Good sleep habits are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking frequently during the night can affect mood, concentration and overall health.

Simple changes like keeping a regular bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, limiting caffeine and creating a calm sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.

Understanding the possible causes of sleep problems and accessing trusted advice can make a real difference. Better sleep supports better days. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Dear Patients

Unfortunately, due to a burst water main in the area we have no water supply at the Practice, this means that we are only able to run a limited service and we will be contacting affected patients.

We have contacted the water board for an update, and have been advised that an inspection team are on site currently with an update due to come in the next hour.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, however this is unfortunately beyond on our control.

We will keep you updated as and when we receive further updates.

Symptoms such as ongoing tiredness, swelling, changes in urination or persistent kidney pain should never be ignored. Lifestyle choices, hydration and underlying health conditions all play a role in kidney health.

There is also growing concern about ketamine use in young people, as it can cause serious damage to the bladder and kidneys, sometimes leading to long-term complications. Knowing the risks and acting early can help protect kidney function and overall wellbeing. ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Young Carers Action Day shines a light on the incredible young people who help care for family members, often balancing responsibilities at home with school and friendships.

The 2026 theme focuses on Action for Equality, calling for better recognition, improved support in schools, access to training and employment opportunities, and meaningful breaks so young carers can thrive just like their peers.

Some young carers may miss school activities or struggle with their mental health due to caring responsibilities, which is why awareness and understanding matter. Schools, organisations and communities can access resources and posters to help raise awareness and ensure young carers are not held back. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŸโœจ

Tomorrow is No Smoking Day, a great opportunity to take the first step towards a smoke free future.

Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body and increases the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Some people turn to va**ng to help them quit smoking, but itโ€™s important to understand the facts, including concerns often raised about โ€œpopcorn lungโ€ and other myths.

Getting the right information and support can help you make an informed decision and move towards better health. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your body. ๐Ÿšญ๐Ÿ’™โœจ
