🐎🔥 Year of the Fire Horse – Stay Strong and Bold
As we celebrate Chinese New Year, we’re wishing all our patients happiness, prosperity — and good health.

The Fire Horse is known for energy, independence, and boldness. Take charge of your health this year with a simple but powerful step:

❤️ Check your blood pressure
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.
✔ Pop into the practice for a check
✔ Use a home monitor
✔ Ask us if you're unsure when yours was last checked

Be bold like the Fire Horse — your health is your greatest wealth.

'Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can spread very easily among people who are not fully vaccinated.'

The best way to protect against measles is to get vaccinated when invited. Children are offered protection as part of the routine vaccination programme in the UK. Declining vaccination rates mean that more people are at risk of contracting measles. Measles can lead to serious problems if it spreads to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or brain.

Problems that can be caused by measles include:
- pneumonia
- meningitis
- blindness
- seizures (fits)

Our practice nurses and GPs are here to talk with you about any queries or concerns you may have about vaccinations. We want to keep our population happy & healthy and prevent the spread of avoidable conditions.
