🤧🥴🌳Hay fever is the most common name for pollen allergy and is most commonly caused by grass pollens, although other pollens can also trigger the symptoms. 🍀🍃🌾

Depending on the time of year, the type of pollen in the air will be different. Between mid-March and mid-May is the peak of the Tree pollen season, which affects about 25% of hay fever sufferers. The most common tree pollen culprits are Birch, Oak, and Ash.

Over the next few days the tree pollen count will be high. For advice on how to manage your symptoms, visit the NHS App or

GP practices will continue to be open as normal during the resident doctors strike. Please continue to attend your GP and dental appointments, unless you are contacted and told otherwise.
The NHS is also asking the public to play their part during industrial action by looking after themselves, loved ones and checking in on vulnerable family members and neighbours.

If you’re away from home within England and need a GP appointment for routine treatment, please call your own surgery. And if you need a prescription, they can send it to any pharmacy you choose. You can easily order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App, though your GP practice website or, if you do not have access to GP online services, by calling your GP practice.

Ensure you have a fully stocked first aid kit at home or with you. Find out what you need here https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/accidents-first-aid-and-treatments/what-should-i-keep-in-my-first-aid-kit/

April is Bowel cancer Awareness month.

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, and Bowel Cancer Awareness Month aims to increase awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and knowing the symptoms.
These symptoms don’t mean you definitely have bowel cancer, but it’s important to check as the earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it is, and the more likely it can be cured.
