For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

Why our reception team asks questions - They’re not being nosey. They’re specially trained Care Navigators who help make sure you get the right care, first time.
A short description of your symptoms helps them direct you to the most appropriate clinician or service.

Across our local primary care network, GP practices now have a wide range of healthcare professionals, including:

🩺 Nurse practitioners
💊 Clinical pharmacists
💕 Social prescribing link workers
🩹 First contact physios
🧠 Mental health practitioners
…and more.

Because we have a team of specialists, your GP isn’t always the best or only person to help — and that’s a good thing. It means you may receive faster, more tailored support.

So next time our reception team ask you a few questions, it’s simply to guide you to the best care for your needs.
