💙 Thank You to Our Practice Nurses 💙
Today, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing Practice Staff Nurses.
Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion make a difference to patients every single day. From long‑term condition care and health promotion to clinics, vaccinations, and supportive conversations — your work is at the heart of our practice and our community.
We truly appreciate the skill, resilience, and kindness you show, often behind the scenes, always putting patients first.
💐 We would also like to say thank you to nurses everywhere — for your commitment, care, and the vital role you play across the NHS and beyond. Your work truly changes lives.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week | 11–17 May 💚
This week, we join the NHS in recognising that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Mental Health Awareness Week is a chance to:
✅ Talk openly about mental wellbeing
✅ Check in with friends, family, and colleagues
✅ Reduce stigma
✅ Remind ourselves that support is always available
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is there — you don’t have to face things alone.
📞 Support is available:

Urgent mental health support: Call NHS 111 (24/7) to be directed to your local NHS mental health crisis line
Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7) – for anyone feeling overwhelmed or in distress
Emergency support: Call 999 or go to A&E if you or someone else is in immediate danger

Reaching out is a sign of strength. Let’s continue to look after each other and be kind to our minds. 💚

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global health threats we face. 😷🌍
Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2025 is a reminder:
✅ Only use antibiotics when prescribed
✅ Always complete the course
✅ Never share leftover meds
Together, we can 💪

This week we’re shining a light on something tiny but mighty — microbes! 🔬✨
Antimicrobial Awareness Week reminds us that every time we use antibiotics correctly, we help keep them working for the future.

💊 Use wisely. 🧠 Stay informed. 🌎 Protect
everyone.

This Week is Antimicrobial
Resistance Awareness week. ❌💊❌
Remember:
- Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and have no effect on Colds, the Flu and Sore Throats 🤧
- Trust your medical professional if they say antibiotics are not necessary 👩🏽‍⚕️
- Overusing antibiotics in the present means as resistance grows, antibiotics become less effective, making infections more difficult to treat and potentially leading to severe illness, disease spread, and death
