Salt plays an important role in the body, but too much can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Many processed foods contain hidden salt, so itโ€™s easy to consume more than recommended. On the other hand, very low salt levels can sometimes contribute to symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness or fluid balance issues, especially if combined with dehydration.

Staying well hydrated, keeping active and aiming for a balanced diet can help support healthy blood pressure. Understanding how salt affects your body can help you make informed choices. ๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿฉบโœจ

Pharmacy texts for BP checks

Some pharmacies are texting patients for BP checks.
They are using their databases and some relatives are getting distressing texts for relatives who have passed.
reception have had calls from relatives who are distressed by this and it has been raised with the Pharmacy head office.

Of note if you have had you BP checked by ourselves as part of your medication review or your own blood pressure machines that are reliable then you wouldn't need to duplicate the BP check with the chemist as well. By doing this it creates a cost and workload implication for the NHS. These contacts are to encourage patients who might not have had recent checks so may be at risk from sustained damage from undiagnosed hypertension.

If you have any queries you are always welcome to contact us but please be aware that there are lots of NHS contacts these days, not just from ourselves.

Good sleep habits are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking frequently during the night can affect mood, concentration and overall health.

Simple changes like keeping a regular bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, limiting caffeine and creating a calm sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.

Understanding the possible causes of sleep problems and accessing trusted advice can make a real difference. Better sleep supports better days. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Parking Challenges
We have had a few incidents recently that need a little thought from us all: parking at Baldwins Gate Surgery and damage to other vehicles.

Firstly Baldwins Gate carpark being used by people that are not using the surgery (usually for school pick ups). We shouldn't really need to raise this as there are signs on the gate posts. Our staff should not be subject to unpleasantness from people who shouldn't be making use of the car park.
We sort of understand the thoughts but what parents don't realise is that staff are regularly using Baldwins Gate Surgery through the afternoon, we have vaccine deliveries over there, the confidential waste collections and lots of ad hoc work meaning that legitimate staff are unable to park at their place of work and sometimes parents get blocked in such is the urgency of our need.

Secondly where damage is caused to other vehicles. Over 99.9% of all parking is uneventful. If you accidentally damage another person's vehicle please let them know and if they are not available contact reception with your details. It is worth noting that our historic events are often heard or witnessed.

Finally if you are able to walk for your appointments or collections that is not a bad choice and will help reduce pressure on parking for patients who are unable to walk.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness is a reminder to know the symptoms and act early.

Symptoms can be vague and may include:

- persistent bloating
- tummy pain
- feeling full quickly
- needing to wee more often
- unexplained changes in appetite

If you notice ongoing symptoms that are unusual for you, itโ€™s important to speak to your GP. When discussing symptoms, let your doctor know about any family history of cancer, not just ovarian cancer and not only in parents or siblings, as this can help assess your overall risk.

Keeping up to date with cervical screening when invited is also an important part of protecting your gynaecological health. Early action can make a real difference. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉบโœจ
