💙 Men’s Mental Health Support Group 💙

We host a men’s mental health support group at the surgery every Thursday, 6pm–8pm.

👥 Open to all men aged 18+ — whether you’re struggling, feeling low, or just want a chat in a safe, non-judgemental space.

☕ Expect a friendly welcome, a cuppa (and a biscuit!). No pressure to talk — listening is just as welcome.

💬 Why come along?
Meet like-minded men
Share a chat and a cuppa
Give support, receive support — or just listen
Sometimes listening helps just as much as talking

🤝 What can I expect?
A warm welcome
Tea or coffee (and a biscuit!)
No obligation to talk beyond saying hello
You can leave at any time if it’s not right for you

💷 Free to attend
No booking
No referral
Just turn up

Why not give it a try?

Good Morning

As predicted there has been some overnight snow, but thankfully not as severe as predicted.

Some staff are struggling to travel from further afar this morning, if your appointment has been affected we are contacting you regarding this, however local staff have walked in, and we are open as normal.

If you are worried about attending your appointment today and wish to rearrange, or change this to a phone call, please let reception know.

For safety all appointments have been relocated to the street level floor today, there are no appointments on the lower ground floor, so please do not use the side steps or walk through the side car park as this area has not been gritted.

Stay warm ☕

Good Morning - a few updates, 😷👩‍⚕️💉

👩‍⚕️As you are all likely aware from the media, today is the start of a 5 day strike/walkout by Resident (Formally Junior Doctors).

All senior clinicians and allied health care workers will be in and running services as normal. As before please be aware that we cannot influence hospital factors so please follow any instructions given to you by the hospital if you have had an appointment cancelled.

😷The other significant media coverage relates to high volumes of flu circulating and adding pressures to hospitals.

💉Our community have been amazing in taking up the vaccine offer early in the season and we are hoping this is helping protect Matlock from escalating numbers. To try and maintain and protect this, we have ordered some extra flu vaccines, and have added some additional nurse appointments, please contact reception if you would like to book in or ask during any appointments you attend if you are entitled to the flu jab and not yet had it and we will do our best to get you vaccinated.
