Just a reminder - if you fancy joining us for a walk please feel free to come down to Practice for 1.25pm. Walk leaders will leave at 1.30pm to allow us to get back in time for afternoon clinics. Would be lovely to see some new faces - our regulars are super friendly and will put you straight at ease. Our walks take place every Wednesday at the same time so if you can’t make it this week pop a note in your diary for next time you are free 👍

Brilliant turnout for our first weekly wellbeing walk, thank all for coming.
We took a couple of wrong turns along the way but didn’t do too bad for our first adventure 🫣 The BeWell Team are going to plan a 45min walk for next Wednesday. It would be lovely to see you all again. If you would like to attend there is no need to book just arrive at the Practice for just before 1.30pm. We did 4km today in just over 1hour. Well done everyone 👍

⚠️ Antibiotics don’t treat colds or flu.

These illnesses are usually caused by viruses and are mostly self-limiting, whereas antibiotics only work on bacteria.

✅ Let’s handle antibiotics with care and keep these life-saving medicines effective.

Even if you feel great, some health problems don’t show obvious symptoms.
That’s why prenatal tests are so important!

Expect:
📸 Ultrasound – See your baby’s growth!
🩸 Blood & urine tests – Check for infections & anaemia
🔬 Blood pressure & glucose screening – Prevent complications
🤰🏾 Regular baby monitoring – Ensure a safe delivery

Every test is a step toward a healthy pregnancy. Work with your health worker to ensure you get the care you need, when you need it.
