❄️ Winter Pressures: A Reminder to Be Kind 💙

As we enter one of the busiest periods of the year, our whole team is working exceptionally hard to support patients through winter illnesses, seasonal viruses, and high demand across the NHS.

We fully understand that delays and limited appointment availability can be frustrating — especially when you or your family are unwell. However, in recent weeks we’ve seen a rise in rude, aggressive, and unkind behaviour towards both our reception staff and clinicians.

👉 Our reception team and clinical staff are here to help you.
👉 They follow essential processes to ensure you get the safest, most appropriate care.
👉 They do not deserve to face disrespect, raised voices, or aggression.

Verbal abuse towards any member of our team will not be tolerated.

A small act of patience or kindness can make a huge difference — especially during the winter months when the entire NHS is under immense pressure.

Thank you for treating our team with the respect they deserve so we can continue providing the best care possible.

Osteoporosis affects over 500 million people worldwide yet it remains severely underdiagnosed and undertreated – especially among those who have already sustained fragility fractures. Now is the time to ‘Take Action on Bones’. Look out for the signs, and if you’re concerned, do ask your doctor.
🌐https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporosis/

If you have osteoporosis, treatments can include medication to strengthen your bones. You can also help to manage your condition with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, including weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening activities, along with a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D or supplements, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol.

Did you know that dementia is not actually a disease itself?

Dementia is a collection of symptoms that result from damage to the brain caused by different diseases, such as Alzheimer's.

These symptoms vary according to the part of the brain that is damaged.

Different types of dementia can affect people differently, and everyone will experience symptoms in their own way.

However, there are some common early symptoms that may appear some time before a diagnosis of dementia.
