BMG patients, lets talk about "When painkillers become part of the problem…"
Medicines like opioids, gabapentin, pregabalin, benzodiazepines and sleeping tablets can really help with pain in the short term 💊✨
But when used long-term, they can often stop working — and sometimes even make pain worse 😔
Over time, these medicines can increase the risk of:
⚠️ Dependence and withdrawal symptoms
⚠️ Increased pain
⚠️ Poor sleep and low mood
⚠️ Dizziness, falls and confusion
⚠️ Breathing problems (especially when medicines are combined)
We know that the thought of reducing pain medicines can feel worrying 💭💙
But with a gradual, supported reduction, many people notice:
🌙 Better sleep
🧠 Clearer thinking
🚶 Improved balance
😊 Better overall wellbeing
🤝 Support is available : If you’re taking long-term pain medicines and would like support with a safe reduction, please contact us via our online appointment request/phone or call into surgery to enquire.

You’re not alone — help is here 💙

📢 Important Information for BMG Patients on HRT or Contraceptive Pills & Taking Mounjaro 💉💊

We’d like to share an important update from the British Menopause Society that may affect some of our patients at Bay Medical Group. 💬

➡️ If you're on HRT and take a progesterone tablet, please note:
📌 Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections may reduce the absorption of oral progesterone, especially when:
• Starting the injection
• Increasing the dose

⚠️ This could lead to unexpected bleeding or thickening of the womb lining.
👉 To stay safe, you may need a higher dose of progesterone for 4 weeks after starting or increasing Mounjaro.

➡️ If you’re on the contraceptive pill, Mounjaro may also affect its effectiveness.
🛑 It’s recommended to use an additional barrier method (e.g. condoms) for 4 weeks after starting or changing your dose.

We’re currently reviewing and advising patients who may be affected. However, we aren’t always notified if patients are accessing Mounjaro privately or online. 🌐

❓Not sure if this affects you?
📞 Please contact the surgery to speak with a clinician — we’re here to help and guide you.

Your safety is our priority 💙

🤢🦠 BMG patients, Norovirus is doing the rounds! 🦠🤢
For most people it’s unpleasant but short-lived, however for others — especially the very young, older adults, or those with weakened immune systems — it can have a bigger impact 💙

🚫 The best way to protect yourself and others is simple:
🧼 Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water!
🚽 After going to the toilet
🥗 Before preparing or eating any food

❌ Remember — alcohol gels won’t kill norovirus, so proper handwashing is key! 🙌💦

Stay well, stay clean, and help stop the spread 💪

📢 What happens when we've reached capacity for the day and are fully booked for anymore appointments? 🕘💻📞

BMG patients, we often get asked about what do you do when you ring/call in/submit an online request for an appointment and are told "we have non left for the day", but you still have a need medically, to be seen.

We know it can be frustrating not to get an appointment, and we’d love to help everyone, but our priority is keeping all our patients, including you and our clinical team safe 💙⚖️

Our appointments can’t be unlimited — and once we’ve reached safe working capacity, here's what happens 👇

🔹 If you submitted a request before capacity was reached:
✅ Your symptoms will be reviewed by our clinical assessment team
📩 You’ll receive a text message or call with the outcome
🏥 If on-the-day input is needed and we’re full, you’ll be signposted to NHS 111 (let them know your GP surgery is at capacity)

🔹 If your request is triaged as not needing a same day appointment: we will contact you informing you of this outcome.
📅Routine appointments can take upto 1 month to be assigned depending on your medical need.
🧾 Our Patient Advisor Team will be in touch when a suitable appointment becomes available
📩We now send holding texts at regular intervals to keep you updated
🙏We have just introduced this, so please accept our apologies if you haven't received one prior to this post
Please note that if a specific clinician is requested or determined to be the most appropriate for continuity of care, this may result in a longer wait time.

🔹 If you contact us after we’ve reached safe working capacity for the day:
📞 Our team will direct you to NHS111 or if your symptoms can wait, we ask you to get in touch the next working day (let them know your GP surgery is at capacity)

💡Top Tips:
🌅 You can submit your medical request as early as 7:30AM
📄 The more information regarding your symptoms the better ! this helps our clinical team when reviewing your request
📵 Medical requests are closed when the surgery is shut
📄 Please do not submit medical requests using the admin form as it will not be processed.

We’re here for you – and working hard to help everyone as safely and fairly as possible 💙

🚰💙 Let’s Talk About UTIs! 💙🚰

BMG patients, Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are really common — and can cause a lot of discomfort 😣. The good news? There are simple ways to prevent them and get quick help if one starts to develop! 🌟

💧 Top Tips to Help Prevent a UTI:
✅ Drink plenty of water — stay hydrated!
✅ Don’t “hold it in” — go to the loo when you need to 🚻
✅ Wipe front to back (ladies, this one’s important!)
✅ Wear cotton underwear and avoid tight clothes 👖

If you do get symptoms like:
🚨 A burning feeling when you p*e
🚨 Needing to p*e more often or urgently
🚨 Lower tummy pain

👉 Visit your local pharmacy!
Pharmacists can now help treat UTIs for a range of people any woman aged 16 - 64 under the Pharmacy First scheme 🏥💊 — no GP appointment needed! They can even dispense antibiotics when appropriate.

Let’s look after our bladder health and keep infections at bay 💪
Prevention is better than cure! 🌼
