HPV is a common virus and most people will get it at some point in their lives. The

HPV vaccine helps protect against several cancers, including cervical cancer and cancers of the mouth, throat and ge****ls.

In the UK, the vaccine is offered to boys and girls in Year 8 at school to help protect them later in life. If it was missed at school, it may still be available through your GP practice if you are 25 or under.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV types, but it does not protect against all of them. This is why cervical screening is still important when invited.

It was a pleasure to welcome Andrew Pakes for Peterborough MP to Thistlemoor Medical Centre this week.

During his visit, he met with Dr Neil Modha, Dr Azhar Chaudhry, Paulina Janczura, and Rachana Khartri to discuss the ongoing work we are delivering for our community and the vision for our new development.

We spoke openly about some of the challenges we are currently facing with the new development and asked for his support in helping us overcome barriers so we can continue expanding and improving services for local residents. It was an important and constructive conversation about collaboration and ensuring our community has access to the high-quality facilities it deserves.

We were also proud to share some recent achievements, including winning four awards:
πŸ† Team of the Year
🌍 Climate Action Award
πŸ… Practice Manager of the Year
✨ Healthcare Excellence Award

These recognitions reflect the dedication, innovation, and hard work of our entire team.

Thank you to Andrew Pakes MP for taking the time to visit and engage with us. We look forward to continuing to work together for the benefit of our community.

βœ”οΈ Rest and allow your body time to recover

βœ”οΈ Take paracetamol if needed for fever or aches

βœ”οΈ Wash your hands regularly with soap and water (hand gels are less effective for Norovirus)

🚫 Please do not attend the GP surgery while you have symptoms.

🏠 Stay at home and avoid work, school, or visiting healthcare settings until at

At least 48 hours after your symptoms have stopped.

This helps protect vulnerable patients, children, and older adults in our community.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

It checks the health of your cervix and looks for HPV (a common virus) and early cell changes – helping to prevent cancer before it starts.

In the UK, cervical screening saves at least 2,000 lives every year. Attending your appointment could make a real difference.

You may be invited if:
βœ”οΈ You have a cervix
βœ”οΈ You are aged 25–64
βœ”οΈ You have received your NHS invitation

The test only takes a few minutes and could protect your future health.

If you’ve received your invite, please don’t ignore it πŸ’™
