Novo Nordisk has launched a recycling program called PenCycle for their pre-filled diabetes and weight management pens.

The program allows patients can recycle their used pens, by taking them to participating pharmacies.

This free service is offered at both Filey and Hunmanby Boots Pharmacies, more information can be found at https://www.boots.com/boots-recycling-scheme/pencycle-recycling-scheme

Novo Nordisk pens have been specifically designed to ensure that very little material is wasted. By returning your used pens you can be certain that they are repurposed, helping reduce the number of medical pens taken to landfill each year.♻️

People with dementia can sometimes start to wander. This might only be into the garden or street for a short time, but sometimes people get lost and go missing.

The Herbert Protocol is a nationwide scheme adopted by all UK police forces with the aim of reducing the risk of harm to someone living with Dementia who may go missing, by enabling swift access to key information that can help the police find the person more quickly.

Carers, family or friends of a vulnerable person, or the person themselves, can fill in a Herbert Protocol form in advance, containing information to help the police if the person goes missing.

We have previously requested a hard copy of the form is completed by their carer, updated regularly and produced to Police on request.

Earlier this year, we started working in partnership with Safe & Found Online (SAFO) who offer an editable, digital copy of the form.

Should a person suffering from Dementia, be reported as a missing person, we will be able to access the information which has been recorded on the form, immediately.

You can find more information or access the form via: https://safeandfoundonline.co.uk/index.html

In partnership with Humber Health, we're bringing the Hepatitis C testing bus to our Northway clinic in Scarborough.

It'll be there from 3pm until 6pm tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd July 2025.

Hepatitis C is a virus that can infect the liver. If left untreated, it can sometimes cause serious and potentially life-threatening damage to the liver over many years.

You can get Hepatitis C:
🦠 through unprotected s*x where blood was drawn by both parties
🦠 by having an unlicensed tattoo or piercing
🦠 from a needle stick injury, or through sharing needles
🦠 by having medical or dental treatment abroad
🦠 by sharing razors or toothbrushes that may have blood on

If you're concerned and would like to get tested, come down and see us. We'll give you a £5 voucher to say thank you!
