Just a reminder, we are unable to take prescription requests over the telephone.
The NHS app allows you to easily request your repeat medication through your phone at anytime. It allows for a quick and efficient process for patients to order and view their prescriptions. 💊
You can still order your medication through your pharmacy and by filling out a prescription request form at our reception if the app isn't an option for you.

Please see the link below for more information on the NHS app and prescriptions.

The 7th to the 13th of July is Alcohol Awareness Week 2025!
This year the topic for alcohol awareness week focuses on the correlation between alcohol and the workplace.
Whether its the pressures at work leading you to drink more, or the alcohol based work social events, drinking alcohol regularly can have a negative impact on your work performance due to the physical and mental effects this can have on your body.
But shifting the focus from alcohol to what truly matters – like our relationships, health, and hobbies – can be a powerful first step in bringing about change and boosting our wellbeing, connections, and productivity.

For further information on alcohol awareness week and this years theme, please see the links below.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it leads to approximately 685 deaths a year in England.

The NHS Cervical Screening Programme currently recommends cervical screening every three years for women aged 25-49 and every five years for those aged 50-64.

Most cervical cancers occur in those who have never accessed cervical screening or do not attend for regular screening.

Here at Crown Heights Medical Centre, we send out regular invitations to patients who are due for their cervical smear, while also sending out regular reminders. If you receive these, please do not hesitate to get this booked in so you can get your cervix checked for any abnormalities and to help stop cancer developing.

Please contact the surgery if you believe you are due a cervical smear test but have not yet received an invite.

For more information on cervical screening, please see the link below. 🫶
