Have you checked your blood pressure?

As many as 5 million adults in the UK have undiagnosed high blood pressure and aren't aware that they’re at risk. The only way to know whether you have high blood pressure is to have it measured.

You can get your blood pressure checked at:
🏥 GP surgeries
🩺Some pharmacies, like Tesco
💼 Some workplaces

Milnrow Village Practice 🌈

It’s all very exciting …… bit nerve wracking right now but exciting at the same time !!

The sinks are in
The heat and air flow is now in
The cupboards are going in as we speak
The ceilings are almost done
The flooring will be fitted next weekend
The furniture is ordered
The painter and decorators are in next weekend

Few last minute decisions made today but everything is on track for completion ahead of schedule

We will soon have additional services operating from the medical centre which will benefit patients from around the area .. bringing additional services closer to home

🔹 Midwives
🔹 District nurses
🔹 Tissue Viability
🔹 Anti-coagulation

and more recently added……

🔹 Ultrasound

We aim to allow the new services to settle before looking into to what other services would be beneficial

Our patient participation group have very kindly volunteered some of their time when we open the extra rooms … to help patients to find their way around and are on standby for a start date - thanks guys !!!

I’ll update you again when I have more to show you
