Woodside Medical Centre Middleton are really grateful for the opportunity to be involved in something that matters deeply to us in our practice and to the community we serve.
In general practice, we often see people at their most vulnerable.Sometimes they come in with physical symptoms,sometimes stress, anxiety, or exhaustion., and sometimes, behind what brings them through the door, there’s a story that’s much harder to say out loud.
Domestic abuse can affect anyone.It doesn’t always look the way people expect, and it isn’t always visible.
What we do know is that for many people, a GP practice may be one of the only safe places they visit regularly. That gives us both a responsibility
and an opportunity.

That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce our new partnership with Soul Sisters.

Soul Sisters bring expertise,compassion, and lived understanding to the support of people experiencing domestic violence.
By working together, we’re making sure that help is not only available but accessible, discreet, and rooted in trust.

This partnership means that patients who may not feel ready to contact a specialist service on their own can be gently supported through familiar, safe healthcare pathways.
It means clearer signposting, better conversations,
and most importantly, reassurance that they are not alone and that help is there when they’re ready.
Reaching out to patients about this service is not about forcing conversations. It’s about opening doors. It’s about letting people know that if they need support—now or in the future there is somewhere safe to turn, and someone who will listen without judgement.

We know that even knowing support exists can be a powerful first step.
On behalf of our practice, I want to thank Soul Sisters for their partnership, their dedication, and the work they do every single day.

Together, we hope to make a real difference quietly, respectfully, and with compassion at the centre of everything.
