🌿 Social Prescribing Day – 26 March 2026 🌿

Social Prescribing Day is a national celebration recognising the vital role social prescribing plays in supporting people’s health and wellbeing.

It shines a light on the incredible work of link workers, community groups, and healthcare teams who come together to connect individuals with non-medical services that can truly make a difference.

By addressing social, emotional, and practical needs, social prescribing helps people feel more supported, more connected, and more empowered—working alongside traditional NHS care to improve lives.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This March, people across the country are marching in March to help raise awareness of prostate cancer and encourage more men to learn about their risk. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, and early detection can make a life-saving difference.

By talking about it, sharing information, and supporting awareness campaigns, we can help more men recognise the signs and get checked if something doesn’t feel right.

❤️ **Heart Health Month – Let’s Take Care of Your Heart!** ❤️

This month, we are promoting Heart Health Month; a great reminder to give your heart the attention it deserves.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of illness in the UK, but the good news is that small changes can make a big difference.

Here are a few simple ways to support your heart health:
💓 Stay active – aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week
🥗 Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and wholegrains
🚭 Stop smoking – it’s never too late to quit
🩺 Know your numbers – blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
😌 Manage stress and get enough sleep

If you’re due a blood pressure check or have concerns about your heart health, please contact the practice.
