Did you know that antibiotics don't work for all infections?

They’re only used to treat or prevent infections caused by bacteria. They don't work for viral infections, including colds and flu, and most coughs and sore throats.
Stop the spread of antibiotic resistance – only take them as prescribed by your doctor, pharmacist, nurse or dentist.

🌸 Cervical Screening Awareness Week (16-20th June 2025) 🌸

This week is all about raising awareness of cervical screening (also known as a smear test).

💬 Did you know?

Cervical screening helps prevent cervical cancer by checking for high-risk HPV.

It's offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.

Most results come back normal, but early detection can make all the difference.

📅 If you're due for your screening or have received an invite — don’t delay, book your appointment with our nursing team today. We understand it can feel a bit daunting, but our friendly staff are here to make you feel as comfortable as possible. 💙

📞 Call us on 02920461100 to make an appointment with the nurse.
