The impact of Parkinson’s is felt not only by those living with the condition but also by the carers who support them every day. Understanding carers’ experiences is vital to improving the model of care in the South West and carers of people living with Parkinson’s locally are invited to take part in this survey which remains open until 31st October 2025.

🎥 The Call I Just Took – A powerful reminder of the vital role receptionists play in healthcare.
Receptionists are not “just admin.” They are patient advocates, system navigators, and the first point of contact for those seeking care.
This short video from IGPM beautifully captures the complexity, compassion, and professionalism behind every call taken.
💬 Whether it's calming a worried patient, coordinating urgent appointments, or juggling multiple tasks with grace — receptionists are the unsung heroes of general practice.

👉 Watch the video and share it to show your appreciation for the incredible work they do every single day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlETspRMlA

🧒 Protect your child. 👵 Protect your family. 💙 Protect Cornwall.

Flu isn’t just a sniffle – it can lead to serious illness, especially in young children. Kids are known as "super spreaders" – they catch and pass on flu easily, often bringing it home to grandparents or younger siblings.

🛡️ The good news? The NHS flu vaccine is free, quick and needle-free (just a nasal spray!)
✅ For 2 & 3 year olds – book with their GP surgery
✅ For school-aged children – return the school consent form ASAP

🌟 Volunteers Needed! 🌟

Following the incredible success of our weekly Wellbeing Walks at Newquay Zoo and the Boating Lake, we are looking to recruit some more Walk Leaders to expand our team of volunteers. We have two walks taking place each week, both start at 9.45 and run on Monday's and Friday's. They last around 1 hour and are aimed at people of all abilities. They are fun, social walks that provide an opportunity to get out and about in Newquay, meet new people and spend time in nature.

All training is provided by the Ramblers Association and entails some online learning (3 hours approx.) and a couple of hours at a face to face session. We can also provide first aid training for those interested, and it's all free!

You don't need to commit to walking every week, but any time you can give, would be greatly appreciated.

🤝 Be part of something meaningful and gain valuable experience. If you would like to find out more, please contact Emma from our Social Prescribing Team 07746 297507 or join us for a walk.

Let's work together to make a positive change! 💪
