Good luck to our patients and everyone else who is doing this walk for an amazing cause.

I hope you have a tailwind all day:)

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Oakhaven Walk tomorrow!

On Saturday 16th May, over 650 people will be walking to raise funds for Oakhaven Hospice, starting at 3 different locations. Keep an eye out for the Oakhaven Walkers and cheer them on their way!

🩷 Approximately half the walkers are taking up the 26-mile challenge. Starting at Land and Wave in Sandbanks, they will walk around the seafront promenade, past Canford Cliffs, Bournemouth and Southbourne. The walkers will then cross Hengistbury Head and walk around Christchurch and Stanpit Marshes to Mudeford.

💚 At Mudeford, next to Christchurch Harbour, they will be joined by the 13-mile walkers. The walk continues along the coastal paths, past Steamer Point, Friars Cliff and Highcliffe to Barton on Sea.

💛 At Barton on Sea, the 8-mile walkers join the challenge! The walkers will follow the coast path past Hordle Cliff, Milford on Sea and Keyhaven to Lower Pennington in Lymington.
All three walking challenges finish at Oakhaven Hospice.

A big thank you to everyone supporting the walkers tomorrow - if you're out and about please give them a cheer! If you'd like to make a donation to help them on their way, please visit https://www.oakhavenhospice.co.uk/support-the-oakhaven-walkers/

Myself and the clinic dog are doing a day of CPD (continuing professional development) we need to keep up to date in order to keep registration but more importantly to learn

Today’s course is about POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome…a debilitating chronic condition

It is always good to learn new or review old knowledge

As any of you who have been in will know, our reception team is fabulous and friendly, but we need some help so could you be the person we are looking for?

We are looking for a temporary part time receptionist to cover an extended period of sick leave. We need someone 2 half days a week (wednesdays and saturdays), with some cover of other days to help with holiday cover.

If you feel you are interested and could help please contact us at steven@thenewsurgery.com

I am not getting political - but i do love a picture of a dog at a polling station

But I am open to all views - so cats, iguanas or fish allowed too:)

Have fun this election day and I look forward to your pictures

PS no picture of clinic dog at the polling station as a postal vote isn't as photogenic

This is absolutely incredible and in terms of distance running up there with the 4 minute mile

But everyone who runs be it a park run or an ultra or just around the block is doing something incredible

Also no matter what speed you run at you are a runner, so never say I’m slow…you are faster than everyone on the sofa!

It happened!

Sabastian Sawe of Kenya ran the first sub-2:00 marathon on a record-eligible course at this morning’s London Marathon. Sawe’s winning time of 1:59:30 not only took 65 seconds off Kelvin Kiptum’s previous world record, but assures that his name will be legendary for as long as marathons are run.

A team of researchers at Japan’s Keio university have built a robotic tail. Dubbed 'Arque', the grey one-metre device mimics tails such as those of cheetahs ...

Don’t forget to change your clocks tonight, probably best leave the oven though as it will take you the hour we lose to remember how to:)

Enjoy the sunshine

If you look at the news or a large chunk of social media you could be thinking everything is terrible.

However if you get out and walk all of this is on our doorstep, we are so lucky in many ways to live where we do.

Sometimes we can forget, so this is my reminder for you to get out and walk. Help your fitness and calm your nervous system and stimulate your vagus nerve. It is your vagus which helps us relax

You will have heard me talk about the vagus, it’s my favorite nerve!

Spring is here and let’s enjoy the positives
