It's supposed to be the season of goodwill, which makes it even more frustrating to have to reiterate our Zero tolerance policy regarding verbal and physical harassment of our staff. Several of your interactions today have left our some of our staff in tears and others questioning whether it really is worth coming to work each day to do what we do for you. This isn't an isolated incident and seems to be happening more frequently which is incredibly sad, and demands action.

Please, be kind. Listen. Treat others as you would expect to be treated. If you ask for our advice, we will tell you what is evidence-based, safe and appropriate to your needs. This may be something we provide, or that another Provider has been commissioned to deliver in our region. This may not always be what you feel would be most convenient, or what you were expecting but it is the stark reality of having to balance the needs of nearly 8,000 people every day.

We will be making some changes in the New Year to make it easier to tell us what you need, so that we can provide the right care, from the right person at the right time. We want you to work with us, rather than against us so that we can keep you happier and healthier for longer. In the meanwhile, please be kind to the people who are trying to help you.

🎄 Christmas can feel lonely and it’s okay to talk about it.

While the world around us celebrates, it’s common to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or alone. Sometimes, that loneliness can lead to using drugs or alcohol to cope. If that’s where you’re at right now, we’re with you.

You don’t have to go through this season on your own. We’re here to listen, without judgement, and support you.

If you’re struggling, get in touch with the WithYou in Redcar & Cleveland. 📞Call 0300 303 3781 option 1 or visit https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/local-hubs/redcar-and-cleveland.

The Surgery building is open between 08:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday. Like the rest of the Practices in our Primary Care Network we have a sub-contract with ELM GP Alliance to provide cover between 18:00 and 18:30 and this has been the case for a number of years.

We are proud to have been accredited as a Veteran-Friendly GP Practice since the scheme’s inception in 2019. If you are an armed forces veteran, please tell us. A Veteran is anyone who has served in the British Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) for at least one day and this also includes any member of the Merchant Marine who has served in a war zone. This includes crew from convoys in World War 2 and more recently in the Falklands conflict and Gulf Wars. By telling us that you’re a veteran, we can make sure that you get the care you need when you need it most.

Colleagues from our OPTIMISE cancer prehabilitation programme have partnered with local training group, Boro Runners to offer a Run, Walk and Talk group for people affected by cancer.

The group is open to anyone who is currently preparing for treatment, going through treatment, recovering from treatment and living with and beyond cancer and is led by qualified coaches and run leaders.

The first event was held on Saturday 25 October and runs every Saturday at Stewarts Park from 10.30am to 11.30am.

Personalised cancer care prehabilitation lead Chloé McMurray said: "We are so grateful to be collaborating with Boro Runners who are running these free sessions for any person affected by cancer, including friends and family.

"We want to encourage people to participate at any stage of the cancer pathway, whether this be high suspicion, diagnosis, during treatment, recovery or living with and beyond cancer - all abilities are welcome.

Our first session on Saturday was such a lovely, warm friendly experience with lots of laughter and we hope to continue to grow the community and support people to be more active and improve wellbeing on every step of this journey.'
