⚠️ Junior Doctors’ Strike – Important Patient Update (14–19 November) ⚠️

Due to the junior doctors’ industrial action taking place from 14 November to 19 November, some appointments and services may be affected.

The practice has worked hard to minimise disruption and prioritise urgent and essential care during this period. However, this action has had an impact on appointment availability, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these exceptional circumstances. The team continues to do their best to support all patients safely and efficiently.

🩺🔍 Worried you could be at risk of type 2 diabetes? A few changes in your family history, lifestyle or symptoms might mean a lot.
Here’s what to keep in mind:

• 👪 Family history matters – If a parent, sibling or relative has diabetes, your own risk goes up.
• 🍔 Lifestyle factors count – Being overweight, inactive or having higher waist size can all raise risk.
• 🚩 Symptoms might be subtle – Increased thirst, tiredness or needing to wee more may be signs.
• 📊 Want to know your risk? Try this tool: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start
• 📖 More reading on what to expect and why this matters: https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet

It doesn’t mean diabetes is inevitable - taking action now could make a real difference. 💪

🥂✨ Not drinking? That’s a valid choice - and one worth celebrating.

is about creating a space where everyone feels comfortable with their own decisions, whether they drink or not.
Some people are cutting back for health, others are taking a break, and some simply don’t enjoy it - and that’s okay 💬🧃

👂 How can we be more supportive?
✔️ Respect someone’s choice without questioning it
✔️ Offer non-alcoholic options

😊 Please remember to cancel your appointment if you no longer need it!

Last month saw a high number of “Did Not Attend” (DNA) appointments - these are slots where patients didn’t arrive and didn’t let the practice know.

When this happens, the appointment can’t be offered to anyone else - making it harder for others to be seen when they need help.

If you can’t make your appointment, please let the practice know as soon as possible.

You can cancel by:
📞 Calling the surgery
📲 Replying “CANCEL” to your text reminder
💻 Using the online contact form on the website

Thank you for helping reduce wasted appointments and supporting others in the community!

We are very pleased to welcome back Dr Sondos Khedr (MBBCh DRCOG MRCGP) as a Salaried GP at Almond Road Surgery, working three days per week 😊

Many of you will recognise Dr Khedr from her time training with us between 2021 and 2023. She recently completed her GP specialty training through the East of England programme, and we are delighted she will continue caring for our patients.

🩺 A bit about Dr Khedr:
“I qualified in Egypt and moved to the UK in 2020. The pandemic gave me a new appreciation of patient-centred and continuity of care, which led me to pursue GP training. I enjoy the varied nature of General Practice and the occasional challenges it presents.”

Her areas of special interest include women’s health, frailty, and healthcare for older people.

✨ Please join us in giving a warm welcome back to Dr Khedr!

💙 It’s Anti‑Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good! Time to stand up, speak out, and build kinder communities 🌟

Bullying can happen anywhere: in schools, workplaces, online, even in organisations up and down the ladder. It affects everyone.

Here’s how we can make a difference together:
👫 Be an ally, not a bystander - if you see something, say something
🏫 In schools: encourage safe spaces, peer support, and open dialogue
💼 In workplaces & organisations: promote respect, zero tolerance, and clear reporting structures
🗣️ Share stories, challenge harmful behaviour, and support those who feel alone

Let’s work together for environments where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued 💪

💙 It’s not too late to get your flu vaccine!

Everyone aged 65 and over is eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine.

You might think you don’t need it because you’re feeling well — but people aged 65 and over are at higher risk of flu-related complications and need that extra protection.

Even if you had your flu jab last year, it’s important to get one again this year to stay protected through the winter. 💉

Help protect yourself and those around you.

🌫️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month is here - and this year, we’re shining a light on the connections between lung health, coughs, and family cancer history.

A persistent cough might be dismissed as a cold or heart issue — but sometimes, it’s more than that. If it lingers, gets worse, or you have other symptoms, get it checked.

Key point: family history of cancer doesn’t only mean the same cancer you have. When your doctor asks, they mean any cancer your relatives have had. This information can help assess your risk and guide decisions.

👉 https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/inherited-cancer-genes-and-increased-cancer-risk/family-history-and-inherited-cancer-genes

Stay alert to changes, know your family history, and speak up for your lung health 💨
