REMINDER - Home Blood Pressure Machines

We are currently experiencing a high number of home blood pressure monitors not being returned to the practice in a timely manner.

Please can we remind all patients to return the monitor to Reception as soon as they have completed their home blood pressure diary. This allows us to loan the equipment to other patients who require it.

Many thanks for your cooperation

🩵This week is Cervical Cancer Prevention week 🩵

Cervical screening is important to have, even if you have had the HPV vaccination. The vaccination protects against the most common types of high-risk HPV that cause cervical cancers. But it does not protect against all types.

Cervical cancer can affect women of all ages, but it is the most common cancer for women under 35 years old. 853 women died from the condition in the UK between 2017-2019 [Cancer Research UK].

However, cervical screening prevents deaths from cervical cancer and saves thousands of lives each year.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

We want to ensure all women and people with a cervix know how cervical cancer can be prevented. This means:

*Attending cervical screening when invited
*Knowing the symptoms of cervical cancer and seeking medical advice if experiencing any
*Taking up the HPV vaccination if aged 11-18
*Knowing where to find support and further information
*Please contact us to book your cervical screen (smear test) or if you have any questions or concerns.
