Quitting smoking is one of the best choices you can make for your health. Did you know?
20 minutes after quitting, your heart rate drops.
24 hours later, your risk of heart attack begins to decrease.
In just 2-12 weeks, circulation improves, and lung function increases.
After 1 year, your risk of heart disease is cut in half!
Take the first step - set your quit date and start your journey to better health today.

As we head into winter, we’re seeing flu and other seasonal illnesses rising earlier than expected, with cases already higher than this time last year.

To help protect our patients and our teams, we’re asking anyone attending our Out of Hours services or GP practices to wear a mask if you have respiratory or flu-like symptoms.

What you need to know:
😷 If you have a cough, cold, sore throat or flu-like symptoms, please wear a mask when visiting our sites
🤝 This helps reduce the spread of germs
❤️ It helps protect vulnerable patients and our staff

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe this winter.

Christmas is coming! 🎅

Don’t get caught out missing your medicines, make sure your repeat prescriptions are ordered in plenty of time.

Why it’s important:
- Many GP practices and pharmacies are closed or have reduced hours over the festive period.
- Running out of essential medicines could disrupt your treatment or health condition, especially for long-term conditions like diabetes, asthma, or heart problems.
- Planning ahead gives you peace of mind so you can enjoy the holidays without worry.

✅ Arrange collection or delivery before the holidays begin
✅ Check your stock — you don’t want to run out when pharmacies may be closed
✅ Plan ahead and stay prepared for the festive break

💡 Ordering early ensures you have everything you need to stay well over Christmas and New Year.
