Are you new to the area or haven’t registered with a GP yet?

Everyone living in England has the right to register with a GP, even if you:
-Don’t have ID.
-Don’t have an NHS number.
-Are temporarily homeless.

Registering with a GP is the first step to accessing medical care, prescriptions, screenings, vaccinations, and more. Once registered, you can:
-Book appointments.
-Order repeat prescriptions online.
-Access your medical records digitally.
-Get advice on your health and wellbeing.

How to register:
Complete a registration form either online (on the surgeries website) or head into your local surgery.
Provide proof of address if possible (but it’s not mandatory).
If you have previous medical records, ask your old GP to transfer them.

📌 Tip: Don’t wait until you’re unwell, registering early ensures you have full access to NHS care when you need it.

💜 This week is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Week, aiming to raise understanding of MS, a lifelong neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. 💜

MS can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
• Fatigue and weakness.
• Difficulty with balance and coordination.
• Numbness or tingling.
• Vision problems.
• Cognitive changes.

Every person’s experience of MS is different, and symptoms can come and go. While there’s currently no cure, treatments, therapies, and support can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
If you or someone you care for is living with MS, speak to your GP or visit the NHS website for advice, resources, and support services.

🌍 Today is World Malaria Day, a day to raise awareness of malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by mosquitoes carrying parasites. Malaria affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. 🌍

Key facts:
• Malaria is preventable and treatable.
• Using mosquito nets, insect repellents, and timely treatment can save lives.
• Global efforts continue to reduce malaria cases and deaths every year.

While malaria is rare in the UK, it’s important for travellers to take precautions and seek advice before visiting at-risk countries. The NHS and travel clinics provide guidance on prevention, vaccinations, and treatment.

💉 This week is World Immunisation Week, a global campaign to raise awareness of the importance of vaccines in protecting people of all ages from serious diseases. 💉
Vaccines are safe, effective and save millions of lives every year. They protect not only the person receiving them but also the wider community through herd immunity.

The NHS provides a range of vaccinations for children, adults, and at-risk groups, including:
• Routine childhood immunisations.
• Flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
• Travel vaccines.
• Vaccines for pregnant women and vulnerable adults.

Staying up to date with your vaccinations helps keep you, your family, and your community healthy.

🏴 Today is St George’s Day, the National Day of England, celebrating the country’s history, heritage and traditions. 🏴

St George’s Day has been observed for centuries and is associated with courage, community spirit and national pride. Traditionally, people celebrate by flying the St George’s flag, attending local events, enjoying English cultural activities, and learning about the country’s heritage.

While not a public holiday in England, it’s a day to reflect on community, values, and traditions.

🌍 Today is Earth Day, a global day to support environmental protection and raise awareness of how we can care for our planet. 🌍
A healthier environment helps support healthier communities. Clean air, green spaces and reducing pollution all play an important role in protecting our health and wellbeing.

Small actions can make a difference, such as:
• Walking or cycling for short journeys.
• Reducing waste and recycling where possible.
• Using reusable bags, bottles and containers.
• Spending time outdoors and enjoying local green spaces.

By making small changes in our daily lives, we can help protect both our planet and our health. 🌱
