💙 Are you a carer? Please let us know.

If you look after, support or help someone who couldn’t manage without you, you may be a carer – even if you don’t think of yourself as one.

Throughout October, we’re encouraging patients who are carers to let our team know when they next visit the practice, including when attending one of our COVID vaccination clinics.
By identifying yourself as a carer, we can make sure our records are up to date and help you access the right information and support when you need it.

💬 Simply speak to a member of the team at your next visit.

Your support matters too. 💙

How healthy is your heart? An NHS Health Check can help you understand your risk of cardiovascular disease. ❤️

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart disease and stroke. Your risk can be influenced by several factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, age and family history. Some factors cannot be changed, but there are important steps you can take to reduce your overall risk.

An NHS Health Check is a free check of your cardiovascular health. It usually includes checking your blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as discussing your family history, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use and other factors that may affect your health. 🩺

High blood pressure and high cholesterol often have no symptoms, so having them checked can help identify potential problems before you know anything is wrong.

NHS Health Checks are generally offered every five years to eligible people aged 40 to 74 who do not already have certain pre-existing conditions. If you're eligible but haven't been invited, you can contact your GP practice. 💙

Breast screening can help find breast cancer before you notice any signs or symptoms. 🎀

NHS breast screening uses X-rays called mammograms to look for breast cancers that may be too small to see or feel. Finding breast cancer earlier can mean treatment is more likely to be successful.

If you're eligible for NHS breast screening, you'll be invited when it's time for your appointment. When you receive your invitation, please take the time to read the information provided and arrange your screening.

Screening is for people without symptoms. If you notice a new lump, changes to the size or shape of your breast, ni**le or skin changes, or anything else that is unusual for you, do not wait for your next screening invitation – contact your GP. 💗

National Health Education Week is a reminder that good health information should be useful and accessible to everyone. 💙

For people with a physical disability or limited mobility, staying active can sometimes require a different approach, but there are many ways to adapt exercise around your individual abilities and needs.

Physical activity can support heart health, strength, joints, maintaining a healthy weight and mental wellbeing. Everyday movements can also form part of staying active, and exercises can often be adapted so they can be completed seated or with mobility aids.

Start with manageable activities, listen to your body and gradually build up what you do. There is no single exercise plan that will suit everyone, so consider speaking to a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise routine if you're unsure what is appropriate for you. 🩺

Focus on what you can do and find activities that work for your body. Every bit of movement counts. 💙

!! Important information about NHS patient list cleansing !!

From time to time, NHS England undertakes a process called patient list cleansing, which helps to ensure GP practice records are up to date and accurate.

Some of our patients might receive a letter from NHS England, asking you to confirm your details and that you still live at your registered address.

It is very important that you respond to this letter, if you receive one. If no response is received, NHS England may automatically remove you from our patient list.

What should you do?

➡ Look out for a letter from NHS England
➡ If you receive a letter please respond promptly
➡ If you do not respond and you end up removed from our list, please re-register with us
➡ If you do not receive a letter, there is nothing you need to do

We’d also encourage anyone living or working in the area not registered with a GP to get registered. If you live within our practice area, it’s easy to register with us online.

Visit the ‘join the surgery’ section on our website, or use the link below to register:

Did you know you can manage appointments through the NHS App? 📱💙

The NHS App can make it easier to keep track of your healthcare. Depending on the services available through your GP surgery and healthcare providers, you can view upcoming appointments, manage GP appointments and access information about hospital and specialist appointments.

For patients who use British Sign Language (BSL), NHS App guidance videos include the option to turn on BSL, including a video explaining how to manage upcoming GP and hospital appointments. 🤟

Using the app can also make it easier to cancel an appointment you no longer need, helping the appointment become available for someone else. If you need to change a GP appointment, you may need to cancel it and book a new one. 📅
