Is your child behind on their vaccinations?

Measles, Mumps and Rubella spread easily between people and can lead to serious problems including meningitis, blindness and hearing loss.

Please ring the surgery to book.

We are seeing a rise in measles cases in parts of England.

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect children from serious illness.

We’re encouraging parents to check their children are up to date with their vaccinations. Check your child's red book or speak to their GP practice.

A patient called the surgery this morning to say someone called Kevin Wood had called her from here trying to sell her a prescription for Ashwanga for £29. ( We don't have anyone with that name) He asked for the patients card details or for her to pay at the counter but luckily she did not give any details over the phone.
He gave her a number to call but the number is now out of service!
Please be aware - we will NEVER call and ask for money.
Please share to friends and family.

As we begin a new week, Hull Royal Infirmary continues to be exceptionally busy (Opel 4), particularly in the Emergency Department.

Patients who turn up without serious or life-threatening illnesses or injuries are likely to be waiting a long time to be seen.

Please try NHS111 first for guidance unless it is a serious or life-threatening illness. You can also try urgent treatment center's or your local pharmacy. We will of course continue to see the same things we always do.

NHS cancer screening programmes can help to diagnose cancer or risk of cancer earlier and improve the likelihood of successful treatment. There are three national cancer screening programmes in England.

Cervical screening
Breast screening
Bowel screening.

Cervical screening
The NHS cervical screening programme in England is offered to people with a cervix aged from 25 to 64. Routine screening is offered every 5 years now for these ages providing your last test is normal. (for those whose last normal test was after 1/7/25)
Cervical screening uptake in England is around 69% for eligible women (25-64 years old) as of 2023-2024, showing a decline from previous years, with younger women (25-49) having lower rates (around 66%) than older women (50-64, around 74%).
You will receive notification on your NHS app when you are due, followed by a letter if no response. The practice also contact patients to try and book.
If you have missed your screening, you don't need to wait until you are next called. Please ring the surgery to book.

Breast screening
About 1 in 7 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. If it’s detected early, treatment is more successful and there’s a good chance of recovery. Breast screening is offered to women aged 50 to their 71st birthday in England. You’ll first be invited for screening within three years of your 50th birthday. The screening procedure itself takes around six minutes and a full mammogram appointment usually takes no longer than 30 minutes. Breast screening is able to detect changes in the breasts very early, before they can be felt or seen.
East Riding of Yorkshire had a high breast cancer screening uptake of 80.8% for women aged 53 to 71 in data covering 2021-2024.
If you have any queries about the breast screening programme, questions about your appointment or when you will be due for screening, please telephone us on 01482 622300

Bowel screening
Bowel cancer survival is improving and has more than doubled in the last 40 years in the UK. If diagnosed early, more than 90% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully. Screening programmes test to see if people show any early signs of cancer. By detecting bowel cancer at an early stage, treatment has a better chance of working. It's offered to people aged 50 to 74.
UK bowel cancer screening uptake in 2024 hovered around 68-72%.
If you have lost the kit sent to you in the post, please ring Tel: 0800 7076060.

The benefits of having a screening test

Screening can detect a problem early, before you have any symptoms.
Finding out about a problem early can mean that treatment is more effective.
Finding out you have a health problem or an increased chance of a health problem can help people make better informed decisions about their health.
Screening can reduce the chance of developing a condition or its complications.
Some deaths from bowel cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer can be prevented.

From October 1, 2025, GP practices in England were required to switch on online consultation tools for patients to request appointments, ask questions, or describe symptoms throughout the day. This change was part of the 2025/26 GP contract.

The practice has noticed a lot less of the 8am rush on phone lines, so this should free up the phone lines for the elderly and those that cannot go online.

Each day we have 2 doctors who go through the online forms and decide how best to manage each request.

Some interesting statistics which may interest you are how many requests we get each day. These figures were taken over 1 week only, however we have noticed a trend in the figures on a weekly basis.
Monday - 266 requests
Tuesday 133 requests
Wednesday - 118 requests
Thursday - 123 requests
Friday - 109 requests

Monday has over double the amount of requests to the other days.

Bearing this in mind as a patient if something is not urgent for a Monday, it may benefit you to complete the triage form on one of the other days. Your triage is likely to get dealt with quicker.

Not all patients will require an appointment who fill out a triage request but Mondays are likely to fill up with appointments quicker than the other days.

The online consultation form is available between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday and is available here : https://www.manorroadsurgery.nhs.uk/
