🧘‍♀️Meet the team - Lenka Pagan🕉️

Our holistic health and wellbeing coach, here’s her story told herself:

18 years ago, I’m a student, living the dream. My diet is tinned food, microwave meals, and processed junk. A full-time chocolate addict, I inhale two full bars daily, and honestly, I can't stop.

As I’m staring at the ceiling, the doctors deliver the verdict: irritable bowel syndrome. Now I’m left with the cold truth. My health is my wealth and I’ve been bankrupting myself for years. This has to change.

I transformed my relationship with food. Not just comfort, but fuel. I built my meals from scratch. I hunted down the truth behind every ingredient and food label, cutting through the marketing noise.

Following my illness, I knew I hadn’t just rediscovered my health, I’d discovered my passion. Not only did I devour every book on nutrition I could find, I:

• Trained as a Holistic Health Coach in the USA.
• Certified as an Ashtanga Yoga teacher in India.
• Mastered Nutrition and Fitness Coaching in the UK.
• Studied NLP to unlock how our minds change behaviour.

Fast forward to now, not only did I rediscover my health, I feel better physically and mentally in my forties than I was in my twenties.

I believe there is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel if we keep looking. We are in charge of our own health, our health is our wealth!

Enjoy the journey. I can’t wait to help you along the way!

Those of you who have rung us in the last two weeks would have experienced our AI receptionist.

We’re introducing this to help make our services more accessible for everyone — not just for people who are able to use online forms. Our aim is to give all patients equal access to getting in touch with us, in a way that suits them.

This is very much a work in progress, and we’re learning as we go. We’d really welcome constructive feedback so we can improve the experience and make it work as well as possible for everyone.

Thank you for your patience and support while we test and refine this new system 💙

Unused prescribed medication being wasted costs the NHS millions of pounds every year.

Help us cut down on medicine waste 💊

Every year, a huge amount of perfectly good medicine goes to waste because it's ordered but not used. We want to make sure NHS resources go where they’re needed most, and you can really help us out by following these simple steps:

Check your cupboards before clicking "order" on your repeat prescription.

Only request what you’re actually running low on. You don’t have to tick every box every time.

Keep us in the loop if you’ve stopped taking something or if your dose has changed.

Clear out the old stuff. If you have expired or unwanted meds, please drop them off at the pharmacy so we can dispose of them safely (rather than binning or flushing them).

Thanks for helping us look after the local community! If you have any questions about your meds, we're always happy to help!
