🚨 Important Health Notice – Meningitis B (Men B) 🚨

If you think you may have symptoms of Meningitis B or have recently been in close contact with someone diagnosed with it, please do NOT come into the surgery.

Instead, contact NHS 111 for advice or urgent medical support.

Our Gardening and Nature for Wellbeing group has been hard at work lately! 🌿 Just look at some of the pictures below from our latest session! 📸✨

We loved this piece of feedback from one of our patients: “The group has really helped me connect with other people who like nature and birds, something that was a bit of a lonely interest before.”

It is wonderful to see how a shared interest in wildlife can turn a quiet hobby into a thriving community! 🌻🐦✨
