So pleased to have partnered with Home Instead Calderdale to set up our new carers’ wellbeing group 💬☕

A relaxed space for carers to connect, chat and feel supported — with coffee always included ☕
Our Social Prescribing Team are looking forward to the next one🩵

When you're caring for someone with dementia, the support and companionship of other carers can be a real lifeline. That's why we've launched a new monthly group for carers. "Together for Wellbeing" met yesterday at the Project C**t Cafe in Elland. We were joined by healthcare professionals from our local GP surgeries and adult social care - providing advice and support in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. More details of "Together for Wellbeing" on our website. https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/calderdale/blog/together-for-wellbeing-a-new-coffee-morning-for-carers/ Calder & Ryburn Primary Care Network Debs Re-engage Staying Well Calderdale Overgate Hospice

💬 Childhood vaccinations can feel like a loaded topic.
And it’s completely normal to have questions.

Dr Sophie Newton has created a short, pressure-free video explaining:
• what childhood vaccines are designed to do
• the real risks and benefits
• how vaccine safety is monitored
• and why she recommends them in clinic

This isn’t about judgement or telling anyone what to think — it’s about clear, honest information to help you make informed choices for your family.
