A quick note from Dr Kilgour -

"After 30 wonderful years as a GP at Worden Medical Centre, I’m sharing the news that I’ll be retiring from practice at the end of March. It has been a privilege to care for such a welcoming community and I’m grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me over the years. Medicine has changed so much during this time, but people stay the same and you are the reason our job is so rewarding.

Thank you for the memories, the conversations, and the opportunity to be part of your lives. Wishing you all good health and happiness for the future. - Dr John Kilgour"

💓 Heart attack symptoms and signs can vary from person to person, but the most common include pain or squeezing across the chest and a feeling of unease.
❗ You might be surprised to hear symptoms don’t always feel severe – some people may have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, feeling or being sick and back or jaw pain without any chest pain.
🆘 If you think you or somebody you’re with is having a heart attack, don’t be tempted to dismiss the signs or wait to see what happens. The faster you act, the better their chances.
📱 It’s never too early to call 999 and check.
