🟠 Where Now? Course: 7 week course (Booking required) 🟠

The end of treatment can bring a mix of relief and concerns about the future. Maggie's has developed 'Where Now?' in recognition of the increasing numbers of people who need support following completion of their cancer treatment. At Maggie's, we aim to support people to resume as normal a life as possible and to find the best way forward through the transition period after treatment.

This seven week course, led by a Cancer Support Specialist, is designed for anyone who has finished their cancer treatment. It offers skills and support to help you navigate this transition and beyond.

To book on or more information, please contact us on 01792 200 000/ Laura.Woods@maggies.org. (Spaces are limited) 🧡

Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, 22nd–28th January

During Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, we’re encouraging women and people with a cervix to attend their cervical screening appointment – it really helps to save lives. Cervical screening is a free health test that can prevent up to 75% of instances of cervical cancer and is estimated to save 5,000 lives per year.
Book your test today.

Cervical screening can sometimes feel worrying, but knowing what to expect during your appointment can help to put you at ease and make it easier to attend. The test itself usually takes less than five minutes. Although it may feel briefly uncomfortable, it’s an important check that could save your life.

National Obesity Awareness Week, 10th–16th January

National Obesity Awareness Week (NOAW) runs annually in January to raise awareness of the dangers of obesity while educating about managing weight. By setting small goals and making lifestyle changes, you can work towards a healthier weight and reduce the risks of life-limiting complications. Here are some tips to get you started: https://www.noaw2014.org.uk/lose-weight/

Losing weight has many benefits for your health, if you’re currently overweight. Not only will you feel better in yourself, but it may help to reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

While it may seem daunting, making small changes to your diet and lifestyle can really help to lose the pounds. https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/lose-weight/

💙 January is Cervical Screening Month 💙

Cervical screening helps detect changes early, often before symptoms appear, and treatment at this stage is highly effective. It’s a simple test that could make a life-saving difference.

If you’ve received an invitation, please don’t put it off. If you’re overdue or unsure when your next screening is due, contact the surgery for advice.
