Balderton Surgery Christmas night out 🎄✨

A lovely evening with a great team — good food, plenty of laughs, and festive cheer all round. ❤️

12/12/2025

We are now offering coil fitting, coil removal and coil replacement appointments at Balderton Surgery with Belinda, our Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

A coil or IUD/S (intrauterine device) is a small plastic T-shaped device that a doctor or nurse puts into your womb (uterus).

You can choose between an IUD with hormones or without hormones, depending on the indication.

Both the hormonal and non-hormonal coils can be used for contraception. The hormonal coil can also be used to manage heavy, painful periods and for HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).

If you would like more information or would like to book a coil fitting/removal, you will first need to book a telephone pre-assessment appointment. Following this, you will then be offered an appointment for the fitting/removal.

If you wish to discuss the above with Belinda, please request this via the non-urgent pathway on the Evergreen app, or contact the surgery, and our reception team will happily do this on your behalf.

Patient Announcement: Future Surgery Events

Following our recent event last Friday in support of Prostate Cancer Awareness.

The event was advertised twice on our social media platforms in the days leading up to the event. In addition, an SMS message was scheduled to be sent to all patients aged 18 and over. Unfortunately, we have been made aware that some patients received their SMS after the event had already taken place, which appears to have been caused by a delay within the messaging system.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

To prevent this from happening in the future, all SMS notifications for surgery events will now be sent at least one week in advance. This change will allow additional time to account for any unexpected delays and ensure all patients receive timely updates.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Abbey - Assistant Practice Manager

After our Prostate Cancer Awareness Day, we were delighted to welcome so many patients who popped in to say hello, pick up leaflets, and have a chat with Dr Patel. Today was all about raising awareness of the prostate—what to look out for, understanding symptoms, and knowing when to seek help.

If patients had any concerns or symptoms, Dr Patel was on hand to discuss these, as well as to go through the forms required for a PCA check and to provide clear information about prostate health.

A huge thank-you to Dr Patel for coming in on a non-working day to offer such valuable support. Thank you also to Sally from Macmillan for being onsite to guide and inform, and to Helen for your ongoing dedication—our patients always appreciate your warm and positive attitude.💙

05/12/2025

Come and pop down to say hello! 👋
Dr. Patel is on site today to answer any questions you may have, along with Sally from Macmillan and Helen, our surgery social prescriber.

We’d love to see you!🙂
