๐Ÿฉท Itโ€™s the 1st of the month โ€“ Feel it on the First ๐Ÿฉท

A quick monthly reminder to check your breasts.

Knowing whatโ€™s normal for you helps you spot any changes early.

Look out for:

โ€ข New lumps or thickening
โ€ข Changes in size or shape
โ€ข Skin dimpling or redness
โ€ข Ni**le changes or discharge

If you notice anything unusual, donโ€™t wait โ€“ contact the surgery and weโ€™ll be happy to help.

Early detection really does save lives.

๐Ÿซ Tub2Pub โ€“ Thank You! ๐Ÿซ

A huge thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป to all our patients and staff who have kindly dropped off their empty chocolate tubs as part of the Tub2Pub scheme.

Weโ€™re delighted to say the tubs have already been dropped off at a local Greene King Pub by our own lovely Dawn, ready to start the next part of their journey in support of Macmillan Cancer Support ๐Ÿ’š

Every tub truly makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us support such an important cause and for being such a wonderful community.

You are all stars ๐ŸŒŸ ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Dry January & looking after your wellbeing ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

January can be a great time to pause, reset and reflect on our habits - including alcohol ๐Ÿบ

๐Ÿท Alcohol units explained ๐Ÿท

Alcohol units are a simple way of understanding how much alcohol is in what youโ€™re drinking.

๐Ÿ”นThe NHS recommends no more than 14 units per week, spread over 3 or more days

๐Ÿ”นIf you drink more than this, trying a few alcohol-free days can really help

Did you know?

โ€ข Pint of 3.6% lager = 2 units
โ€ข 250ml glass of wine = 3 units
โ€ข 25ml spirit = 1 unit

Why Dry January ?

Many people notice better sleep, more energy, improved mood and a clearer head - even after a short break from alcohol.

You donโ€™t have to be โ€œall or nothingโ€. Even small changes can make a positive difference to your physical and mental wellbeing ๐Ÿ’š

If youโ€™d like advice or support, please speak to a member of our team - weโ€™re always here to help. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š
