Around 100 winter packs have been hand delivered to our vulnerable and housebound patients. Each pack includes key information on staying safe and warm over the winter months, along with a few little goodies to brighten the season.

A huge thank you to Johanna for her kindness, care, and dedication making a real difference when it matters most 💙❄️

🌟 Staveleigh Medical Centre – Building Progress Update! 🌟

We’re excited to share that the first of our two new clinical rooms is really starting to take shape! 🛠️✨ You may also have noticed that the columns in the waiting room have now been stripped back, helping everything feel a little more open as we move forward with the improvements.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll start to see reconfiguration work happening around the reception and entrance areas, and work will begin on our second new clinical room too. Lots of positive changes ahead!

A huge thank you to all our patients for your patience and understanding during the disruption — and our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

And of course, a big shout-out to the amazing team working around us to make sure we can stay open throughout the works. 👏💙

✨ Staveleigh are pleased to offer support to Ridgehill Together! ✨

Last night we were delighted to attend the Community Assembly, where local residents shared valuable feedback about what the community wants and needs, including around healthcare.

Did you know we already offer weekly nursing appointments in the community? And we have plans to expand these services… watch this space! 👀

If you’d like to know more or want to book an appointment in the area, just get in touch — we’re here to help.

Why not pop into the Baptist Church on Ambleside Road, SK15 1EB, and speak to the Ridgehill Together team to find out what’s happening locally? There’s so much great community work underway. 💙

To help us answer calls faster, reduce errors and process prescriptions more quickly, we may no longer accept prescription requests by phone. We encourage you to order through the NHS App www.nhs.uk/nhs-app or other online services. You can still drop requests into the practice. Phone ordering will remain for certain vulnerable or housebound patients. Thank you for your cooperation.

Download the NHS App, or open the NHS website in a web browser, to set up and log in to your NHS account. Owned and run by the NHS, your NHS account is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services online.

🦠 It’s World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 💊

This week, we’re focusing on an important message: Let’s keep antibiotics working.

Here’s how you can help:
💊 Only take antibiotics when they’re prescribed for you — never for someone else.

👩‍⚕️ Take them exactly as your GP, nurse or pharmacist tells you.

✅ Finish the full course, even if you feel better.

🚮 Don’t keep leftover antibiotics and don’t take old ones saved from a previous illness. They may not work properly and could do more harm than good.

🦠 Avoid asking for antibiotics if you have a cold, cough, or the flu — these are usually caused by viruses, and antibiotics don’t help with them.

🎉 Welcome, Dr Manatsa! 🎉
We’re delighted to announce that Dr Manatsa has officially joined Staveleigh Medical Centre as a Salaried GP after completing his GP training residency with us over the past 16 months!

Dr Manatsa has a special interest in mental health, as well as proactive and preventative lifestyle medicine — helping patients take positive steps towards long-term wellbeing.

Please join us in giving him a very warm welcome as he begins this exciting new chapter with our practice! 💙
