Thank you to all our patients who came to our coffee morning last Saturday. We have raised a fantastic £338 from our tombola and from patient contributions for Martin House Childrens Charity. Thank you to NY Connected Spaces, Horizons, Carers Resource, Dementia Forward and Gina our Social Prescriber who came to talk to our patients. Our nurse, Sharon also came to discuss diabetes and lifestyle which was very popular. If you have any feedback or comments on the event, this would be greatly received.

We would like to announce that our wonderful Dr Rachel Reid is leaving us at the end of September. She has been with Church Avenue Medical Group for 12 years and she will be missed by all of her patients and colleagues. We would like to thank Dr Reid for her dedication over these many years and thank her for all her work she has put in to the practice, including her work with our care homes. We wish her all the best for the future as she embarks upon her new journey.

The NHS in Humber and North Yorkshire spends £332 million a year on medicines –
and £26 million is wasted when unwanted repeat prescriptions are returned. These
medicines can’t be reused or recycled; they must be destroyed.
How you can help:
• Check before you order – only request what you’re running out of.
• Open your prescription bag – return anything you don’t need before you leave
the pharmacy.
• Talk to your pharmacy team – let them know if you’ve stopped taking a
medicine.
• Return safely – always bring unused or expired medicines back to the pharmacy,
not the bin or sink.
By making these simple changes, you’ll help your NHS, protect the environment, and stay safe.
Check before you order.
Stay Well. Stay Safe. Stay Green.

Feeling lonely is completely normal. Many of us can feel lonely while checking our social media, on our own or with others. It is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of.
● Sometimes admitting we feel lonely can be hard but it’s important to remember that many others experience similar feelings of loneliness too, and that this feeling can pass.
● If you are feeling lonely, or know someone else who is, there are plenty of simple, affordable actions you can take, such as:
○ going for a walk with someone;
○ inviting someone out for a coffee and a chat;
○ finding out about affordable events nearby;
○ going along to a gym class or playing in a sports team;
○ joining a society or local community group to meet like-minded people; and
○ reaching out to those around you so you can both feel the benefits of in-person social connection.
● Find more support and advice on the Better Health - Every Mind Matters Loneliness web page to help yourself or others who might be feeling lonely, or search ‘Loneliness Every Mind Matters’ for more support and advice
