A series of free workshops for women are taking place in Barnstaple throughout February as the Flourishing Women programme continues.

What is SMARTconsult?

SMARTconsult is an online consultation tool used by your GP practice to help you get the right care more quickly and safely.

It lets you tell the practice what’s wrong at a time that suits you - without needing to phone first.

How does SMARTconsult work?

1. Start online
Visit your GP practice website and click the start eConsultation button.
✔ No app
✔ No account
✔ No login needed

2. Choose your problem
Select the health issue you need help with from a simple list set up by your practice.

3. Answer a few questions
You’ll be asked clear, relevant questions about your symptoms.
The questions adjust based on your answers, so you’re not asked anything unnecessary.

4. Get the right advice
Your answers are securely sent to the practice. If anything urgent is identified, you’ll be told straight away what to do (for example, contact NHS 111 or attend A&E).

5. The practice responds
Your GP practice reviews your information and contacts you with the next steps, which may include:
- Advice
- A prescription
- A test
- A phone or face-to-face appointment

What are the benefits for patients?

✅ Quicker access to care
You can submit your request without waiting on the phone.

✅ Simple and easy to use
No apps, passwords or technical skills needed.

✅ You’re asked the right questions
The system helps you explain your problem clearly so clinicians have the information they need.

✅ Safe and confidential
Designed by UK GPs and based on national clinical guidance.

✅ You still get human care
SMARTconsult does not replace your GP - it helps them help you faster.

Mind’s Time to Talk Day is a reminder that talking really can change lives. Whether you’re feeling lonely around Valentine’s Day, coping with grief or bereavement, or struggling with your mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported.

If you’re waiting for therapy, there are ways to look after yourself, manage difficult feelings and find support in the meantime. Small conversations, with friends, family or professionals, can be a powerful first step towards feeling less alone. 💙🗣️🌱✨

🗣️ Talking about mental illness isn’t always easy.
💜 If someone opens up to you about their diagnosis, know that there is no 'one size fits all' way to support them.
👂 Listening with kindness and responding with compassion is the best way you can help.

World Cancer Day is a chance to raise awareness of cancer prevention, early diagnosis and the importance of national screening programmes for bowel, breast and cervical cancer. Screening can help find changes early, before symptoms appear, when treatment is more likely to be successful. 💙✨

Many people diagnosed with cancer now live longer and better lives thanks to improvements in detection, treatment and support. Understanding risk factors, making healthy lifestyle choices and attending screening when invited can all help reduce risk and improve survival. Support is also available for anyone affected by cancer, from diagnosis through recovery and beyond. 🎗️
