🌸 Cervical Screening Week 🌸

Cervical screening is a vital part of preventative healthcare. It helps detect early cell changes that could develop into cervical cancer if left untreated - often before any symptoms appear.

We encourage patients to attend for their cervical screening when invited, even in the absence of symptoms. Screening remains one of the most effective evidence-based measures for cervical cancer prevention.

If you are eligible and have not yet booked your cervical screening, please consider making it a priority.

💫 Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Week

🫀 What is Atrial Fibrillation (AF)?
AF is the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). It happens when the upper chambers of your heart (atria) beat in a fast, irregular rhythm - which can make your heart less efficient and increase your risk of stroke.

👀 What should you look out for?
• Irregular or fluttering heart beat
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue or feeling unusually tired
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Chest discomfort

📈 What increases your risk?
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease or heart failure
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Excessive alcohol or caffeine intake
• Sleep apnea
• Increasing age

🛑 How to prevent AF?
• Keep blood pressure and cholesterol under control
• Stay active
• Limit alcohol intake
• Avoid smoking
• Maintain a healthy diet
• Manage stress
• Check your pulse regularly

👉🏼 Remember: AF can be managed - and early detection makes a huge difference.

📣 Appointments not attended during October 2025

During October, we recorded a total of 245 missed appointments, amounting to 55 hours and 56 minutes of lost clinical time. These missed appointments prevent other patients from being seen and place additional pressure on our own healthcare team.

Every missed appointment represents valuable time that could have been offered to another patient in need. We understand that circumstances can change, but we kindly ask that if you are unable to attend your appointment, please inform the surgery as soon as possible.

To make it easier, we have now updated our SMS reminder to include a direct link that allows you to cancel your appointment quickly and easily if you can no longer attend.
