We are excited to be bringing a day of wellness and social interaction to Beaminster on 8th May from 10.00 - 14.00.
This event will bring together local statutory services alongside Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations to celebrate and showcase the incredible people and groups supporting communities across Beaminster and the wider West Dorset area.

The day will provide welcoming and informal spaces across three venues where local people can explore the wide range of support available to them. It will also feature demonstrations, interactive workshops, and dance and exercise tasters. We strongly believe that community connection plays a vital role in building resilience and improving health and wellbeing, not to mention helping to alleviate loneliness.
We hope to see you there. More details on individual venues to follow...

Huge thanks to Beaminster Town Council, Prout Bridge and Yarn Barton Information Centre for your support.

💗 Cervical Screening – Book Your Appointment 💗

If you’ve received a letter inviting you for cervical screening (smear test), please contact the surgery to book your appointment or book via the link if you have received a link from the practice.

Cervical screening helps prevent cervical cancer by detecting changes early, even if you feel well and have no symptoms. The test is quick, routine, and carried out by our trained clinical team.

📞 Call the surgery or 💻 book online (where available).
If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, our reception team will be happy to help.

Your health matters — please don’t delay.

📢 Important Health Notice for Parents/Guardians/Carers

Nestlé has issued a recall of certain baby formula products, including SMA, BEBA and NAN infant and follow-on formulas, because some batches may contain a toxin (cereulide) that can cause food poisoning symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

If you have bought any of the affected products:
• Do not feed them to infants or young children.
• Check the batch number on the pack and compare it with the recall list on Nestlé’s or the Food Standards Agency’s website - https://www.nestle.co.uk/en-gb/media/sma-infant-formula-follow-on-formula-recall

📞 If you’re concerned about your child’s health after using these products, please get in contact with us or NHS 111 (out of hours) for advice.

The safety and wellbeing of babies is our absolute priority. As a precautionary measure, Nestlé is voluntarily recalling specific batches of its SMA infant formula and follow-on formula.
