🚧 Roadworks in south Carlisle 🚧

We’re giving you the heads up about road works that will take place on key routes in south Carlisle over the coming weeks.

📍 Eastern Way bridge repairs – until 26 June
📍 Warwick Road gas works – 11 May to 24 June

Both schemes will use multi-way traffic lights, so delays are likely, especially at peak times.
✅ Allow extra time
✅ Travel outside peak times where possible
✅ Follow signed diversions
🚌 You may also wish to consider using one of our enhanced bus routes – view timetables here:
👉 www.cumberland.gov.uk/bus-timetables

Thanks for your patience while both NGN and our highways teams carry out these important improvements 👍

PS: We know this will cause delays at times. Eastern Way works have been extended due to additional repairs, and the gas works on Warwick Road are essential, having been postponed from last year and timed around the football season at Carlisle United. FULL DETAILS are on the press release which is in the first comment - thank you.

General practice has had to evolve over the years - adapting to increasing demand, digital change, and much more.

This time, they're speaking candidly about how things have changed from doctors’ notes and generational shifts, to the increasing detail now required in modern general practice.

💬 A behind-the-scenes discussion offering real insight into how primary care continues to evolve to manage modern demand.

👍🏼👇🎂

Thirty years ago, a small group of Cumbrian GPs sat down to solve a problem. How could they make sure no patient in the county went without care when their surgery was closed?

That cooperative has grown into Cumbria Health: 670 people, six GP practices, 17 clinical sites, and care reaching 528,000 people across 2,613 square miles of one of England's most rural counties.

This month we're telling the whole story, day by day. The people, the milestones, the moments that made us. We hope you'll celebrate three decades of care with us.

Let’s go behind the scenes in general practice and do a little myth busting in this new clip from the latest episode of The 20 Minute Clinic podcast from Myhealthncumbria, features Sharon McCubbing in conversation with Dr Amit Paik.

They explore changing perceptions of receptionists and why the full scope of their role in primary care isn’t always recognised.

💬 This episode shines a light on the vital work happening behind the scenes to keep services running every day.
