Gnosall Surgery

03/12/2025

97.7% of patients attended their appointment with a doctor or Nurse in November, which is great to see. However, 2.3% of booked appointments were missed without notice. While that may seem like a small number, every missed appointment means someone else could have had that slot.

Thank you to everyone who lets us know if they can’t make it. If you ever need to cancel, please do so as early as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else. You can cancel through the NHS App, your reminder text, by phone, or by emailing the surgery.

Every appointment counts, and your help makes a real difference in keeping services running smoothly.

🎄🎅🏼☕️What a lovely morning at the Community Café. The Gnosall Singers filled the room with Christmas carols and really got everyone into the festive mood. It was great to see so many friendly faces enjoying a cuppa, a chat and some brilliant music.

Thank you to the choir for making it such a warm and cheerful start to December. Christmas has definitely arrived

NHS Health Checks – Are You Eligible? 💙

The Health Check van will be on our car park next week between 10 and 4 with drop-in availability.

If you meet the criteria below, feel free to pop in for your free NHS Health Check.

An NHS Health Check is a quick and simple way to spot early signs of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues or stroke. It’s a great way to stay on top of your health.

You may be eligible if you:
• Haven’t had a health check in the last 5 years
• Aren’t diabetic
• Haven’t had a stroke or heart attack
• Don’t have a long-term heart or kidney condition
• Don’t already have high blood pressure or high cholesterol

If your results show you’re at higher risk, we’ll talk you through the next steps and support you with small changes that can help in the long run.

📩 Keep an eye out for your invitation or drop in next week if you’re eligible. Alternatively, you can call 0333 005 0095 or text HEART to 60777 to arrange an appointment. 📆

🥶With the drop in temperature, lots of us are reaching for our hot water bottles. Just a quick reminder that they actually have an expiry date, and it’s worth checking yours before you use it.

❄️Look for the flower-shaped symbol on the bottle. The number in the centre shows the year it was made, and the petals show the month. Most bottles should be replaced every 2–3 years because the rubber breaks down over time.

🥶If it looks cracked, thin, or feels a bit sticky, it’s time for a new one. Taking a minute to check can help prevent burns, especially for children and older adults.

❄️And don’t forget: use warm water, not boiling, and don’t fill it right to the top.

Stay warm and safe!
