📅 How to Make Your GP Appointment Go Smoothly 📅

A little preparation can help us to help you 💙

🔹Use AskMyGP – it helps our clinicians triage and respond appropriately

🔹Have your symptoms ready – when did they start? What makes them better or worse?

🔹Bring a list of medications – including over-the-counter medicines 💊 and supplements

🔹Arrive on time – this helps keep clinics running smoothly for everyone

🔹Please remove your coat 🧥 when waiting – your clinician may need to check your blood pressure at the start of your appointment

🔹Be open and honest – the more we know, the better we can support you

🔹Ask questions – if you’re unsure about anything, please ask

Thank you for working with us to keep appointments running efficiently and safely for all our patients

💙 💚Your health matters to us.

🚨This week is Cervical Cancer Prevention Week 🚨

NHS England has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

The HPV vaccination, cervical screening and treatment for cell changes can all help prevent cervical cancer.

Get your HPV vaccine and book your cervical screening when invited.

Key facts about HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

* 4 out of 5 people get HPV at some time in their life. There are over 100 strains of HPV. Some of these are called 'high-risk' as they may lead to certain cancers, including cervical, pe**le and a**l.

* All 12 and 13-year-olds in Year 8 are offered the HPV vaccine to help prevent certain cancers. If your child was eligible for the vaccine and missed out at school, please contact the School Aged Immunisation Team

* The HPV vaccination can help stop cervical cancer from developing. The HPV vaccine protects against most high-risk HPV strains but it's important you attend your cervical screening appointment even if have been vaccinated.

* HPV vaccination and cervical screening together gives us the best chance of eradicating cervical cancer. So please, get the HPV vaccine and book your cervical screening when invited.

❄️ Winter Health Tip – Vitamin D ❄️

During the winter months, sunlight levels are lower, which means many people may not get enough vitamin D from natural sources alone.

The NHS recommends that everyone considers taking a daily vitamin D supplement (10 micrograms / 400 IU) during autumn 🍂 and winter ❄️ to help keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. 💪🦴

If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, 🤰🏻 or take regular medication, please speak to a pharmacist or clinician for advice.

Stay well this winter 💙💚

💚 Treat Yourself With Kindness 💚

January can feel like a very long month.

If you’re finding January a bit tough, you’re not alone. It’s okay to slow down, take a breath and be kind to yourself.

Little things matter — a warm drink ☕️ a short walk 🚶‍♀️, a proper rest, or simply giving yourself permission to take things one step at a time.

💬 If you’re struggling with your health or wellbeing, our team is here to support you. Please reach out if you need us.

💕 Be gentle with yourself — you deserve it.

🌧️ Life’s Storms 🌈

Difficult times — whether they’re about grief, mental health, physical illness, or personal struggles — often feel impossible to navigate.

When you’re in the middle of it, it can be hard to see how you’ll ever come out the other side.

This quote captures it beautifully:

**“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain:
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. 💙💚

📞 Our phones were working overtime in December 📞

December was a very busy month and our brilliant reception team were flat out answering calls.

In December 2025:

• 3,141 calls were answered
• Average queue time: 3 minutes 33 seconds ⏱️

😠 Not a fan of waiting in a queue?

You can request a call back and carry on with your day.

114 of you did just that in December – a great way to avoid waiting on the line.

Why not give it a try next time you call ?

💙 Thank you, as always, for your patience, kindness and understanding – it really does mean a lot to our reception team.

💙💚
