📢 Important: UK-Wide Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 7th September at 3PM

The UK Government will be testing its Emergency Alerts system this Sunday. A loud, 10-second alert will be sent to mobile phones across the country — even if your phone is on silent.

🔔 Why it matters:
These alerts are designed to warn people about life-threatening emergencies like extreme weather or public safety risks.

⚠️ But please be aware:
Domestic abuse charities have raised concerns that these alerts could reveal hidden or secondary phones, putting some people at risk.

👉 How to turn off the alert:

📱 iPhone & Android:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Notifications
3. Scroll down and turn off Emergency Alerts and Severe Alerts

📱 Huawei:
1. Go to Settings
2. Search for Emergency Alerts
3. Turn off Extreme threats, Severe threats, and Amber alerts

🔗 Watch Refuge’s step-by-step guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2MBcHwmiy8

You can turn alerts back on anytime if you choose.
📞 If you're in immediate danger, call 999.

💥Is your child due their vaccines, or due their baby immunisations? If their vaccines are needed, contact our reception team to book in to our nurse led clinics 😊
💉💉The NHS is running a national campaign to boost childhood vaccination rates, particularly for children aged 0-5 years, to protect them from serious diseases. The campaign, which includes a second wave running from August 26th to October 4th, aims to address declining vaccination rates and the potential for outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough. The campaign focuses on increasing parents' understanding, intention, and confidence in childhood vaccinations, according to the Association of Directors of Public Health.

Spreading the word with Amy Vallis-Allen on this. Great idea, details below..

Spread the word!

Message from Amy..
To keep it brief I’m looking to start a weekly buggy run group in Lowestoft likely to be at 09:30 starting down the seafront initially, however also open to non buggy runners who want a place to start/return to running as new parents.

Anyone who knows me knows running is my passion through good times and bad it has been my way to help myself physically and mentally! I would love to share this with others and help people get back to running in such a hard stage in life!

Buggy runners would need to have a suitable buggy eg: buggy spec for running by manufacturer, 5 point harness etc.

Please let me know if you or someone you know is interested and help me spread the word, looking to start in September

🩺 Flu & COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics Now Open at Millwood Surgery 💉

We’re now booking appointments for our 2025/2026 Flu and COVID-19 vaccination clinics

✅ Flu Vaccine – Protects against seasonal flu, which can be serious for those at higher risk. Offered every autumn/winter through the NHS.

✅ COVID-19 Vaccine – Helps protect against COVID-19, especially for those who need extra protection. Usually offered in spring and early winter.

🛡️ These vaccines are updated regularly because viruses change and immunity fades over time. If you're eligible, topping up your protection is important.

📲 Invitations will be sent soon via:
- SMS with a link to book or decline
- Letter with booking instructions

Please keep an eye out and book your appointment when invited!
