🌟 Immunisation Awareness Month 🌟

This month, let's come together to highlight the importance of vaccinations in protecting our communities. Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent diseases and keep our loved ones safe. 💉✨

Whether it's for children, adults, or the elderly, staying up-to-date with vaccinations is crucial. Let's spread awareness, educate others, and ensure everyone has access to life-saving immunisations. 🌍

Dear Patients,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to inform you that our practice has made the decision not to sign up for the NHS Weight Loss Injection Local Enhanced Service (LES) at this time.

This decision was made after careful consideration of our current resources and the needs of our patients. We understand that weight management is an important aspect of health, and we encourage those interested in weight loss support to explore other available resources and services.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We remain committed to providing the best possible care to all our patients.

Warm regards,

Leatside Health Centre
