🧡 Hepatitis Awareness Month 🧡
Hepatitis can affect the liver silently for years, which is why awareness really matters.

There are several types of viral hepatitis, and some can be prevented through vaccination or reduced risk exposure. Others can be effectively managed when found early.

🔎 Did you know?
Many people with hepatitis don’t notice symptoms straight away.
That’s why testing is important if you think you could be at risk — even if you feel well.
If left untreated, hepatitis can lead to serious long-term liver damage, but early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
If you’re unsure whether you should be tested or vaccinated, our team is here to help and advise.

💬 Speak to us if you have concerns, confidential support is always available at your GP surgery.

💚 Cervical Screening Saves Lives! 💡
If you have a cervix, regular cervical screening is one of the most important ways to protect your health: Cervical screening is generally offered every 5 years for women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64.
Cervical screening checks for early changes in the cervix, including high-risk HPV (Human Papillomavirus), which can lead to cervical cancer.

Early detection means problems can be treated before they become serious.

🩺 Why attend your screening?
• Detect HPV that may cause cervical cancer.
• Identify early changes that can be treated quickly.
• Quick, simple, and can make a huge difference to your long-term health.

If you’ve been invited, don’t delay, attending is a proactive step for your wellbeing.
We can offer evening and weekend appointments, please contact the surgery to find out more.

👂 Deaf Awareness Week.
This week is Deaf Awareness Week, a national campaign to raise understanding of the Deaf and hard of hearing community, celebrate Deaf culture, and highlight the communication barriers many people face every day. It’s a chance for all of us to learn how simple changes in communication and awareness can make a big difference in making healthcare, workplaces, and everyday life more accessible and inclusive.
In the UK, millions of people are deaf or have hearing loss, and many more rely on British Sign Language (BSL), lip reading or other communication methods.

Deaf Awareness Week encourages us to challenge assumptions, increase visibility, and work towards a world where everyone can communicate and participate fully.

You can support Deaf Awareness Week by educating yourself about hearing loss and deaf culture, being mindful in conversations (face people when speaking, allow time for communication), and promoting inclusivity in your community.

💙 International Day of the Midwife.
Today we celebrate International Day of the Midwife, let’s all recognise the incredible work of NHS midwives across the UK. Midwives provide essential care throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and postnatal support, helping families start life safely and confidently.

Did you know?
• Midwives support around 700,000 births a year in the UK.
• They provide not only medical care, but guidance on breastfeeding, mental wellbeing, and early childhood development.
• Midwives are trained to identify and respond to risks early, ensuring both mother and baby are safe.

This day is a chance to thank midwives for their dedication, compassion, and expertise. Whether it’s your own midwife, one who helped your family, or NHS teams nationwide, their work saves lives and supports communities every day.

World Asthma Day 2026 🌍💙
This year’s theme highlights an urgent global issue:
'Access to anti-inflammatory inhalers for everyone with asthma.'

Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide, and tragically, hundreds of thousands of deaths occur each year—many of which are preventable with the right treatment and support.

Anti-inflammatory inhalers don’t just relieve symptoms; they treat the underlying inflammation in the airways. This means better day-to-day control, fewer asthma attacks, and a reduced risk of serious complications.

However, access to these essential medicines is still a challenge for many people across the world. That’s why raising awareness and supporting people to manage their asthma effectively is so important.

💙 We are committed to supporting you with your asthma care.
We’re proud to have our PCN Clinical Pharmacist, Sophia, who is our dedicated Asthma Champion. If you have any questions or concerns about your asthma, you are very welcome to:
✔ Contact us for a referral to Sophia to discuss your Asthma management.
✔ Speak with Sophia for any Asthma queries, advice or support.

Of course, our nursing team are also highly experienced and always there to help you manage your condition with confidence.

If you’ve noticed changes in your symptoms, are using your inhaler more frequently, or simply want a review, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Together, we can help you stay well and breathe easier.

🧼 World Hand Hygiene Day
Today is World Hand Hygiene Day, an annual awareness day led by the World Health Organization to highlight the life saving importance of hand hygiene in healthcare and everyday life.

The global 'SAVE LIVES - Clean Your Hands' campaign calls on everyone, from health care teams to patients and the public, to recognise that simple, effective hand washing and sanitising helps protect against infections and supports safe, high-quality care.

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of harmful germs and health care associated infections, including those that lead to serious illness or complications in hospital and community settings. This action directly contributes to safer care and supports efforts to reduce antimicrobial resistance.

👩‍⚕️ As a GP surgery, we want to take a moment to thank all NHS staff, from clinicians to support teams who help maintain excellent infection prevention and control every day. Practising good hand hygiene protects patients, staff and families alike and is a fundamental part of keeping our community healthy.
