Spring is well and truly sprung and whilst we're all glad of the warmer temperatures and that occasional yellow ball in the sky, some of us are quickly reminded of those pesky hay fever symptoms. We all suffer differently so do check out this video where Pharmacist Virginia discusses hay fever symptoms and what you can do to treat them.

💉 Why Childhood Vaccinations Matter

As parents, we all want to keep our children safe and healthy. Childhood vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect them from serious diseases.
Vaccines work by safely training your child’s immune system to recognise and fight harmful infections before they can cause illness. This protection can prevent diseases such as measles, polio, whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria—some of which can lead to severe complications.
Vaccinating your child doesn’t just protect them. It also helps protect babies, elderly family members, and those with weakened immune systems by reducing the spread of disease in the community.
Many illnesses that were once common and life-threatening are now rare thanks to routine vaccinations. Following the recommended vaccine schedule helps ensure children are protected at the right time, when they are most vulnerable.

Do look out for your invitation to bring your child in for their vaccination

Runaway train - Shepton Mallet

We’re excited to share that our team will be taking part in the upcoming Shepton Mallet Runaway Train event! 🚂🏃‍♂️

We will be getting involved throughout the day — helping to keep runners going at the water stand in Market Square, supporting with marshalling in the town centre, and serving well-earned Boxty meals at the finish line.

It’s a brilliant community event and we’re proud to be part of it. If you’re coming along, be sure to say hello and cheer on all the runners!

Best of luck to everyone taking part — we’ll see you there! 👏

Meet Your Practice Team - Care Coordinator

Our Care Coordinators are here to help make your healthcare feel more organised and less overwhelming.

If you have a long-term condition, several appointments, or you’ve recently been in hospital, they can:

✔ Help arrange appointments and follow-ups
✔ Make sure you understand your care plan and next steps
✔ Support you after a hospital stay
✔ Signpost you to helpful local services and community support
✔ Be a friendly point of contact if you’re unsure who to speak to

Think of them as someone who helps connect the dots between different services — so you don’t have to manage everything on your own.

We’re here to make things simpler, clearer and more supportive for our community
