Right now, 5 million UK adults aged 18-64 may have undiagnosed high blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Many don’t even know it. That’s why getting a simple blood pressure check at home could literally be a lifesaver.

High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” – no symptoms, just risk. But knowing your numbers gives you the power to act – whether that’s eating less salt, being more active, or starting medication if needed. Age doesn’t matter. Everyone should Know Their Numbers!

Check your blood pressure checked at your GP practice or local pharmacy.

A special thank you from all of us at the practice

Over the past few days, we had an unexpected guest—a pigeon who found its way into our waiting area and settled on a very high ledge. While it certainly added a bit of drama to our week, we’re incredibly grateful for the patience and understanding shown by our patients during this time. 💙

We’re also deeply thankful to Kieran from Vermicure Pest Control, who was very professional, efficient, and kind throughout. He took great care to ensure the pigeon was removed safely and without harm, using a gentle distraction technique to guide it down and release it back into the open air.

It was a moment of relief and joy for our team to see our little visitor fly free again. 🐦
Thank you again to everyone involved—and to our patients—for your support and compassion.

1 in 5 people in the UK are impacted by bladder problems. 1 in 3 women are living with bladder leakage. With an ageing population, we expect this figure to continue to rise in the coming decade.

From overactive bladder and urge incontinence, to stress incontinence, mixed incontinence, overflow incontinence and many more; there are lots of people who experience bladder leakage. It can be for many reasons. Some females may experience bladder leakage during menopause or after child birth. Some people who have been treated for urology cancers including bladder cancer or prostate cancer may experience bladder leakage. For some people experiencing urinary tract infections, bladder leakage may occur. Lots of people in the UK need to use continence products including catheters and urostomy bags and may deal with leakage issues.

Bladder leakage can impact all aspects of a person’s life. There is also a significant impact on the health service.
