𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲!
Start the year strong by taking a simple step towards better heart health. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called a "silent killer" because it rarely shows noticeable symptoms, yet it significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. The only way to know your numbers is to get checked, and with many local pharmacies offering free, quick checks for those over 40, it’s easier than ever to prioritise your wellbeing.
Remember that prevention is always better than cure.

Cervical screening (smear tests) saves lives by helping to prevent cervical cancer through early detection of changes that may need treatment. If you’ve received an invitation, please don’t delay booking your appointment - even if you feel well and have no symptoms. The test is quick, and our clinical team will do everything they can to help you feel comfortable and supported. If you’re unsure whether you’re due, or have questions or concerns about cervical screening, please contact the surgery and we’ll be happy to help.

We all know that a great day starts the night before, yet many of us still struggle to get the rest we truly need.
Our latest guide highlights three essential pillars for better sleep: establishing a consistent routine, unplugging from screens, and hitting that 7–9 hour sweet spot.
Whether you're looking to boost your mood or sharpen your focus, these small changes can make a world of difference to your overall wellbeing.

As we look back on 2025, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved 💙
Behind the scenes, we raised money for several charities, officially became a parkrun practice, and some of our team have volunteered and taken part in our local parkrun.
We also introduced Rapid Health to make managing appointments quicker and easier, and began offering free educational talks with our GPs to help patients learn more about their health.
Please keep an eye on our page for more details about upcoming educational talks. Thank you to everyone who has supported and taken part this year 📆
