🧡 This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week 🧡

Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder, and millions more who support them feel the impact too.

Eating disorders can be deeply isolating, but connecting with others who understand can be life-changing. Even a single meaningful connection—whether your community is one person or many—can bring hope, strength, and the reminder that you are not alone.

If you need support, remember you can book an appointment with a GP. Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, also has a range of resources, including a helpline, that you can access here 👉

💚 Please Return Your Blood Pressure Monitor 💚

Dear patients,

We are pleased to provide blood pressure monitors for home use to help you manage your health. However, many monitors are not being returned.

If you’ve finished using your monitor, please bring it back to the surgery as soon as possible. Returning it allows us to continue lending to other patients who need it. ✅

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us provide the best care for our community. 🙏

👋 Meet Our Clinical Pharmacist

Kathy Davies is the surgery’s clinical pharmacist and an important member of the care team. She works closely with our GPs and is a specialist in medicines and how they work.

You may be invited to book a structured medication review with Kathy. These appointments give you time to talk through your medicines, ask questions, and discuss how you’re getting on, including any concerns or side effects.

Clinical pharmacists are highly trained professionals, registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. Seeing a clinical pharmacist complements GP care and can help you get the right support sooner and more easily.

🚫 Missed Appointments Matter 🚫

In January, we had 35 missed appointments, adding up to 704 minutes of wasted clinical time — this is significantly more than in previous months.

If you can’t attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible, even if it’s only a few hours beforehand. This allows us to offer the slot to another patient who may be waiting.

By cancelling appointments you no longer need, you’re helping us use NHS time and resources more effectively. Thank you for your support 💙

💡 New HPV Information Website 💡
There’s a new trusted website with clear, easy-to-understand information about Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
HPV is very common and most people will come into contact with it at some point. While it often causes no symptoms, some types can lead to health problems, which is why vaccination and screening are so important.
🔍 HPVinform.com explains:
• What HPV is and how it spreads
• The HPV vaccine and who it’s recommended for
• Screening programmes, including cervical screening
• Common myths and FAQs
