💉 Walk-In Flu & COVID Jabs Are Back! 💉

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent walk-in vaccine clinics and shared such helpful feedback! 🩵
Many of you told us how much you liked the flexibility, so we’re bringing the clinics back!
We’ll be running walk-in flu and COVID vaccine clinics every day this coming week from 9am to 12 noon.
With flu and COVID cases on the rise, now’s a great time to get protected.
No need to book – just pop in and get your jab!* 💪

*Subject to eligibility. If you have received a text message from the surgery, you are eligible. If you haven't, you are not eligible at this stage but we will update you via text should the criteria change. Thank you

The outage remains. We still cannot access patient records, without which we cannot carry out consultations or book patients in. If you had a pre-booked appointment between now and 10am, please DO NOT attend the surgery for it - we will reschedule it for you later once we are back online. Thank you

🚨 PLEASE NOTE: there is currently no internet access in the area, meaning that the surgery cannot access our computer systems. **Therefore we cannot book anyone in for appointments**
If you have a pre-booked appointment between now and 9am, please DO NOT attend. We will reschedule it for you later.
For appointments from after 9am, please follow here for updates.
We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause. Unfortunately it’s entirely outside of our control.

🌸 Bake Sale for Epilepsy Society 🌸

Where: Hoyland Medical Practice
When: Thursday 18th September, 10am -12.30pm

We’re excited to be holding a bake sale at the surgery to raise funds for the Epilepsy Society. 💜

Epilepsy affects over 600,000 people in the UK – that’s 1 in every 100 of us. It doesn’t just impact those living with the condition, but also their families, friends, and communities.

Epilepsy Society is a UK charity leading the way in supporting and advocating for people with epilepsy, funding research, and providing care.

By joining us, you’ll not only enjoy some delicious homemade treats from members of our team, but also help us make a real difference. 🍰🧁

✨ Let’s make the day a little sweeter – together. ✨

🌍 International Collaboration in Primary Care

Our practice recently welcomed Dr. Bakhit, an international doctor, for a clinical attachment. During this placement, Dr. Bakhit undertook a study on how we can improve the early identification of ‘red flag’ symptoms in patients presenting with a red eye.
Her work will help us spot serious eye problems sooner and ensure that patients get the right care quickly.
We look forward to working with more colleagues from across the globe to share knowledge and learning across healthcare systems.

📚✏️ Back to School – A Healthy Start

With children having returned to school, we know it’s an exciting but sometimes stressful time for families. A few quick reminders to help young people start the term happy and healthy:

✅ Immunisations – Make sure your child is up to date with their vaccines. If you’re unsure, check their red book or contact us.
✅ Healthy habits – Encourage good sleep routines, balanced meals, and regular handwashing to help fight off those back-to-school bugs.
✅ Asthma & allergies – If your child uses inhalers, auto-injectors, or other medication, check they’re in date and let the school know about their care plan (if applicable).
✅ Mental wellbeing – Starting a new school year can feel overwhelming. Talk to your child about their worries, and check out the links in the comments section if you feel extra support might be needed

The whole team at Hoyland Medical Practice wishes all pupils, parents and staff a smooth and healthy start to the school year! 🍎✨

🎨 Health Tip of the Week: Fun & Healthy Holiday Activities for Kids! 🌿

It can be hard to juggle work and childcare during the holidays, and expensive too. But even low-key, low-cost activities can make a big difference to children’s wellbeing (and yours too!). Try these simple ideas that support both physical and mental wellbeing:

🧺 Picnic & Park Play – Pack a healthy lunch and head to a local green space for games and fresh air
🎨 Creative Hour – Arts, crafts, or baking help develop fine motor skills and calm busy minds
🚲 Wheels Time – Bike rides or scootering are great for exercise and fun
🌧️ Indoor Treasure Hunt – Perfect for rainy days, and keeps them moving and thinking
🥕 Healthy Snack Challenge – Let them help prepare colourful fruit or veg snacks
📚 Library Trips – Keep little minds engaged and support quiet downtime

Small, structured activities can help keep children active, balanced, and happy throughout the break - and maintain some degree of routine in preparation for school reopening.
Don’t forget to make time for yourself, too - easier said than done of course!

Please remember to safely dispose of your medications. Returning unwanted medicines (prescribed or over-the-counter) to your local pharmacy is the safest way of disposing of them, and protects and environment.
