Know your numbers week 8-14th September!

We are supporting know your numbers week at the surgery by holding a drop in on 11th September, 2-4pm. Come along and get your numbers!!

'Every September, blood pressure checks are taken by thousands to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Know Your Numbers! Week reaches those who have high blood pressure and don’t know it, so they can get the treatment and support they need to bring it under control.

Previously, hundreds of organisations took part, setting up Pressure Stations in public places across the UK. From hospitals and health centres to offices, car parks and supermarkets. Even the Royal Albert Hall. Today, the Know Your Numbers! Week focus is on home blood pressure monitoring, as it's the easiest way to find out your blood pressure numbers. Take a look at the highlights from past campaigns.'

We promote Sarcoma Awareness Month every year in July, to raise awareness of sarcoma and the importance of early diagnosis.

If you have a lump, it’s important to be aware of any changes that may occur, so that you can keep your GP informed of your symptoms. You can keep an eye on any changes to your lump by measuring and tracking it.

One of the most common symptoms of sarcoma is a lump which is growing, changing, or bigger than a golf ball. However, it’s important to note that if you have a lump, it doesn’t mean you have sarcoma. Sarcoma is very rare, and most lumps and pains will not be sarcoma. You should stay aware of any changes regardless to make sure that you get an accurate diagnosis.
