Please Only Order What You Need

Ordering medicines you don’t need can lead to waste and shortages. By only requesting what you need, you help your GP practice keep everyone safe and ensure medicines are available for all.

✔ Check your cupboards before ordering
✔ Order in good time, but not too early
✔ Speak to your practice if your medication needs have changed

Together, we can reduce waste and make sure medicines are there for those who need them most.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:
🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest
There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that makes breathing difficult. It includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema and is usually caused by smoking, though long-term exposure to air pollution or dust can also contribute.

Symptoms can include:

- Persistent cough with phlegm
- Shortness of breath, especially when active
- Wheezing
- Frequent chest infections

More information on the signs and symptoms to look out for and advice on living with the disease can be found on the nhs.uk website ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease-copd/

The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much, like not being able to raise your arm. Or struggling to smile. Or slurring when you speak. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency.

Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it's time to call 999.

Targeted Lung Health Checks are now available in Horley!

If you're aged 55 to 74 and are a current or former smoker, you may be eligible for a free lung health check - provided we have your smoking status on record.

These checks are part of the NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme, designed to detect lung problems early, when treatment is more likely to be effective and less complex.

Look out for a yellow envelope in the post. If you receive one, please take up the invite - it could save your life.
