🌼 Struggling after having a baby? You’re not alone - help is available

Postnatal depression is a type of depression that can affect parents any time in the first year after birth. It affects more than 1 in 10 women - and it can also affect fathers and partners.

It’s more than “baby blues”. While sadness, tearfulness or anxiety in the first week is common, symptoms that last longer than two weeks may be a sign of postnatal depression. These can include low mood, loss of interest in daily life, exhaustion, difficulty bonding with your baby, withdrawing from others, or frightening thoughts.

If this sounds familiar, please reach out. Postnatal depression is treatable, and with the right support, most people make a full recovery.

✅ Speak to your GP, midwife or health visitor
They can listen, support you, and discuss treatment options such as talking therapy, self-help strategies or medication that’s safe in breastfeeding.

✅ Useful support organisations
• APNI (Association for Post Natal Illness) – 020 7386 0868
• PANDAS (Pre and Postnatal Depression Advice & Support) – 0808 196 1776
• NCT Parent Support Line – 0300 330 0700
• Mind Infoline – 0300 123 3393

✅ Remember:
• Postnatal depression can affect anyone
• It’s not your fault
• It does not mean you’re a bad parent
• Your baby will not be taken away for seeking help
• You deserve support just as much as your baby does

Supporting Patients Living with Dementia - New Service Now Available

We’re pleased to share that, from this week, a Dementia Advisor from the Alzheimer’s Society will be joining us every Monday to offer dedicated dementia support reviews for our patients.

These appointments are designed to support day-to-day living – not to discuss medication or health treatment – and can be done by phone or face-to-face at the surgery.

During a review, our Dementia Advisor can help with:
• Guidance for carers and family members
• Referrals to adult social care or Derbyshire Carers
• Support with benefit applications (via Citizens Advice)
• Advice on Lasting Power of Attorney
• Help finding local groups to reduce isolation
• A safe space to talk through any worries or concerns

If you are a family member or carer of someone living with dementia, we’d encourage you to get in touch and book on their behalf. Your involvement can make a real difference.

📞 To arrange an appointment, please call the surgery.
🌐 You can also find more support at: www.dementiaderbyshire.org.uk

We hope this extra support helps patients and families feel more connected, informed and supported.

🩺 Introducing Jess’s Rule: “Three strikes and we rethink.”

Jess’s Rule encourages GP teams to re-evaluate when a patient presents three times with the same or worsening symptoms and their treatment plan isn’t working.

It’s named in memory of Jessica Brady, who sadly passed away from cancer at just 27, after her symptoms went undiagnosed despite over 20 consultations.

At Horizon Healthcare, we’re committed to following Jess’s Rule to help improve early diagnosis and ensure the best possible care for all our patients. 💙
