If you spot any of these symptoms in a loved one, encourage them to visit their GP for an assessment. http://nhs.uk/conditions/dementia/

🕊️ Minute of Silence – Lest We Forget 🕊️
At 11am today, we will pause for a minute’s silence to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and lost their lives in conflicts past and present.
On this Remembrance Day (11th November), we take a moment to reflect on their courage, dedication, and the freedoms we enjoy because of their service.
We invite our patients and community to join us in observing this moment of reflection and gratitude.
Lest we forget. ❤️

🌍 Our Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Zero Tolerance for Discrimination🌍
At Cottage Lane, we are proud to serve our community through the collective expertise and compassion of a diverse, highly skilled team. Our clinicians include GPs, GP trainees, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, healthcare assistants alongside administrative staff, all of whom bring a wealth of experience, understanding, and professional excellence to patient care. Requests for a specific clinician for reasons other than clinical continuity (e.g. Based on appearance, national origin, or any protected characteristic) will not be tolerated.

Our team members come from a wide range of nationalities, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. This diversity enriches our practice, strengthens our understanding of the communities we serve, and enhances the quality of care we provide. Every clinician, regardless of their ethnic origin, is appropriately trained, fully qualified, and dedicated to delivering safe, evidence-based, and compassionate healthcare.

We would like to remind all patients and visitors that Cottage Lane operates a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, racism, abuse, or harassment. We are unapologetically anti-racist and committed to maintaining a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone.

We have no tolerance for any behaviour that goes against our core values or our expectations of respect. Any discriminatory, abusive, or inappropriate behaviour towards our staff or other patients will be taken very seriously and may result in further action in line with NHS policy and our practice procedures.

Looking for somewhere to take your little people on a Wednesday morning 10-11:30am ?

EVERY WEDNESDAY 10-11.30am.

We have the answer! A playgroup held inside the residents lounge at Robinwood Lodge on Gamesley! The room is a fantastic size, with lots of toys for a variety of ages!

Come and meet other mums, dads, grandparents, babies, toddlers and children as well as the residents who live at Robinwood lodge. This group enables your little one to mix with older people and breaks down the social barriers and tackles isolation for the older residents - mixing with you and your little ones really does make them happy!

We always have a brew, biscuits, cake and lots of laughter so why not come and give us a try.

We charge £3.00 for one child and one adult with refreshments but any additional children are £2.50 or knock 50p off if you don’t want brews or cake.

We are a super friendly group with lovely children and a very relaxed vibe and we would love to keep this group running but we need more people to attend so please share the word and let’s get this playgroup lovely and busy 🧸
