Not something we ever expect to post…

An egg was thrown through a window into a consultation room this week while a nurse was seeing a patient.

No one was hurt, but it’s not acceptable. We’ve reported it and will be taking steps to prevent it happening again.

We’re here to look after the community – please help us keep the surgery a safe place for everyone.

Stress Awareness 💚

Stress is something we all experience at times, but when it becomes overwhelming or long-lasting, it can start to affect both your mental and physical health.

You might notice changes such as feeling constantly worried or irritable, struggling to sleep, finding it hard to concentrate, or feeling run-down and low in energy. These are common signs that your body may be under too much pressure.

Taking small steps can make a big difference. Making time to rest, staying active, talking to someone you trust, and asking for support when you need it are all important ways to manage stress.

If stress is affecting your daily life, please don’t struggle alone. We are here to help get in touch with the practice to speak to a GP.

Bowel Cancer Awareness 🚨

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, but when it is found early, it is highly treatable.

It’s important to be aware of possible symptoms, which can include blood in your poo, a change in your usual bowel habits such as going more often or having looser stools, ongoing tummy pain or bloating, unexplained weight loss, or feeling unusually tired for no clear reason.

These symptoms don’t always mean cancer, but if you notice anything unusual for three weeks or more, it’s important to get checked.

If you’ve been sent a bowel screening kit, please make sure you complete it and return it. It could save your life.
