September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month. Hereโ€™s what to look out for ๐Ÿ‘‡

The symptoms of thyroid cancer include a lump in your neck, a hoarse voice that lasts for more than three weeks, and a sore throat or difficulty swallowing that doesnโ€™t get better.

These symptoms can be caused by other medical conditions, but itโ€™s important that you get any symptoms checked out by your GP.

We are an Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP practice.

This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services.

This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment.

If you are ex-forces, please let the practice know so we can ensure you are getting the best care possible.

As you probably know, Dr Opher has been elected as our MP.

This will mean that he is resigning from May Lane Surgery partnership.

A huge loss for May Lane and all our patients, but huge congratulations on an amazing achievement โ€“ just what we need to get the NHS back on its feet!

Dr Opher will continue to work ad hoc shifts in the surgery, probably on a monthly basis.

Thanks to Dr Opher for 3 decades of outstanding work โ€“ with all our best wishes

As you will know, Dr Opher is standing to be MP for Stroud constituency at the coming general election.

Now the election has been called, he will not be available until after the election. Plans have been made with the Partners for cover arrangements during this period.

In the event that he is elected to parliament, Dr Opher is planning to continue to do one surgery per week.

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.
