🤢🦠 BMG patients, Norovirus is doing the rounds! 🦠🤢
For most people it’s unpleasant but short-lived, however for others — especially the very young, older adults, or those with weakened immune systems — it can have a bigger impact 💙

🚫 The best way to protect yourself and others is simple:
🧼 Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water!
🚽 After going to the toilet
🥗 Before preparing or eating any food

❌ Remember — alcohol gels won’t kill norovirus, so proper handwashing is key! 🙌💦

Stay well, stay clean, and help stop the spread 💪

📢 What happens when we've reached capacity for the day and are fully booked for anymore appointments? 🕘💻📞

BMG patients, we often get asked about what do you do when you ring/call in/submit an online request for an appointment and are told "we have non left for the day", but you still have a need medically, to be seen.

We know it can be frustrating not to get an appointment, and we’d love to help everyone, but our priority is keeping all our patients, including you and our clinical team safe 💙⚖️

Our appointments can’t be unlimited — and once we’ve reached safe working capacity, here's what happens 👇

🔹 If you submitted a request before capacity was reached:
✅ Your symptoms will be reviewed by our clinical assessment team
📩 You’ll receive a text message or call with the outcome
🏥 If on-the-day input is needed and we’re full, you’ll be signposted to NHS 111 (let them know your GP surgery is at capacity)

🔹 If your request is triaged as not needing a same day appointment: we will contact you informing you of this outcome.
📅Routine appointments can take upto 1 month to be assigned depending on your medical need.
🧾 Our Patient Advisor Team will be in touch when a suitable appointment becomes available
📩We now send holding texts at regular intervals to keep you updated
🙏We have just introduced this, so please accept our apologies if you haven't received one prior to this post
Please note that if a specific clinician is requested or determined to be the most appropriate for continuity of care, this may result in a longer wait time.

🔹 If you contact us after we’ve reached safe working capacity for the day:
📞 Our team will direct you to NHS111 or if your symptoms can wait, we ask you to get in touch the next working day (let them know your GP surgery is at capacity)

💡Top Tips:
🌅 You can submit your medical request as early as 7:30AM
📄 The more information regarding your symptoms the better ! this helps our clinical team when reviewing your request
📵 Medical requests are closed when the surgery is shut
📄 Please do not submit medical requests using the admin form as it will not be processed.

We’re here for you – and working hard to help everyone as safely and fairly as possible 💙

🚰💙 Let’s Talk About UTIs! 💙🚰

BMG patients, Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are really common — and can cause a lot of discomfort 😣. The good news? There are simple ways to prevent them and get quick help if one starts to develop! 🌟

💧 Top Tips to Help Prevent a UTI:
✅ Drink plenty of water — stay hydrated!
✅ Don’t “hold it in” — go to the loo when you need to 🚻
✅ Wipe front to back (ladies, this one’s important!)
✅ Wear cotton underwear and avoid tight clothes 👖

If you do get symptoms like:
🚨 A burning feeling when you p*e
🚨 Needing to p*e more often or urgently
🚨 Lower tummy pain

👉 Visit your local pharmacy!
Pharmacists can now help treat UTIs for a range of people any woman aged 16 - 64 under the Pharmacy First scheme 🏥💊 — no GP appointment needed! They can even dispense antibiotics when appropriate.

Let’s look after our bladder health and keep infections at bay 💪
Prevention is better than cure! 🌼

😆💨 Inhalers – Are Not Just for Freshening the Room!

BMG patients, we’ve seen all sorts in our respiratory clinics lately…patients are telling us they are......
❌ Spraying your inhaler on your dinner 🍝 (adds zero flavour!)
❌ Puffing it into the air like an air freshener 🏠💨 (your walls don’t have asthma!)
❌ Taking a quick sniff like it was perfume 💐 (doesn’t smell that great anyway!)

BUT – none of these will help with your breathing. The right technique will 👍.

📱 Scan the QR code to watch the proper method on the Asthma UK website – your lungs 🫁 will love you for it!

Remember: Right technique = Better breathing + No wasted puffs 💊✨
