👶🚶‍♀️ Buggy Walks – we want your views! 🚶‍♂️👶
Buggy Walks are a great way for parents and carers to meet others, enjoy some fresh air and get a few steps in 🌿
We’ve previously run twice-monthly walks before Bookbug sessions in Forfar, Kirriemuir, Arbroath and Brechin, and we’re now exploring a new volunteer-led programme launching this spring 🌸
To help shape future walks, we’d really appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete our short survey and tell us what times work best for you.
👉 Have your say – thank you! Survey will close on 8th March

Medicines Waste in Angus.

Every year, unused medicines place an avoidable financial burden on our local health services. That money that could be redirected into the care, support and services our communities rely on.

We want to understand why medicines go unused, what barriers people face, and how we can make returning medicines easier and more environmentally friendly.

Please share your views in our short survey: https://engage.angus.gov.uk/medicines-waste

Your feedback will help Angus Health & Social Care Partnership improve prescription practices, reduce waste, and invest savings back into frontline services.

Thank you for helping make a difference.

NOTE - If you need this information/survey in a different format, please email Tay.angushscp@nhs.scot or call 01307 492560 (office hours only).

Here is our Healthy Steps Angus programme of walks for next week.
Hopefully something for everyone:-
👣Snack & Chat on a Monday at 1pm for a 30-minute walk at Forfar Loch- open to all adults and ideal for home workers to get out and get active over their lunch break.
👣BEACTIVE walks offer shorter versions of our Health Walks, so great for anyone who may feel less confident about their abilities to manage a longer walk, maybe after a period of illness or injury.
👣Walk & Talks and our wider Health Walk programme offer slightly longer walks of around an hour, but walked at your pace and always with options to cut short.
👶Buggy Walks for parents/carers and their wee ones.
All provide the chance for a walk, a blether and company! All but the Buggy Walks offer a post walk cuppy too.
No prebooking needed, and the walks are FREE.
See you next week?

About Academy Medical Centre

Academy Medical Centre is one of the largest practices in Tayside with approximately 10,000 patients on our list.

We have a full complement of practice and attached community health staff operating from our modern, custom built premises. We have three GP Partners, assisted by a team of nurses and healthcare assistants. You can choose to see the doctor of your choice. We encourage continuity of care (seeing the same doctor) where possible.

The practice is fully computerised including an integrated appointment system and online patient services, and offers a wide range of clinics and services to patients. Patients' needs are at the heart of everything we do.

Of course we're not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff promote good health and well being whatever your medical condition.
