October is breast cancer awareness month and the staff at Seaton Surgery have been enjoying raising money (eating cakes) to support this cause with the help of a wonderful donation of cupcakes, dressed in pink of course, to highlight awareness and stoke the flames of discussion.

Do you know what to watch out for and do you check yourself regularly - men too, its not just the ladies?

If you notice any changes, dimpling, lumps, thickening, redness, discharge, pain, or even just something that is not normal for you - please get in touch with your GP for a check up. See the links below for more information.

WEIGHT LOSS INJECTIONS - UPDATE❗️

The NHS is still putting the new service in place.

It won’t be offered in all GP practices or be available straight away as the details of how GPs will be able to possibly provide these injections have still not been agreed.

Only a very small number of people will meet the strict eligibility criteria.

Contacting the surgery will not speed up access to the medicine and will increase our administrative workload, which may delay care for everyone.

Please be patient while the NHS rolls out this treatment safely and fairly. We will contact eligible patients if and when we are able to provide this.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
