This week is all about raising awareness of obesity and encouraging small, positive steps towards healthier lifestyles - from balanced eating to moving more. Together, we can turn obesity around by understanding how simple changes really do make a difference to our health and wellbeing.

🍎 Healthy Tips to Try:
✔ Choose more fruit, veg and whole foods
✔ Cut back on sugary and high-fat snacks
✔ Keep active - every bit of movement counts
✔ Set realistic goals that fit your life

If you’d like support with weight management or making lifestyle changes, please speak with your GP or one of our practice team - we’re here to help. ❤️

By 2050 as much as 50% of the UK population could be obese, at a cost of £50 billion a year. By 2050 as much as 50% of the UK population could be obese, at a cost of £50 billion a year.

Our hospitals are very busy with long waits in A&E.

You should only be in A&E in a life-threatening emergency.

If it's not an emergency, please contact NHS 111 for advice and support, either by phone by dialling 111 or online at 111.nhs.uk.

December Appointment Summary 🎄

Throughout December, our GP surgery worked hard to provide 3,092 appointments for our patients, ensuring access to care during an especially busy time of year.

Sadly, 126 of these appointments were not attended (DNA) and were not cancelled in advance. Each missed appointment is a lost opportunity for another patient to be seen.

If you’re unable to attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone else.

Thank you to all our patients who attended their appointments or cancelled with notice - your cooperation helps us support our whole community 💙

🎄✨ Elf Update – Goodbye for Now! ✨🎄

It’s time for our naughty elf to pack up his mischief and head back to the North Pole! 🎅❄️
He’s had a very busy December causing chaos around the surgery, and he’s loved every minute of it.

Thank you to all our patients for joining in with the fun, sharing a laugh, and putting up with his cheeky antics. 😄💚

Our elf says goodbye for now… but don’t worry, he promises to be back next year with even more trouble planned! 👀🎁

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at the surgery. 🎄✨

As many of you are already aware, Carol, has now retired after many years of dedicated service.

Carol was more than just a familiar face delivering prescriptions, she built genuine friendships with so many of our patients and was always known for her kindness and friendly smile. She will be greatly missed by both patients and staff alike.

We would like to thank Carol for everything she has done and wish her a long, happy and well-deserved retirement.
