Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is a reminder of the importance of taking steps to protect your health. Cervical screening helps detect abnormal cells before they can turn into cancer, and attending when invited can save lives.

Understanding the facts, challenging common myths and knowing what to expect from screening can help reduce anxiety and encourage more people to attend. Reliable information and support are available to help you make informed choices about your cervical health. 💗🩺✨

We are missing an Amazon delivery, which is showing as delivered last Thursday but is not here. I am just wondering on the off chance if this was delivered to anyone else on Neasham Road by any chance? These are not personal items, but equipment needed for the surgery. Thank you

Good morning. Some of you may have been contacted with regard to your appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants today. Unfortunately due to an accident, she will be off for some time. We will also be contacting those with upcoming appointments.

We will, where possible, rebook your appointments but please allow us some time to source additional staff and move other appointments. Thank you for your patience. I am sure you wish our staff member well in her recovery.
