OUTSTANDING!!!!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that our latest CQC report gave us an overall GOOD but importantly an OUTSTANDING in responsiveness!!!

This is a true reflection of how our team really
care for our patients. I could not be prouder to be part of such a committed group of people .
An outstanding is incredibly hard to achieve (only one other practice in Havering has historically managed the same).

Another thank you to our patients who we work in partnership with and allow us to love our jobs as much as we do.

IRON and DIET
If iron deficient (Ferritin < 30) then you are 1000mg of iron behind
Diet alone will not suffice as normal absorption of iron is LOW.

One 325-mg ferrous sulfate tablet ≈ 13 mg absorbed iron
=🥩 3.3 lb steak = 🥬 18 lb spinach

Here 1Kg of spinach and there is more iron in Prof's left hand :-( !
( like or not those are the facts)
(Steak assumes ~25% heme absorption; spinach ~5% non-heme)

You cannot eat your way out of and do need treatment dose Oral iron tablets 200-300mg once a day (works out to about 200-240mg absorbed per month so you need 4-6 months treatment)

Food is important, but for iron deficiency, tablets are doing a very different job
