Bowel cancer screening in England is improving. Find out how ⬆️

FIT kits, sent to everyone aged between 50 and 74, will now checked at a lower threshold. This means smaller amounts of blood in poo samples can be spotted — helping to find signs of cancer earlier, treatment can be more successful.

It’s the same simple test, just better at picking things up even earlier. Most people who use their kit won’t need further tests.

When your kit arrives, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

🚨PATIENT UPDATE:A VERY IMPORTANT PIGGY

We had a bit of a celebrity sighting at the surgery today, here is Mr Piggy on Poolstock Lane just leaving the surgery after his annual health check with our nursing team.

We are pleased to report he was on his best behavior (though he did try to swap his urine sample for a bucket of acorns). 🐷🩺

He’s had his blood pressure taken, his trotters checked, and his snout inspected, and he’s now trot-trotting home with a clean bill of health. He even managed to resist the "pork scratchings" joke from the GP... barely.

Are you overdue for your annual review?

Don’t be a boar! If you’ve received an invitation for your annual review, please follow Mr. Piggy’s lead and get booked in. Whether it’s for asthma, diabetes, or blood pressure, we want to make sure you’re feeling "oink-tastic" too.

📞 How to book:
Use askmygp to manage your appointments online.

Or give our reception team a curl... we mean, a call!
Be a good piggy & book your review today! 🍏✨

✨ Clinic Success! ✨

A huge thank you to the 14 wonderful ladies who attended our smear test drop-in clinic this evening! 🩺💖

All of those who visited were either due or overdue for their screenings. We heard many reasons for the delay—from being too busy with life’s demands to feeling a little nervous and putting it off. Some patients even shared that our persistent reminders were exactly what they needed to finally walk through the door!

We know life is incredibly busy, but taking those few minutes for your health is so important. We are so proud of you all for prioritising yourselves tonight.

Missed us? If you are due for a screening, please don't wait, contact us for a convenient appointment or pop down to our monthly drop in.

You can find more information on why these tests are vital at NHS Cervical Screening.

Well done again, ladies! 🙌🌟
