We have one of our nursing team leaving us on Thursday this week. Maria has been with us for over two years. She leaves to spend more time with family in Italy, but will still be living locally and so may be doing some sessions for us from time to time. We have a new nurse Chrissie, joining the team early February who will lead on respiratory conditions. We wish both employees all the best.

Your GP a nag? Surely NOT 😜

Hypertension, more commonly known as high blood pressure, is a very common condition that affects many adults, often without causing any noticeable symptoms. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. When this pressure is consistently too high, it can put extra strain on your heart and blood vessels.

Blood pressure is measured using two numbers:

1) Systolic pressure (the top number): the pressure when your heart beats
2)Diastolic pressure (the bottom number): the pressure when your heart rests between beats

Hypertension is usually diagnosed when blood pressure readings are consistently 140/90 mmHg or higher (or 135/85 mmHg if measured at home).

Why does hypertension matter?
If left untreated, high blood pressure can increase the risk of serious health problems, including:
- Heart disease and heart attacks
- Stroke
- Kidney disease
- Vision problems

Many people can control their blood pressure through healthy lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, reducing salt intake, stopping smoking, and limiting alcohol. Some people may also need medication prescribed by their GP.

If you have concerns about your blood pressure or would like it checked, please speak to a member of our practice team.

💤 Healthy Sleep = Happy Kids 💤🌙

As parents, we all want our kids to be healthy, happy, and full of energy. One of the simplest ways to support your child’s wellbeing is by making sure they get enough sleep. Healthy sleep helps with everything from mood and concentration to growth and immune health.

🛏️ How Much Sleep Do Children Need?
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10-13 hours per night
School-age kids (6–12 years): 9-12 hours per night
Teens (13-18 years): 8-10 hours per night

The NHS recommends sticking to these guidelines for optimal health and development. Sleep is when your child’s body and brain recharge, repair, and grow. 🧠✨

⏰ Tips for Encouraging Healthy Sleep Habits:
Create a calming bedtime routine – A regular wind-down routine helps signal that it’s time for sleep.

Limit screen time before bed – Avoid screens 1 hour before sleep to help your child’s body produce the right hormones for rest.

Make the sleep environment cosy – A dark, quiet, and cool room helps promote deep sleep.

Be mindful of naps – While naps are great, try to ensure they don’t affect night-time sleep.

Have you recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?
You could join a new study and help to improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
People diagnosed with diabetes have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer,
which has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, making it more difficult to
diagnose.
SAFE-D is a clinical study evaluating a new blood test to detect the very early signals of
pancreatic cancer in people with a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
If you’re aged 50-84 and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last 6 months ,
you may be eligible to take part in this ground-breaking research!
For more information and to register your interest, visit the SAFE-D website – www.safe-d.uk
