Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

Plas Ffynnon Medical centre now belongs to the Safe Places Shropshire scheme.

Safe Place Shropshire is a network of ‘short term safe havens’ for people who may require additional support and assistance when they are out and about in the community.

It can also allow carers to feel reassured that there is always likely to be help nearby for their loved ones if needed.

To sp*ed up getting the extra support a person may need, an 'I need Help' card with details of who to contact on their behalf, may make contact easier. If you would like a card, please ask at Reception.

Good sleep habits are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking frequently during the night can affect mood, concentration and overall health.

Simple changes like keeping a regular bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, limiting caffeine and creating a calm sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.

Understanding the possible causes of sleep problems and accessing trusted advice can make a real difference. Better sleep supports better days. 😴🌙💙✨

When patients turn 16, they become responsible for their own healthcare decisions.

If you have already given proxy access for a parent or guardian to have access to your healthcare, this will be revoked. If you wish for a parent or guardian to continue to have access on your beahalf, you will need to sign a new consent form.

If you have a parent or guardians phone number and/or email address as your contact, these will be removed and replaced with your own. It is therefore important that you update us with your up to date contact details.
