We’re running a Blood Pressure Monitor “amnesty”. If you’ve borrowed a BP machine from the practice and have had it longer than intended, please could you return it to reception as soon as possible so we can lend it to other patients who need it. Thank you for your help.

Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of looking after your long-term health.

A family history of cancer, smoking, va**ng, poor diet and long-term acid reflux can all increase risk. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or va**ng, can help reduce the risk of many cancers and improve overall health.

Knowing the signs and understanding risk factors can support earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. 🎗️🩺💙✨

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We are now live with our Rapid Health form on the NHS App 📱

If you are using the NHS App to contact us about a health problem, please make sure you select:

👉 “CONTACT YOUR GP ABOUT A HEALTH PROBLEM”

There is another option that says:

❌ “Book an appointment online”
This is not the correct option for Rapid Health and will not show any appointments or link to the form.

The system is working really well so far and many patients are already using it successfully – thank you. 💙

We’ve had some lovely comments from patients saying,
“I can do it, but I’m worried about older or vulnerable people.”

That’s exactly why this matters.
If you are confident using the form, please do use it. When patients who are able to complete the form online choose to do so, it helps free up our team’s time to support those who need extra help, including our older and more vulnerable patients.

Patients who cannot use the app or website can still call us, and our team will complete the form on their behalf. 📞

This is about working together as a community so we can make sure everyone gets the care and support they need.

Thank you for your patience and support as we settle into this new way of working. 💙

Children’s Mental Health Week is a great opportunity to think about how we can support children’s wellbeing in everyday life. 🧠💙📱✨

Creating healthy habits around screen time and internet use, having open conversations about what children see online, and knowing where to find support can all make a positive difference.

For families waiting for neurodiversity or mental health assessments, trusted guidance and early support can help while you’re on the journey. Small, consistent actions at home can help children feel safer, more confident and better supported.
