more about how the change in season can affect our emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as exploring strategies to manage well, then join us virtually for a special edition of the CF Cafe x Living Well Over Winter! ☕️

As most of you will know by now, we have a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis machine (BIA) - you most likely went on it at your Annual Assessment 😃.

Here is a little more info about it and what it shows. To reduce risk of cross infection, the machine is cleaned between users and you will only be able to use the machine on your clinic day/group.

**If you don't wish to have your body composition measured, there is no pressure. Just let one of the team know! **

🚗 Car Park Update 🚗

- Firstly, unfortunately the roof works are still on- going, therefore entrance 4 remains closed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

- Secondly, we are trying to reduce the amount of staff parking in the CF car park, therefore the barriers will be disabled between 18:30 - 08:45 (Mon-Fri only)

If you have a 9am appointment, the CF barriers will work as normal from 08:45. If you need to access/ leave the car park inbetween these times, please use the intercom but there may be a slight wait.

Thanks
