Good nutrition and hydration are essential for overall health, energy levels and how your body feels day to day.

Eating a balanced diet with a variety of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and protein helps fuel your body, while drinking enough water supports circulation, digestion and joint health. Hydration also plays a role in keeping connective tissues, including fascia, supple and functioning well. Small, realistic changes to your diet can make a big difference over time, and planning ahead is especially important during periods of fasting to maintain safe hydration and nutrient intake. 🥗💧💙✨

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range 📊

Knowing your BMI can help identify if you may be underweight, overweight or at risk of health conditions linked to weight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

While BMI is a useful starting point, it does not tell the whole story 👇
Waist measurement is also important, as carrying extra weight around your middle can increase your risk of health problems, even if your BMI falls within a healthy range.

Understanding both measurements can help you make informed choices about your health and seek support if needed 💙✨

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

It’s easy to mistake the early signs of meningitis for a common cold or the flu, but things can escalate incredibly quickly. Please take a moment to look over these symptoms—it could literally save a life.

The "glass test" for the rash is a big one, but remember that the rash doesn't always appear, or it might be the last symptom to show. If you or someone you love is unwell and getting worse, don't wait. Seek medical help urgently.

Key symptoms to watch for:

Sudden high fever & severe headache

Stiff neck

Dislike of bright lights

Very cold hands and feet

Confusion or difficulty waking

Stay safe and keep an eye on each other! ❤️

In response to increased number of enquiries regarding Meningitis vaccines please see below information:

The MenB vaccine was only introduced into the childhood vaccination schedule in September 2015. If your child was born before 1st May 2015, there is currently no catch-up programme/plan available on the NHS.

Only those deemed at high risk in the hall of residence where confirmed cases have come from in Kent are being vaccinated.

The only circumstances we can offer the MenB vaccine is if a patient has no spleen or if there are changes to the current vaccination programme and a country wide catch-up programme is initiated.

The MenACWY vaccine is available to children currently in years 9 and 10 and is given via the school immunisation service. A catch-up programme is in place for patients under 25 who have not been given this vaccination at school.

If your child is still in education, please contact the school immunisation team for vaccination. Catch up post-education up to 25 can be given at the surgery.

If you are unsure if your child has had this vaccination, you can find this via the NHS app or contact the surgery for further advice.
