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. 🎗️🩺💙✨

Thinking about fasting this Ramadan?

📢 A message for our patients
We’ve noticed a couple of S12 Community Facebook posts over the last 24 hours and wanted to take a moment to respond and provide some clarity.

📞 Phone Lines & Lunchtime Cover
Our phone lines switch over to a reception hub for one hour during our opening hours. The hub is based in Sheffield and supports many other practices in the city. They are extremely helpful, and if needed, they can contact us directly.
This switch over period allows our reception team to catch up on outgoing calls and essential admin tasks, while clinical staff continue seeing patients as normal. The door remains open – the only difference is that phone calls are diverted.
We genuinely appreciate patients letting us know if they are experiencing any issues. We are currently looking into whether there were any technical problems with the system yesterday.

📊 Improving Telephone Access
This time last year, the average telephone wait to reach our reception team was around 8 minutes.
Thanks to changes we’ve made, the average wait is now under 5 minutes, although we recognise that it may be longer during peak times.
We manage 3 phone lines and regularly receive over 250 calls a day plus online request and internal NHS calls. To help reduce frustration, we now offer a call back system for anyone waiting over 5 minutes.
We are always exploring new ideas and ways of working to keep improving access and reducing wait times.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Our Clinical Team
We’ve also seen some lovely comments about members of our clinical staff on the Facebook group – thank you.
We’re proud to say that we currently have the largest GP team we’ve ever had at Birley Health Centre, with fantastic new GPs complementing our experienced team.
You can meet the whole team here not just GPs but other clinical staff like our Practice Nurses and our Physician Associates:

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. We are always listening and always looking to improve.

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.

Mind’s Time to Talk Day is a reminder that talking really can change lives. Whether you’re feeling lonely around Valentine’s Day, coping with grief or bereavement, or struggling with your mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported.

If you’re waiting for therapy, there are ways to look after yourself, manage difficult feelings and find support in the meantime. Small conversations, with friends, family or professionals, can be a powerful first step towards feeling less alone. 💙🗣️🌱✨

World Cancer Day is a chance to raise awareness of cancer prevention, early diagnosis and the importance of national screening programmes for bowel, breast and cervical cancer. Screening can help find changes early, before symptoms appear, when treatment is more likely to be successful. 💙✨

Many people diagnosed with cancer now live longer and better lives thanks to improvements in detection, treatment and support. Understanding risk factors, making healthy lifestyle choices and attending screening when invited can all help reduce risk and improve survival. Support is also available for anyone affected by cancer, from diagnosis through recovery and beyond. 🎗️
