Friday was a sad day at the surgery as we bid a Happy Retirement to our wonderful HCA Chris.
After almost 20 years at Hawthorn and many many more in the NHS Chris has decided its time to take time for herself and do some traveling in her trusty campervan.
Chris has been not just a colleague but a friend to many of us here and she will be missed by staff and patients alike.
We're sure everyone will join us in wishing her a wonderful retirement and happy and safe travels.🥰

🌟National Obesity Awareness Week – 10–16 January 🌟
This week is all about raising awareness of obesity and encouraging small, positive changes for a healthier lifestyle. Obesity can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems—but the good news is that simple steps can make a big difference.
Top Tips for a Healthier You:
✅ Start your day with a balanced breakfast
✅ Aim for 5 portions of fruit and veg daily
✅ Stay active—walking, cycling, or even dancing at home counts!
✅ Drink plenty of water and limit sugary drinks
✅ Check food labels and choose lower sugar, fat, and salt options
Remember, it’s not about quick fixes—it’s about building habits that last. Even one small change this week can lead to a healthier future.
What’s your healthy goal for this week? Share your ideas in the comments and inspire others! 💪
