📢 We’re changing our online consultation system from date
We will be moving from PATCHS to a new system called SystmConnect from 1st June 2026.

SystmConnect will make it easier and quicker for you to send routine requests to the practice. It links straight to your GP record, is simpler to use and helps our team deal with requests more safely and efficiently.

PATCHS was given to all Wakefield practices to use, but after listening to feedback from patients, our PPG and staff, we’ve chosen a system that works better for our practice.

👉 When the change goes live, just use the same links on our website, they’ll take you to SystmConnect instead of PATCHS.

⚠️ Please remember: do not use SystmConnect for urgent, same day problems. Call the practice so we can help you straight away.

Stress Awareness Month is a time to recognise the signs of burnout and take steps to protect your mental wellbeing.

Burnout can build up over time and may leave you feeling physically and emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, less motivated or struggling to concentrate. Recognising the early signs and taking action can help prevent things from getting worse.

Common signs of burnout include:
• Constant tiredness or lack of energy 😴💤
• Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope 😣💭
• Reduced motivation or productivity 📉💼
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions 🧠⚠️
• Changes in sleep or mood 🌙💙

Taking regular breaks, setting boundaries, speaking to someone you trust and seeking support can all help you manage stress more effectively. You are not alone, and help is available. 💙🌿✨

Using online access means you can:
• Contact your GP about a health problem quickly and easily 💻📱✨

Keeping up with screen time recommendations can feel like a full-time job! 📱 Here are a few key pointers to help keep your little ones’ development on track:

Age Matters: Try to avoid screens entirely for under-2s. For children aged 2–5, aiming for no more than an hour a day is a great goal.

Quality over Speed: Look for slow-paced, predictable programmes. Fast, "viral-style" videos can be a bit too much for young brains and may affect their concentration later on.

Watch Together: Whenever possible, watch with them! It turns screen time into social time and gives you a chance to chat about what’s happening.

Device-Free Zones: Swapping tablets for a story at bedtime or a chat at mealtime makes a world of difference.

Remember, our little ones are like sponges—they’re watching how we use our phones, too! 🧠✨

Good nutrition and hydration are essential for overall health, energy levels and how your body feels day to day.

Eating a balanced diet with a variety of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and protein helps fuel your body, while drinking enough water supports circulation, digestion and joint health. Hydration also plays a role in keeping connective tissues, including fascia, supple and functioning well. Small, realistic changes to your diet can make a big difference over time, and planning ahead is especially important during periods of fasting to maintain safe hydration and nutrient intake. 🥗💧💙✨

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range 📊

Knowing your BMI can help identify if you may be underweight, overweight or at risk of health conditions linked to weight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

While BMI is a useful starting point, it does not tell the whole story 👇
Waist measurement is also important, as carrying extra weight around your middle can increase your risk of health problems, even if your BMI falls within a healthy range.

Understanding both measurements can help you make informed choices about your health and seek support if needed 💙✨
