Don't forget! ⏰

The clocks go forward 1 hour this Sunday for Daylight Saving Time.

If your clocks don't update automatically, remember to change them before going to bed on Saturday night.

A simple change, but an easy one to forget!

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range 📊

Knowing your BMI can help identify if you may be underweight, overweight or at risk of health conditions linked to weight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

While BMI is a useful starting point, it does not tell the whole story 👇
Waist measurement is also important, as carrying extra weight around your middle can increase your risk of health problems, even if your BMI falls within a healthy range.

Understanding both measurements can help you make informed choices about your health and seek support if needed 💙✨

Vaccinations help wrap your child up in the best protection from diseases like measles and whooping cough, which are still around and can spread easily, causing serious illness.

So make sure your child's vaccines are up to date.
Check their red book or speak to your GP practice.
Stay strong. Get vaccinated.

GPs are not dentists.

Patients who are experiencing pain or discomfort with their teeth and/or gums should seek an appointment with a dentist, not their GP.

We understand the frustration that not everyone can access an NHS dentist, however, the GP service is not a substitute. We cannot assess, and treat, dental problems.

If you are having problems finding a dentist accepting NHS patients, you can:
✅Search for an NHS dentist at https://www.nhs.uk/.../dentists/how-to-find-an-nhs-dentist/
✅Call NHS England's Customer Contact Centre on 0300 3112233.
Please be aware that dentists can:
✅ Prescribe antibiotics
✅ Prescribe pain killers
✅ Refer you to a hospital specialist for complex problems

If you have a dental emergency📞ring your usual dentist or 111.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

At 11.15 on Saturday night someone drove into our car park, switched off their lights, got out and left a large amount of faeces by their car before driving off.

This is not something that our staff should have to deal with when they arrive at work.

Please be aware that we will be reviewing our CCTV and sharing with the police.

Salt plays an important role in the body, but too much can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Many processed foods contain hidden salt, so it’s easy to consume more than recommended. On the other hand, very low salt levels can sometimes contribute to symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness or fluid balance issues, especially if combined with dehydration.

Staying well hydrated, keeping active and aiming for a balanced diet can help support healthy blood pressure. Understanding how salt affects your body can help you make informed choices. 🧂💧🩺✨
