The Mount View Practice

22/04/2026

We know that visiting the practice can sometimes feel overwhelming for some of our patients, especially when it’s busy or noisy.

That’s why we’re pleased to let you know that we now have a Calm Waiting Space available at Mount View 💛

This quieter area is available for any patients who would prefer a more peaceful environment while they wait for their appointment.

If you feel this would help you, please just let a member of our reception team know when you arrive, we’ll be more than happy to show you where it is and let your Clinician know you are there.

We want all of our patients to feel as comfortable and supported as possible when they visit us 🫶🏻

Dear Mount View Patients, we have had an issue with our phone system this morning, we believe this is now rectified. Thank you for bearing with us 🫶🏻

You asked, we listened 💛

We’ve recently made some changes to our waiting area at Mount View following feedback from our patients.

We understand that sharing a large reception space with other services can sometimes feel busy and overwhelming, and at times, our patients were finding it difficult to access seating.

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve now created a dedicated Mount View waiting area, helping to make things clearer, calmer, and more comfortable.

✔️ A defined space for Mount View patients
✔️ Improved access to seating
✔️ A more organised and calmer waiting environment

We’re really pleased with how this is working already, and we hope it’s made a positive difference to your visit.

Thank you, as always, for your feedback, it genuinely helps shape how we improve our services 🫶🏻

✨ Introducing our Cancer Awareness Area ✨

At Mount View, we are committed to supporting our patients with not just treatment, but information, reassurance, and early awareness 💚

We’ve created a dedicated Cancer Awareness Area within the practice, where you can find:
📚 Easy-to-understand information leaflets
🔍 Signs and symptoms to look out for
💬 Advice on when to seek help
🤝 Support available locally and nationally

Each month, we’ll be highlighting a different cancer awareness theme — helping you stay informed and empowered about your health.

🟢 This month’s focus: Bowel Cancer Awareness

If something doesn’t feel right, please don’t ignore it. Early detection can make a huge difference.

Pop by, take a leaflet, and have a read.

💙 Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This April, we’re supporting Bowel Cancer UK to raise awareness of bowel cancer — the 4th most common cancer in the UK.

🚨 Knowing the symptoms could save your life:
• Blood in your poo
• A change in bowel habits (looser, more frequent, or constipation) • Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent tummy pain or bloating
• Feeling very tired (which could be due to low iron)

👉 These symptoms don’t always mean cancer — but it’s important to get checked.

📩 Screening matters
If you’re aged 50–74, you’ll automatically be invited for NHS bowel cancer screening.
It’s a simple test you do at home — and it can detect cancer early, before symptoms even start.

❗ Don’t ignore symptoms at any age
If something doesn’t feel right, please contact us.
We’re here to help — no matter how small it may seem.

📲 How to contact us:
• Online via our website
• By phone
• At reception

💙 Early detection saves lives — please don’t delay.

Today we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible people who work in our practice, our Primary Care Network, colleagues in services across Fleetwood Health & Wellbeing Centre and the wider health and care community.

General Practice is often described as the front door of the NHS, and every day the teams behind that door work incredibly hard to support our patients and community.

From reception and administration teams, to nurses, healthcare assistants, GPs, pharmacists, paramedics, ACP’s, Mental Health Professionals, social prescribers, care coordinators and many more — it truly takes a whole team to keep primary care running.

We are also incredibly grateful to our colleagues across our Primary Care Network, community services, and partner organisations who work alongside us to support patients every day. The collaboration between teams is what allows us to provide the care and support our community needs.

The pressures on the NHS are well known, but what continues to shine through is the dedication, compassion and resilience of the people working within it.

To all our colleagues — both within the practice and across our wider healthcare community — thank you for everything you do.

Not sure where to go for help?

When you’re feeling unwell 🤒 it can sometimes be difficult to know where to seek help.

The NHS offers several services designed to make sure you receive the right care as quickly as possible. 🚨

Here is a simple guide:

💊Pharmacy. Your local pharmacist can help with many common conditions such as coughs, colds, sore throats, earache, minor skin conditions and medication advice.

☎️NHS 111. If you need medical advice and are unsure what to do, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day and can direct you to the most appropriate service.

👨‍⚕️GP Practice. For ongoing health concerns, long-term conditions, medication reviews or when you need assessment by a clinician within general practice.

🚑 Urgent Care / A&E
For serious or life-threatening conditions such as chest pain, severe breathing difficulties, suspected stroke, or serious injuries.

By choosing the right service, you help ensure emergency services remain available for those who need them most.🙏
