At the beginning of March, our team came together for a 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, where staff baked a fantastic selection of cakes and enjoyed a well-deserved treat together.

Thanks to everyone who baked, donated and took part, we are pleased to say that we 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 £𝟖𝟒.𝟔𝟎 for 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. 🎉

Every contribution helps Macmillan continue their incredible work supporting people living with cancer and their families.

A big thank you to our wonderful team for getting involved and supporting such an important cause. 💚

𝐅𝐀𝐐 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 📆

We understand that many patients feel more comfortable seeing a particular GP, and where possible, we will always try to accommodate requests for a GP of choice. Continuity of care is important, especially for ongoing or complex health concerns.

However, there are times when this may not be possible due to GP availability, annual leave, clinical workload, or the urgency of your condition. In these situations, you may be offered an appointment with another member of our clinical team to ensure you receive timely care.

Please be assured that all of our GPs and clinicians work closely together and have access to your medical records, so you will continue to receive safe and appropriate care.

🚭 𝐍𝐨 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🚭

Today we’re supporting 𝐍𝐨 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲 – a great opportunity to take the first step towards becoming smoke-free.

Smoking remains one of the biggest causes of preventable illness in the UK, increasing the risk of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, lung disease and cancer. The good news is that it’s never too late to quit – and the benefits start within hours of stopping.

Quitting can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. There is free support available through the NHS, including advice, stop smoking services and treatments that can significantly increase your chances of success.

You can find helpful information and support via 𝐍𝐇𝐒 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 – 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠:
👉 https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/

If you would like support with stopping smoking, please get in touch with the surgery and we’ll be happy to help.

💚 One small step today could make a big difference to your future health.
