Even a couple of quid makes a difference.

🏃‍♂️ Running for a Reason – Supporting Keel’s Caff & Community Hub 💛

We’re incredibly proud to share that Sachin from East Bank Pharmacy is taking on the Half Marathon on Sunday 29th March 🏅

He’s not just running for the challenge… he’s running to support an amazing local cause — Keel's Caff & Community Hub a space that brings people together, supports community wellbeing, and creates a place where everyone feels welcome, valued, and loved 💛

Every step he takes is helping to raise funds to keep this incredible community hub going strong.

If you’re able to support, even a small donation would mean the world 🙏

📣 Measles cases are rising across England, and vaccination uptake is decreasing
In just January and February 2026, England recorded 226 measles cases — already more than a quarter of all cases seen in 2025 (959 in total).
Measles spreads very easily and can cause serious complications like pneumonia, meningitis, and long‑term health issues.
Our MMR uptake is low, which means our local community isn’t as protected as it could be.
💉 The MMR vaccine is safe, free, and highly effective.
If your child has missed a dose or you’re unsure where they’re up to, please get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
Let’s boost protection together and keep our community healthy. 🌈✨

📣 AccuRx Scribe Launching Monday! ✨
From Monday, two of our GPs will begin a two‑week trial of AccuRx Scribe — a tool that helps with note‑taking so your clinician can spend more time focused on you and less time typing.
👉 Your clinician will always gain your consent before the consultation starts if they are using Scribe.
Your choice will always be respected.
After the trial, AccuRx Scribe will be rolled out to all our GPs and PAs to further improve your experience with us.
Thank you for your support as we continue to enhance patient care. 💙
