Last weekend Dr Meshgin presented at a community forum together with Orla, (remember our social worker from a few years ago), on the topic of understanding addictions! Some 50 participants (in person and on line) joined in this session to better understand this topic. Our practice has been highlighting this topic over the last few weeks with resources available in the waiting area. Your GP can support you if you are trying to quit smoking, reduce alcohol or other substance use. Our team is here to help 🙏

Not all heart attacks begin with chest pain ⚠️

People with a heart attack may also experience pain or numbness in the arm, shoulder, neck, jaw or back; nausea and/or vomiting and feel sweaty/dizzy.

Some people experience a heart attack with mild or no symptoms at all.

Being proactive about your heart health means you can find out if you're at risk and reduce the likelihood of a heart attack occurring.

Book a Heart Health Check with your GP today and know your risk. 🩺❤️

Eye tips from optometrist Raj at Livingston Shopping Centre!

🧠 Did You Know? One of the Most Common Causes of Dry Eyes Isn’t Actually About Tears! 👀

At Our practice, one of the most frequent complaints I hear is:

"My eyes feel dry, gritty, tired — especially by the end of the day."

The culprit?
💡 Often it’s Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — a condition where the tiny oil glands in your eyelids get blocked. These oils are crucial for keeping your tears stable and preventing them from evaporating too quickly.

When these glands aren’t working properly, even if your eyes produce tears, they can still feel dry, irritated, and uncomfortable.

✨ The good news? Simple daily habits can help:

Warm compresses to gently heat the eyelids and loosen blockages

Lid massage to stimulate healthy oil flow

In some cases, in-practice treatments may be needed to restore long-term comfort

If you’re constantly reaching for eye drops or rubbing your eyes, don’t ignore the signs!

See comments for examples. :) .
