🎗️ Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – Know the Signs, Save Lives 🎗️

Ovarian cancer is often called a “silent” disease because its symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for everyday issues. Early detection can make a huge difference.

Key symptoms to watch for:

Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling

Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite

Pelvic or abdominal pain

Changes in urinary or bowel habits

If you notice these symptoms regularly, don’t ignore them – speak to your GP.

✅ Learn more and get support from the NHS:

Let’s raise awareness and help catch ovarian cancer earlier. 💛

🚨 Missed GP Appointments Matter 🚨

Every missed appointment at our GP surgery is time that could have been used to help another patient.

When appointments are not attended and not cancelled:
❌ Other patients wait longer to be seen
❌ Clinicians’ time is wasted
❌ NHS resources are stretched further

If you can’t attend your appointment, please let your GP surgery know as soon as possible. Even cancelling on the day can allow someone else to be seen.

Let’s work together to make sure appointments are available for those who need them most. 💙
