💙 World Diabetes Day💙

Today, we’re recognising World Diabetes Day, a time to raise awareness of diabetes and the importance of regular care and check-ups.

At The Lodge Health Partnership, we’d like to remind all our patients living with diabetes how vital it is to attend your annual diabetes review and routine blood tests with our dedicated Diabetes Nurse. These appointments help us:

✅ Monitor your blood sugar levels and HbA1c results
✅ Check your blood pressure, weight and feet
✅ Review your medication and treatment plan
✅ Offer advice on diet, lifestyle, and staying healthy

Your annual diabetes check is one of the best ways to prevent complications and keep your diabetes well-managed. Small steps and regular reviews can make a big difference to your long-term health. 🌿

If you’ve been invited for your diabetes review, please make your appointment today or contact the surgery to arrange one. Let’s take control of diabetes together. 💙

Going through the menopause can sometimes feel isolating, but you are not alone. 💜

We are pleased to announce a new, supportive service at The Lodge Health Partnership: Group Menopause Clinics.

These aren't just standard appointments. They are a powerful new way to get:

⭐ More Time: Far more time with a GP (Dr. Dowling) to discuss your concerns.
⭐ Shared Experience: A confidential space to connect with other women, ask questions, and learn from each other.
⭐ Personalised Care: A full discussion on symptoms, risks, and HRT, plus a one-to-one consultation.

In this video, Dr Dowling explains exactly how this approach combines the best of both worlds. Supportive group learning and personal, tailored advice.

If you're interested in finding out more, please contact us through our online service.

Please share this with any friends or family members who might benefit. It's time we talked more openly about menopause, together.

📢 Update on Routine Ultrasound Appointment Wait Times

We’ve been informed that there is currently a 10–12 week wait for routine ultrasound appointments for referrals sent to West Herts Hospital Trust.

We understand this delay can be frustrating and appreciate your patience while the hospital works through the current backlog.

👉 Please do not contact the surgery or the ultrasound department to check on your appointment unless it has been more than 10 weeks since your referral was sent and you have not yet received an appointment offer.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, your support helps our team and hospital colleagues focus on patients with the most urgent needs. 💙

What a fantastic turnout! We were thrilled to see around 100 patients at the recent Weight Management and Wellbeing event.

We are so proud of our very own Dr. Sonali Dasgupta (GP and weight management lead here at The Lodge Health Partnership) who led the session. She delivered an informative and engaging talk, exploring the science behind weight management, healthy lifestyle measures, and the new Mounjaro treatment on the NHS.

This successful event was a partnership with HaLo PCN, and it was wonderful to also hear from TBC Healthcare and Watford FC’s Community Sports & Education Trust about the other valuable support programmes available locally.

We're passionate about bringing this kind of proactive, expert health information to our patient community.

To help us plan future health initiatives, we'd love to hear from you: What other health topics would you be most interested in learning about?

🩺 Protect yourself and your community, get your MMR vaccine! 💉

Measles cases are on the rise across the UK, but the MMR vaccine offers safe and effective protection against measles, mumps, and rubella.

If you’ve never had the MMR vaccine or have only received one dose, you’re not fully protected. Two doses are needed for the best defence.

✅ Book an appointment with one of our nurses to get vaccinated.
❓ Not sure if you’ve had both doses? Please submit an eConsult, and we can check your records and advise you.

Let’s keep our community healthy and measles-free! 🌈

HaLo Patient Education Evening – The New Asthma Guidelines

HaLo Primary Care Network hosted an informative and engaging Patient Education Evening on the New Asthma Guidelines at Jersey Farm Surgery. Around 20 patients attended the session, which focused on helping people better understand their asthma management and treatment plans in line with the latest asthma guidelines.

The evening provided valuable information on how asthma treatment is evolving, including refreshers on inhaler technique, asthma reviews and asthma and the environment. Patients had the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn practical ways to take control of their asthma day-to-day.

HaLo PCN is committed to continuing these educational events to support patients in understanding and managing their long-term conditions with confidence.
