🚲✨ A little Call the Midwife inspiration at Sullivan Way Surgery!

We’ve invested in wellbeing bikes for our team, so you may spot staff enjoying a cycle on their lunch breaks — or even one of our GPs heading out on a home visit on two wheels.

Just like in Call the Midwife, caring for our community sometimes means slowing down, getting outside, and staying connected to the people we serve. These bikes support staff wellbeing, greener travel, and healthy habits — all of which help us look after our patients better.

So if you see a Sullivan Way bike around the neighbourhood, give a wave 👋 — it’s healthcare with a little pedal power!

It can be uncomfortable to open up and share how we’re really feeling. But talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone.

👉 Those big conversations can feel heavy. Awkward. Risky.
But they don’t have to be faced alone.
