****UPDATE**** These items have not been claimed and have therefore been taken to Newton Abbot Police station. If you or a loved one lost some sentimental items of jewellery on either the evening of 23rd January or early morning 24th January in the Albany Surgery area, please enquire at the Police Station.

The surgery has had some items of jewellery handed into the surgery that will have a lot of sentimental meaning and no doubt someone will be missing. If you have lost something significant, please ask at the reception desk to discuss your lost property with Becky. Very keen to get these items returned to their owners. Thank you 😊

🔨 If your weekend DIY job becomes a health SOS, we've got you covered! Knowing how to access the right care at the right time helps us help you. Here’s how to make the right choice:

🤒 Self-care
For minor issues like coughs, colds, sore throats, or mild flu symptoms—rest, keep warm, stay hydrated, and try over-the-counter remedies.

💊 Pharmacy
Pharmacists can help with a wide range of minor illnesses such as colds, flu, and tummy bugs—and give expert advice without an appointment.
Find your nearest pharmacy via https://buff.ly/r1r7IMF

👩⚕️ GP or NHS 111
If you have a new or worsening health concern, or symptoms that aren’t improving, contact your GP practice or call NHS 111 (online or by phone) for support and guidance.

⏳ Urgent care
For urgent but non-life-threatening issues—like sprains, minor burns, cuts, something which needs stitching, or persistent infections—visit an urgent treatment centre or minor injuries unit. Book an appointment via https://buff.ly/o920NP0

🚑 Emergency
In life-threatening emergencies, go to your nearest Emergency Department or call 999 immediately.
