🧠💥 What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? Professor David Scott, Consultant Rheumatologist, explains it clearly:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune condition that primarily affects the joints - especially in the hands and feet 🙌🦶. It can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and fatigue, and it can deeply impact daily life 😓

But here’s the good news - with the right treatment and support, RA doesn’t have to define you. You can still work, stay active, and live well 💪🌈

🩺 The NHS is under pressure — but you can help.

In General Practice, demand is now higher than ever. That means longer waits, growing pressure on our teams, and sometimes, frustration for patients too.

But help is available — and it might not always mean seeing a GP.

🎥 Watch this short video: "Right Care, First Time"

It explains why other skilled healthcare professionals – like pharmacists, nurses, physios, mental health workers and more – may be the best and fastest route to the care you need.

👨‍⚕️ Your GP team includes many experts – all here to help.

Let’s make sure everyone gets the right care, first time.
✅ Be kind.
✅ Be informed.
✅ Be part of the solution.

🧠💬 This World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in on each other - a simple conversation can make a world of difference 🌍❤️

Here’s how to support someone who might be struggling:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space with no distractions - be fully present 🤝
2️⃣ Listen without interrupting and ask thoughtful questions 👂❓
3️⃣ Ask how you can help - it might be booking a GP appointment, helping with chores, or just being there 🫶

📱 Remember: social media isn’t always real.
Feeling low? It’s OK to log off. It’s OK to not be OK all the time.
Less screen time = more time to breathe, reflect, and reset 🌿💚

💡 Mental health matters every day.
Small actions = BIG impact.

*Covid vaccination Autumn / Winter 2025 - IMPORTANT UPDATE*

We have been receiving a lot of calls from people attempting to book covid vaccinations. ALL eligible patients should be contacted by our team, we obviously have a lot of patients to get through, so please DO NOT call the surgery if you have not heard anything as you are likely to be contacted in the next few weeks.

Please note that the eligibility criteria HAS CHANGED from last year to focus on those at highest risk and therefore some people who were eligible last year will not be eligible at this stage.

ONLY people in the eligible groups listed below will be able to have their vaccinations, please do not contact the surgery about vaccination if you are not in one of these groups*.

For autumn 2025, COVID-19 vaccination will be offered to:
- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in care homes for older adults
- individuals who are immunosuppressed, aged 6 months and over

More information can be found at the NHS Covid website: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/

*This criterion represents a change from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and all those aged 6 months and those with chronic illnesses, but these groups are currently no longer eligible.
