🚭 October is Stoptober - your chance to take control of your health and quit smoking for good 💪🔥

Whether you've quit, started again, or switched to va**ng, it’s vital to let your doctor know. Why? Because smoking directly affects the treatment and management of long-term conditions like:
❤️ Coronary heart disease (CHD)
🦵 Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
🧠 Stroke or TIA
💉 High blood pressure (hypertension)
🩸 Type 2 diabetes
🫁 COPD and asthma (in adults)
💭 History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
🚰 Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Your smoking status plays a big role in your care plan. Don’t keep it to yourself - tell your GP.

💬 Want to quit? Help is out there:
👉 Speak to your GP
👉 Call the NHS Smokefree Helpline 0300 123 1044
👉 Or visit: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/nhs-stop-smoking-services-help-you-quit/

Every day smoke-free is a win 🏆

Pharmacists do so much more than dispense medicines. They offer expert health advice, help manage long-term conditions, provide vaccinations, and guide you on safe, effective treatments. 💊

This year, let’s celebrate the vital role they play in keeping our communities healthy — often as the first point of care.

From 29th September, our practice will be introducing a new way to request appointments and contact us.

GP appointments and administrative queries can be submitted via our new online request forms, available on:

Our website: www.swaffham-doctors.co.uk
The NHS App

How it works:

Medical requests: Complete the relevant form describing your issue. These will be reviewed by our clinical team and directed to the appropriate healthcare professional.

Admin requests (e.g. blood tests, fit notes): These will be reviewed by our reception team and processed within 5 working days.

If you do not have online access, that’s ok, you can still call us. Emma, our AI receptionist will complete the form on your behalf.

We appreciate your patience and support as our team adapts to this new system. We’re confident it will improve access and efficiency for everyone once fully implemented.

Thank you for your understanding.
