🩺 HIV Testing Week |

This week is HIV Testing Week, an important reminder of how vital regular testing is for protecting your health and the health of others.

Knowing your HIV status means you can access the right support and treatment early and with early diagnosis, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives.

✅ Testing is quick, confidential, and can make a real difference.

If you have any concerns about your sexual health, you can submit an eConsult online, and a GP will review your request in confidence.

To find out more and to order a free testing kit visit https://www.startswithme.org.uk/

Let’s break the stigma, take control of our health, and say: I Test.

💬 Time to Talk Day 💙

Today is Time to Talk Day, a valuable opportunity to encourage open conversations about mental health.

As our Mental Health Nurse, Irene, shares:

“Statistically, one in four of us will experience mental health difficulties this year.
As you can see, mental health problems are common, so let’s talk about them. Many people may feel reluctant to open up due to concerns about stigma.

My invitation is for us all to communicate more and support one another. Take a moment today to reach out to a friend, colleague, or someone in your life, and simply check in with them?

You may want to talk but not feel comfortable speaking to someone you know. In those situations, some people may feel safer talking to a professional.
If this is the case for you, I am available at the Lodge Health Partnership to offer support.”

Let’s use today as a reminder that talking and listening can make a real difference. 💙

Yesterday, some of our staff attended a Basic Life Support refresher course!

Keeping these skills up to date is vital in the workplace, but they’re just as important beyond it. Knowing how to recognise and respond to a medical emergency means our team could make a real difference in the community, whether that’s helping a family member, a neighbour, or a member of the public until emergency services arrive.

These skills also support better understanding of emergency symptoms and why they matter. Early recognition of signs such as breathing difficulties, chest pain, or loss of consciousness can help a GP or healthcare professional decide the most appropriate care, including when urgent or emergency treatment is needed.

Would you know what to do if someone collapsed in your community? If not, why not take a moment today to find out where your nearest defibrillator (AED) is located. You don’t need to be trained to use one they give clear instructions and could save a life in an unlikely but critical situation.

Well done to everyone who took part and continues to invest in skills that help keep others safe, both at work and in everyday life 💙

🚨 IMPORTANT SCAM ALERT – GP Surgery Phone Calls 🚨

We have been made aware by Hertfordshire Police of an active phone call scam targeting patients.

You may receive a call with a recorded message claiming to be from the NHS or your local GP surgery, saying that your details are out of date and that you will be removed from the surgery list unless you update them. The message then asks you to press a number or click a link and provide personal details.

⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM ⚠️

Please be aware:

We will never call you asking you to update your contact details, unless we are trying to contact you in an emergency.

If we believe your contact details are out of date, you will receive a letter sent to your registered address.

It is a patient’s responsibility to keep their contact details up to date.

If you receive a call like this:
📞 Hang up immediately
📞 If you are concerned, call us on 01727 853107

If you believe your contact details may be out of date, please update them using our official online form:
👉 https://www.lodgesurgery.co.uk/form-change-of-contact-details
Your email address and phone number can also be changed via the NHS app.

Keeping your details up to date directly with us helps us to help you and reduces the risk of you being caught out by potential scams.

ℹ️ Please note:
Using eConsult may allow you to provide updated contact details, however this is not guaranteed to update your records and is not an official method for changing your details.
If you change your address, phone number or email, please always use our online form above.

👵👴 If you have elderly or vulnerable relatives/neighbours who may not use social media, please pass this message on to help keep them safe.

We have been awarded the Purple Star! 💜 Happy to announce that The Lodge Health Partnership has been successfully reaccredited with the Purple Star accreditation until December 2028!

Why does this matter to you? This isn't just a badge. Reaccreditation proves that we consistently meet high standards for fairness, safety, and dignity in our care.

Improvements that benefit all our patients were specifically highlighted:

✅ Clearer Communication: We were praised for taking the time to explain procedures (such as blood tests) clearly and compassionately.

✅ Holistic Safety: We don't just treat symptoms. We offer "holistic care" that actively works to close health gaps and reduce inequalities.

✅ Proven Quality: Reaccreditation means we didn't just get it right once. We have been reviewed again to make sure we are continuously improving our services.

Special recognition goes to Dr Strain and Lyn, who lead on this area and help us maintain these high standards.

Thank you for supporting us in building a practice that values our whole community!

💚 This Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, we want to start a conversation.

In 2024, over 1.5 million people didn’t respond to their cervical screening invitations and 55.5% of people aged 25–29 didn’t attend their smear appointment.

💬 Hear from our nurse, Camilla:

“All our nurses aim to make the process of a cervical screening as comfortable as possible. For those who feel more anxious, we’re very happy to offer a consultation beforehand to talk through the process. You’re also welcome to bring music or a friend if that helps. The smear itself only takes a couple of minutes, and the speed of the appointment is always led by you.”

We know smear appointments can feel daunting, uncomfortable or awkward and that’s okay. Your feelings are valid.

💬 We’d really like to hear from you:
What puts you off attending cervical screening?
What could we do to help you feel more comfortable coming along?

Please feel free to comment below. By talking openly, we can make screening more supportive, more personal, and more accessible for everyone 💚
