From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, so to keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

💉Flu/Covid clinic Saturday 18th October 💉

We have a Flu/Covid vaccine clinic this coming Saturday 18th October morning at the surgery for our patients who are aged 65yrs or over, or aged 18-64yrs in a clinical at-risk group.

The covid vaccine eligibility for this season’s campaign is more restricted than previous campaigns. If you are eligible, you will be offered the vaccine when you attend.

Patients will be arriving throughout the morning. Please note, the clinics are for Gudge Heath Lane Surgery patients only.

To reduce traffic on Gudge Heath Lane and the surrounding roads, we ask where possible that patients walk / cycle to the practice.

We would also ask everyone attending to be considerate of our neighbours and local residents, and we apologise in advance for any disruption to traffic flow that the day causes.

To speed up the process, we ask that you are ready for the vaccination by the time you reach the clinician, so please make sure coats, etc. are removed. Ideally where you can we would be grateful if you could wear a short sleeve top 👕

The phone lines will be closed, so if you are unable to contact us this week, please ring reception after 10am next week to re-arrange your appointment.

Whilst we are not expecting long queues, please be prepared to wait a short while in the British weather.

Thank you
