💙 World Hypertension Day – 17th May 💙
High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms, yet it significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious health problems.
📊 Did you know?
Many people with high blood pressure don’t know they have it. Regular blood pressure checks are one of the simplest ways to protect your long-term health.
✅ You can help reduce your risk by:

Having your blood pressure checked regularly
Eating a balanced diet and reducing salt intake
Staying physically active
Maintaining a healthy weight
Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol
Managing stress and getting enough sleep

📅 This 17th May, take a moment to check your blood pressure—or encourage someone you care about to do the same. Small changes can make a big difference.
🩺 Know your numbers. Control your blood pressure. Protect your heart.

🌬️ World Asthma Day – May 7th
Supporting better breathing for everyone

Today is World Asthma Day, a reminder of how important it is to recognise symptoms, manage triggers, and keep asthma well‑controlled. Around 5.4 million people in the UK receive treatment for asthma, and good management can make a huge difference to daily life.

How we can help:

Review your asthma action plan

Check inhaler technique

Discuss symptoms or flare‑ups

Update prescriptions if needed

If you use an inhaler, make sure it’s in date, used correctly, and that you have enough medication — especially as we head into spring and summer when triggers can increase.

If you’re concerned about your breathing, or feel your asthma is not well controlled, please contact the surgery for advice. We’re here to help you stay well and breathe easier every day.

World Malaria Day, 25th April

Malaria is a life-threatening disease which is spread to humans by some types of mosquitoes. It is mostly found in tropical countries, especially Africa, and it is preventable and curable. Mild symptoms are fever, chills and headache. Severe symptoms include fatigue, confusion, seizures, and difficulty breathing. The majority of people who die from malaria are children.

World Malaria Day, organised by the World Health Organization, highlights the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control.
