It's ! Why not have a go at following along with this self-care calendar?

Action for Happiness help people create a happier world, with a culture that prioritises happiness and kindness by providing practical resources and evidence-based skills for happier living.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. When we’re kind to ourselves, we respond more positively to what happens and treat others more kindly too.

Today is the start of 'Know Your Numbers Week' which is a national campaign led by Blood Pressure UK, offering free blood pressure check at drop-in clinics across the country.

On Sunday at Frampton Country Fair, you can take advantage of these free drop-in blood pressure checks. One in three adults has high blood pressure, and many are unaware of the dangers this presents — until it is too late.

Right now, 5 million UK adults aged 18-64 may have undiagnosed high blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Many don’t even know it. That’s why getting a simple blood pressure check at home could literally be a lifesaver.

High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” – no symptoms, just risk. But knowing your numbers gives you the power to act – whether that’s eating less salt, being more active, or starting medication if needed. Age doesn’t matter. Everyone should Know Their Numbers!

September is World Alzheimer's Month.

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer, it’s the largest health and social care issue of our time, yet it isn’t the priority it needs to be. The impact of this is enormous – on the lives of those it affects, on the healthcare system and on the economy.

It’s thought that two out of three people living with dementia in the UK have Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a physical illness which, as it progresses, damages a person’s brain.

There are many ways to help someone to live as well as possible with Alzheimer's disease: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia/treatment-support-alzheimers-disease

Psoriasis affects people of all genders, races and ages, and can appear on various parts of the body at any time. No one really knows what causes it and that’s why it’s so important to understand how to manage it effectively when symptoms arise.

Every individual is unique and finding the right approach can take time. If you’re struggling, book an appointment with your GP or find more information here: https://www.psoriasis.org/

Did you know that August is Hair Loss Awareness Month? You may not know this, but it’s normal to lose around 50-110 hairs per day.

Normally losing extra hair is nothing to worry about, but excessive loss can be a sign of an underlying condition so if you’re worried, it’s important to speak to your Doctor.
https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/hair-loss/

Around 40% of women over the age of 50 experience noticeable hair loss and this can impact on both self-confidence and emotional wellbeing. Here are some tips and ideas on treatment options, and options for support:

Remember if you’re going away this year, particularly around the August Bank Holiday, it’s important to ensure you’ve got enough of your medications to last for your entire trip. Please allow 7 days when you order your prescription. 💊

Why not use your time away this summer to have a social media break? 📱 Evidence suggests that switching off for a period can have a huge positive impact on your mental health. A digital detox can help you to be more present, to focus more on those around you, and it reduces stress and anxiety. Give it a try!

May Lane GP Surgery

May Lane Surgery is a purpose built GP surgery, completed in 1999, that won a civic trust award for its innovative design and use of natural light. It houses two GP practices, Acorn and Walnut, who work closely together but remain separate as they both value the continuity of care small practices can offer patients. We work in partnership to ensure excellent healthcare for all our patients and have a particular interest in promoting health and wellbeing through social prescribing projects.

On our premises we have an independent pharmacy and we maintain close links with community nurses and health visitors. We believe that all patients should be able to source high quality medical care easily and promote good self-care in our patients.

Our latest CQC inspections have given us either good or outstanding assessments and we value our relationship with our Patient Participation Group, who help us to innovate and bring improvements to the care we provide.
