⏰ Missed appointments mean longer waits for everyone. In March, 310 appointments were missed — unfortunately, an increase from February. So we would like to say thank you to everyone who attended their appointments and remind others that can't attend, to please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to another patient who needs it.

Social prescribing is a way for healthcare professionals—especially Social Prescribing Link Workers—to support your overall wellbeing by connecting you with non medical activities and community services that match your needs.

Instead of only offering medication, your GP or link worker might recommend things such as:
• Local walking groups
• Gardening clubs
• Art or creative activities
• Support groups
• Hobby classes
• Community programs

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀
1. A link worker spends time getting to know your physical, emotional, and social needs.
2. They suggest activities or support services tailored to you.
3. These activities help boost physical health, reduce loneliness, improve mood, and strengthen social connections.

Taking care of yourself in early pregnancy makes a real difference for you and your baby. NHS screening tests can help identify certain conditions early on, and they start with a simple blood test before 10 weeks.

Don’t forget to ask about your pregnancy vaccines too — including whooping cough, RSV and the flu vaccine.

Speak to your midwife or GP to find out more and get the care you’re entitled to.

At our recent Patient Participation Group (PPG) meeting, we realised many of our patients weren’t aware that Eaglescliffe Medical Practice is on Facebook.

Our page is a simple way to keep up‑to‑date with practice news and updates, changes to services or opening times and much more.

We know that not everyone uses Facebook, so important is shared via our practice website too: https://www.eaglescliffemedical.co.uk/

But if you do use Facebook — or if you can share this post with friends, neighbours, or family who do — it really helps us reach more people across Eaglescliffe, especially those who don’t visit the surgery often.

We know parents can have questions about vaccinations. This short video from a GP offers clear, evidence‑based reassurance about vaccine safety and why they remain one of the most effective ways to protect children. If you would like to ask any questions or book your child’s vaccination, please contact the practice and our team will be happy to help.

A GP reassures a parent about vaccinations and the unfounded risks associated with them.
