Thank you for helping us care for you! 🙏

Week commencing 18th August 2025, we will be having building work to the front of the surgery and unfortunately, two of the disabled parking bays will be out of action.

☀️☀️BEAT THE HEAT - STAYING SAFE IN HOT WEATHER ☀️☀️

While many people enjoy warmer summer weather, hot weather can cause some people to become unwell through overheating (becoming uncomfortably hot), dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

☀️ keep out of the sun at the hottest time of the day, between
11am and 3pm

☀️ if you are going to do a physical activity (for example exercise
or walking the dog), plan to do these during times of the day
when it is cooler such as the morning or evening

☀️ keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in
rooms that face the sun

☀️ if you do go outside, cover up with suitable clothing such as
an appropriate hat and sunglasses, seek shade and apply
sunscreen: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/beat-the-heat-hot-weather-advice/beat-the-heat-staying-safe-in-hot-weather

☀️ drink plenty fluids and limit your alcohol intake: Https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/beat-the-heat-hot-weather-advice/beat-the-heat-staying-safe-in-hot-weather

☀️ check on family, friends and neighbours who may be at higher
risk of becoming unwell, and if you are at higher risk, ask them
to do the same for you:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/beat-the-heat-hot-weather-advice/beat-the-heat-staying-safe-in-hot-weather

☀️ know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and
what to do if you or someone else has them:

♦️♦️NHS APP - how you can help the surgery ♦️♦️

One way patients can help the surgery is by signing up to the NHS App (saves telephone & foot traffic and makes communication cost-effective and very quick):

About the NHS App:
The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services. Download the NHS App on your smartphone or tablet via the Google play or App store. You can also access the same services in a web browser by logging in through the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/account/

You must be aged 13 or over to use the NHS App. You also need to be registered with a GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man. Find out more about who can use the NHS App: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/nhs-app-help-and-support/getting-started-with-the-nhs-app/who-can-use-the-nhs-app/

What you can do with the NHS App:
You need to prove who you are: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/nhs-app-help-and-support/getting-started-with-the-nhs-app/proving-who-you-are-to-get-full-access/ to get full access to the NHS App.

With full access you can:
* order repeat prescriptions and nominate a pharmacy where you
would like to collect them

and medicines (if your GP has given you access to your detailed
medical record, you can also see information like test results)

* choose how the NHS uses your data
* view your NHS number (find out what your NHS number is: https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/about-the-nhs/what-is-an-nhs-number/
* use NHS 111 online to answer questions and get instant advice
or medical help near you

If your device supports fingerprint detection or facial recognition, you can use it to log in to your NHS App each time, instead of using a password and security code.
