 years
Ages 50–64: invited every 5 years

Screening now tests first for high-risk HPV, a more accurate way of identifying risk early

Don’t ignore your invitation. It could save your life.
If you are due or unsure when your next test is, please contact the surgery to check or book an appointment. 💙

The NI childhood immunisation schedule is changing giving even better protection with the introduction of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.

From January 2026, eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

As with other childhood immunisations, parents will be contacted by their GP surgery to arrange an appointment if their child is eligible. If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor or GP.
