- An emergency, e.g. chest pain, stroke symptoms, breathing difficulties, in these cases please call 999.

- One of the 7 common conditions where a local Pharmacy can now provide advice and treatment. In these cases, please contact/visit a local pharmacy for advice first (visit NHS England’s website for more information).


If your need is NOT urgent, please try the following…

- Contact the practice via our online consultations link on our webpage (windermerehealthcentre.nhs.uk).

- Phone 111 or go online to 111.nhs.uk for NHS advice.

Afternoon everyone,

Massive thanks to our patients and staff for the kind donations to our second food-bank collection this week.

Windermere & District Foodbank will be picking it all up on Tuesday afternoon, so there's still time to drop something off! (*hint* *hint* 😉)

You're a great bunch, have a good weekend.

Protect your child against HPV-related cancers 💉

There are many strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Some are high-risk and can lead to cancers such as cervical, pe**le, and a**l cancer later in life.

That’s why the NHS offers the HPV vaccine to boys and girls aged 12 to 13, to protect them before they’re ever exposed to the virus.

The vaccine is safe, effective, and gives long-lasting protection. It’s one of the best ways to help keep your child healthy in the future.

✅ Make sure they don’t miss out.
