🎆 Stay Safe This Bonfire Night! 🎇
As we enjoy the fireworks and festivities, please remember to stay safe:
✨ Keep a safe distance from bonfires and fireworks.
🐾 Look after pets — loud noises can be distressing for them.
🚑 Treat minor burns by running under cool water for 20 minutes — and seek medical advice if you’re concerned.

If you need urgent medical help, contact NHS 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk.
Have a fun and safe evening! 💥

It’s Movember! 🧔💙

This month we’re shining a light on men’s health — from mental wellbeing to prostate and testicular cancer.

Men in our community often put off seeing the doctor, but looking after your health is just as important as looking after your family or work. A quick chat or check-up can make a real difference.

If you’ve noticed changes in your mood, body, or general health, please reach out — we’re here to listen and help, not judge.

Let’s look after ourselves and each other this Movember. 💪

Celebrating Black History Month: Dr. Samantha Tross

This Black History Month, we celebrate Dr. Samantha Tross, the UK’s first Black female orthopaedic surgeon. Born in Guyana and raised in London, Dr. Tross has broken barriers and inspired countless others through her dedication, skill, and leadership in medicine.

Her journey reminds us that representation matters — and that talent, determination, and opportunity can transform lives and communities.

At Great Homer Street Medical Centre, we’re proud to honour pioneers like Dr. Tross who continue to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.
