A huge thank‑you to everyone who joined in. Each person made a donation, which will be added to the total we’re proudly raising for LOROS Hospice 💛

Brilliant effort, team — bringing smiles, colour, and kindness to World Book Day!

FUNDRAISING FOR LOROS.

Over the next year Enderby Medical Centre have decided to raise money for LOROS Hospice.

We will be doing various activities throughout the year which staff will donate money to take part in. There will also be activities for patients to get involved in if they wish to.

Next week will be our first two activities! On Monday, we will be doing a guess the number of sweets in the jar game, which will run throughout February. This will be £1 a guess. A small prize will be given to the person whose guess is closest to the actual number.

On Friday 13th we are encouraging all our staff to wear something pink or red and make a donation to LOROS Hospice for doing this.

World Osteoporosis Day, 20th October

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.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporosis/treatment/

Find out about osteoporosis, a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. There is also information on osteopenia, the stage of bone loss before osteoporosis, and how to stop it becoming osteoporosis.
