Meet Holly, one of our Care Co-ordinators at the surgery.

Whilst she is sometimes patient-facing, much of her work takes place behind the scenes, where she plays a vital role in supporting many aspects of our services.

Holly oversees the co-ordination of care for our palliative patients and our patients with learning disabilities, severe mental illness and long term conditions, ensuring a high quality of care for our most vulnerable patients. She also manages the administrative liaison for Waverley Grange, supporting the nursing residents under our care. Holly invites and encourages patients to attend their annual reviews, recognising the significant impact these appointments can have on maintaining and improving their overall health. She manages requests for access to medical records, including arranging video consultations for patients requiring proxy access. Holly also carries out audits, including reviews of missed or unattended appointments, to ensure we continue to deliver our services effectively and in the most patient-centred way. Holly often assists the duty doctor to ensure patients who need appointments on the same day are able to access them.

There is no doubt that the role of our administrative staff is key to the successful functioning of our surgery.

Skin cream alert:

Here is some advice on how to use emollients safely:

Emollients can soak into clothing, bedding, dressings, and other fabric. The build-up of dried emollient on to fabrics can increase the risk of fires as they can catch fire much more quickly and burn hotter than clean fabric and cause severe and fatal burns. This applies to all emollients, whether they contain paraffin or not.

1. Do not smoke, cook or go near to any naked flames or heat sources such as gas, halogen, electric bar or open fires whilst wearing clothing or dressings that have been in contact with emollient-treated skin.

2. Change and wash your clothes frequently (preferably daily).

3. Take care the cream doesn’t dry onto cushions, soft furnishings and bedding.

4. Tell your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you normally smoke. They will be able to offer you help and advice to stop smoking.

5. Most emollients are oil based; if being used as a soap substitute there is a risk of slipping during in showers or baths. Ensure that the bath or shower is cleaned out properly after use to reduce the risk of slipping.

Know Your Numbers – get your blood pressure checked at your local community pharmacy.

Participating community pharmacies are offering free NHS blood pressure checks to adults aged 40 and over who don’t already have a diagnosis of high blood pressure.

The check takes 10–15 minutes in a private consultation room. A trained pharmacy team member will ask a few questions and take your blood pressure using a monitor.

If your reading is high, you may be offered a device to take home that monitors your blood pressure throughout the day (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring). Based on your results, the pharmacist may refer you to your GP for further support.

Why is this important?

High blood pressure (also called hypertension) often has no obvious symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes. Knowing your numbers empowers you to take control of your health and make informed choices that improve long-term health outcomes.
