“Sorry doc… I Googled my symptoms.”

You’re allowed to. Really.

The internet isn’t the enemy — it’s just… a very noisy place. Some information is helpful, some is misleading, and some is downright anxiety-inducing.

That’s where I come in.

Think of me as your filter.
Bring what you’ve read, what you’re worried about, and what doesn’t make sense — and we’ll sort through it together.

No judgement. Just clarity. 💬

What you think being a GP is like vs what it really is like 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

What people think:
• “It’s just coughs, colds & antibiotics”
• Quick 10-minute chats and you’re done
• Routine, predictable days
• Lots of coffee breaks ☕
• Referring everything “serious” away

What it’s actually like:
• Being a detective 🕵️‍♀️ — spotting the one serious diagnosis hidden among many mild symptoms
• Managing everything — from mental health to chronic disease to emergencies
• Patients who trust you with their most vulnerable moments
• Balancing medicine, admin, counselling, and sometimes… tech support 😅
• Carrying responsibility that doesn’t switch off at 5pm

The truth?
Being a GP isn’t “just basics” — it’s being the front line, the safety net, and often the constant in a patient’s life.

At our practice, we stand firmly against gender-based violence.

The 16 Days of Activism (25 Nov–10 Dec) remind us that every person deserves safety, dignity, and a voice.

As healthcare professionals, we see the impact of violence on bodies, minds, and families. And we are committed to providing a safe, confidential space where victims are heard, supported, and cared for.

Together, we can build a community where women and children are protected, believed, and empowered.

💗 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

October is dedicated to raising awareness and offering support to families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. This month reminds us of the importance of compassion, understanding, and open conversation around a deeply personal and often silent grief.

Pregnancy loss affects many families, yet it is seldom spoken about. By acknowledging this loss, we honour the lives that were brief but deeply loved, and we stand with those who continue to heal. 🌷

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women — but early detection saves lives.

✔️ Women over 40: book your mammogram every 1–2 years
✔️ Do monthly self-breast checks
✔️ Report any new lumps, skin changes, or ni**le discharge

Know your risk and stay proactive about your health. 💗
