“Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer”

Approximately 10% to 20% of people who develop lung cancer have never smoked.

So it’s important to know the signs of lung cancer even if you’re not a smoker🚭

Treatments for lung cancer are improving all the time. Many people go on to live a normal life after treatment - finding it early can make all the difference.

If you have:
🫁Coughing
🫁Breathlessness
🫁Unexplained weight loss

please contact your GP to get it checked out🩺

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most significant threats to public health today. When bacteria and other microbes become resistant to antibiotics, common infections and routine procedures become riskier and harder to treat.
As a GP practice, we play a key role in antimicrobial stewardship — ensuring antibiotics are prescribed and used appropriately to protect their effectiveness for the future.

A Public Health England and NHS campaign to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance.

📢 We’re hitting the road to raise awareness about (also known as cancer of the food pipe) and persistent heartburn.

This October, we’re teaming up with Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance and will be out in the community to talk about persistent heartburn and why it shouldn’t be ignored.

🚏Tesco, Middleton, Mon, 6 Oct 2025, 10:30am-6pm,
🚏 Tesco Irlam, Tue 7 Oct 2025, 10:30am-6pm
🚏 Tesco Stretford, Wed 8 Oct 2025, 10:30am-6pm
🚏 Asda Moss Bank Way, Bolton, Thurs 9 Oct 2025, 10:30am-6pm
🚏 Tesco Leigh, Fri 10 Oct 2025, 10;30am-6pm
🚏 And more dates coming soon….

We are inviting members of the public to come and chat with us, ask questions, and find out why ongoing heartburn isn’t just an inconvenience - it could be a warning sign.

❤️‍🔥 Remember, PERSISTENT heartburn is not normal. Don’t keep buying antacids (like Gaviscon or Rennie). Get it checked by your GP. It might just save your life.
