November is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to highlighting the challenges men face when it comes to mental health and to encouraging open conversations.

The figures shown on the image show that men’s mental health problems are not rare or isolated — they are common, but too often go unspoken. Social pressures, cultural expectations or the belief that talking about emotions is a sign of weakness can make it harder for men to reach out. But mental health difficulties are a normal part of life, and seeking help is positive and courageous.

Mental health challenges for men can arise from a wide range of factors. Recognising the signs of poor mental health early (such as ongoing tiredness, irritability, withdrawal or loss of interest in things once enjoyed) can help people take action before problems worsen.

For further support, please go to https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/mental-health-services/ or contact your surgery.

We are currently having some technical issues with our phones. This has severely limited the number of call handlers currently able to take calls.

We anticipate over the next hour or until the situation is resolved we will have larger than normal queues on the phones.

Our online econsult and NHS App services are working as normal.

We appreciate your patience at this time.

Do you have a child who's unwell and are wondering if they should be in nursery or school?

Check out this handy guide to find out when they should stay off, and when they can go back if they are well enough to do so.

Symptoms and severity of illness will vary from person to person. If your child is unwell and you have concerns about their symptoms you should speak to your GP.
