You can do so much more with the NHS App than you realise. You can quickly and easily request your repeat prescription. And if you turn on notifications, you’ll get messages and appointment reminders as soon as they’re sent.
You can also view your GP health record in record time, get your test results faster, before they arrive in the post and more. All when it suits you.
If you’re aged 13 or over and are registered with an NHS GP surgery in England or the Isle of Man, you’re eligible to use the NHS App. You can download the NHS App onto your phone or tablet from the App store on Apple devices, or the Google Play Store on Android devices.
Once you’ve set up the NHS App, you can order repeat prescriptions, view your health record and test results securely, book and manage appointments, manage your organ donation decision, view your NHS number and use NHS 111 online. Also, you can search conditions and treatments and find NHS services near you on the NHS App. Discover what you can do in the NHS App today, visit www.nhs.uk/nhsapp .

Cold Water Swimming – Gentle Sessions for People with a Cancer Diagnosis

We’re running calm, supportive cold water swimming sessions for people living with a cancer diagnosis.

📍 Location: Gyllyngvase Beach, Falmouth
📅 Date: April 23rd for 8 weeks
September 3rd for 8 weeks
⏰ Time: 9.30am & 10.30am

These sessions are about choice, care, and connection. Whether you dip, paddle, or just sit by the water and take it all in, you’re welcome exactly as you are.

💙 Small, supportive group
❄️ No pressure — you’re always in control
🌊 Gentle, steady pace
🤍 A space to meet others who truly get it
🛟 Supported by a very chill UK lifeguard (so you’re in safe hands)

Cold water can feel grounding, empowering, and surprisingly peaceful — but there’s absolutely no expectation to do more than feels right for you on the day.

If you or someone you love might benefit, pop us a message or comment below for more details.

You don’t have to be brave. You just have to show up.

Dr Tom Hackett may be a GP in Penryn, but he’s also one of our everyday winter wellness champions and has these tips for staying well…

• Focus on hand hygiene think about the slogan ‘catch it, kill it, bin it’ and use a tissue.
• If you’re coughing and sneezing make sure wash your hands regularly.
• Always remember to wash your hands after visiting the toilet, especially when suffering from vomiting or diarrhoea.
