Do you wear a stoma?.....

Good skin care is a crucial part of any stoma care routine. It will help maintain your skin's health around your stoma and assist in successful stoma bag adhesion. Broken, red or sore skin may increase the risk of leakage and further skin problems.

There's no need to put up with sore skin. Consult your stoma care nurse, or call our 24-hour stoma helpline: 0800 328 4257 to talk to an ostomate with experience of managing skin problems.

Wear It Pink 🩷

Imeary Medical Group are participating in Wear It Pink this week for breast cancer; you'll see our team wearing all shades of pink to show their support 🩷

We are selling breast cancer badges and are gratefully accepting donations, no matter how small, with all proceeds going to this amazing charity.

In the past, thanks to our team, our wonderful volunteers and our lovely patients we have raised over £3,500 for Macmillan selling home made cakes and savouries and have provided essential items for Hebburn Helps and Key to Life food banks. This year we decided to support this amazing breast cancer charity and we hope our patients and visitors will help us 😊

We do, however, completely understand that times are tough, so please do not feel any pressure to donate if you're attending the practice.

Our main aim is to raise awareness and to encourage you to regularly check your breasts for any abnormalities; book in for an appointment if you can feel any lumps or bumps. Early detection can save lives 🩷

As always, thank you to our patients for your support 😊
