Have you checked your breasts today? 🤔

Attending a breast screening is the best way to identify signs of breast cancer early, but there are also a number of symptoms to look out for on a daily basis from the comfort of your own home. It only takes a few minutes to check.

If you notice anything unusual or uncomfortable, please pop in a request to speak to GP for a professional opinion and peace of mind.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE ❗

The way you organise your blood tests with us is changing.

From 7th April 2026, we will no longer be offering a walk-in blood service at any of our sites. This is due to excessive wait times for you as patients.

Don't worry though. Instead, we will be running additional dedicated blood clinics consisting of pre-booked appointments only.

We anticipate that, by making this change, we can offer more availability and an overall improved service for everyone, getting you those much-needed tests more quickly.

We appreciate your understanding as we continue to adapt and grow as a Practice.

Together, we are stronger.

Not all disabilities are immediately visible, so it is important to remember to be kind and compassionate to everyone you encounter, as you may not know what they are dealing with on a daily basis. Together, we can help to support each other.

Mental health never takes a holiday, and anyone can be affected by poor mental health at some point in their lifetime – including you.

There is no shame in struggling, and we would like to remind you that however you are feeling or whatever is getting you down, you are most certainly not alone.

Talking about mental health is one of the best ways to remove the stigma and find comfort and support, so if you’re a man of any age, please don’t be afraid to reach out.

Remember to order your prescriptions ahead of the Easter weekend!

To avoid delays in getting your medicines over the bank holiday, please order your prescriptions as soon as you can and don't forget to collect them in time.

You can order repeat prescriptions through the NHS App or at your GP surgery. Thank you.
