‼️ Important Patient Information ‼️

As of 1st October 2025, Hirsel Medical Centre will be using 'eConsult' as the main contact method for patients, instead of the traditional telephone route, to help reduce the early morning demand. It is available during practice opening hours, Monday to Friday, and offers an online questionnaire which you complete, to be looked at by the practice team. Your problem will be triaged and you will be told the best course of action to direct you to the most appropriate service - for example, an appointment or telephone call with a GP or Practice Nurse, an onward referral, booking in with another service or member of the practice team, or a text message reply back with further information.

For more information or to submit an econsult follow the link below:

Did you know most pharmacies can offer advice on a range of illnesses and provide treatment or prescription medicine for some conditions – without you seeing a GP?

Meet Damisola, a Community Pharmacist of 12 years, who works in a local pharmacy.

‘Some of my daily responsibilities include checking medicines are safe and correct for patients, as well as providing advice and treatment options for minor conditions such as coughs, sore throats, and sinusitis.’

This World Pharmacists Day, we're thanking Damisola, and all pharmacy teams across the country for your hard work caring for our communities and helping us stay well. 💙

In recognition of Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month our gynaeoncology team is inviting you to a Vintage Tea Party on Friday 5 September.

Held at St Cuthberts Church in Marton, the event promises an afternoon of nostalgia and community spirit, complete with delicious tea and cake, a raffle, a bottle stand and wellness stalls.

Most importantly, it will raise awareness of gynaecological cancers — including cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulval cancer.

Attendees will have access to a range of wellness stands and support information, helping people understand the symptoms, risk factors, and importance of early detection and routine screening.

The event also aims to spotlight the support available to those affected by these types of cancer — whether directly or through a loved one.

Doors open at 10am and entry is just £3, with all proceeds going to Ova the Rainbow, a local gynaecological cancer support group, via Our Hospitals Charity.

Cancer care co-ordinator Grace Kelly said: “We want this to be a welcoming and uplifting space where people can enjoy themselves, while also learning more about gynaecological health.

“Education is key, and through this event we hope to encourage open conversations and earlier diagnosis.”

Anyone affected by gynaecological cancer — or simply wanting to learn more — is warmly welcome.

Join us on Friday 5 September from 10am to 2pm at St Cuthberts Church, Stokesley Road, Marton, Middlesbrough, TS7 8JU

Weight Loss Injections - Mounjaro 💉

The ICB (integrated care board) have been tasked by NHS England to start providing Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) injections in GP practices as of today Monday 23rd June.

However, these injections are only eligible for a select patient group with a number of particular health conditions. The amount of patients estimated to be eligible to receive this in surgery is very small.

The practice has not yet made a decision on how these injections will be arranged for those eligible and we ask that patients do not make appointments or contact us to discuss this until further notice. Those eligible will be contacted in due course once appropriate clinics, training and guidance has been put in place within the practice.

Thank you for your patience!
