PLEASE HELP US REDUCE MISSED APPOINTMENTS BY

✅ Canceling in advance if you can no longer attend, so we can offer your appointment to another patient.

⏰ Arriving on time for your appointment.

🚗 Allowing plenty of time for your journey and parking. Traffic and finding a space can take longer than expected, so please plan ahead.

📍 Parking is available behind Allsaints Church. Please factor in time to travel to the surgery, park your car and arrive for your appointment on time.

We understand that unexpected things happen, but missed appointments can make it harder for other patients to access the care they need.

🙏 Thank you for your cooperation. By working together, we can make the best use of our appointments and help more patients get seen.

All of our staff are here to help you, and they deserve to be treated with the same courtesy and respect that we expect them to show our patients.

The team at Lightwater Surgery would like to say a huge thank you for all of the well wishes, support and donations we have had over the last few months. We managed to raise an amazing £8,240 for Bowel Cancer UK.

We would like to take this opportunity to raise awareness to the signs and symptoms of Bowel Cancer:

🩸 Bleeding from your bottom
🚽 Blood in your poo
🧻 A change in how often you poo, or regularly having diarrhoea
⚖️ Loosing weight but you are not sure why
😴 Feeling tired all the time but you’re not sure why
😖 Pain or lump in your tummy

It’s important to know the symptoms of bowel cancer to help spot the disease early. The earlier it’s found, the more treatable it’s likely to be. Having these symptoms doesn’t always mean you have bowel cancer, but it’s still important to find out what’s causing them and speak to your GP.

Please don’t ignore the bowel cancer screening program invitations.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so it’s important to take up your invitation when it arrives.

If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.

You can’t opt in to HPV self testing if you’re eligible, the NHS will contact you.
