Remember, Remember… 🔥🎇 Bonfire Night is a tradition, but also one that poses easily avoidable risks. Remember to keep your distance from open flames and fireworks, only buy from licenced sellers, keep sparklers at arm’s length and ensure children are sufficiently supervised.

Oral cancer can affect anyone, but knowing some of the signs can help you to take action sooner. The most common way mouth cancer starts is as a painless red or white patch, or ulcer in the mouth that does not heal within three weeks. If you have any concerns, please contact us.

Has your child been invited for their nasal flu vaccination? The vaccination is the most effective way to protect your child against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia. The nasal spray is also painless, no injection needed! Make your appointment today!

Yes, it’s that time of year again! 🥸 Even if you can’t grow a good 'tache, you can take the time to consider your health. Many men’s health issues can be prevented by having early conversations and getting seen by health professionals. Remember, do not be afraid or ashamed.

1. Get regular exercise. The weather can be grim this time of year, but a bit of light exercise daily can help to keep things in check 2. Make time to relax. We’re not designed to be on the go every second. If you need some downtime between life commitments, do not feel guilty.

3. Talk it out. If a particular issue or event is causing you stress, talk it through with somebody you trust to release some tension. 4. Set yourself reasonable expectations. You can only do what you can do and sometimes taking on too much can mean you end up worse off.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. More info 📷 nhs.uk/tests.../cervical-scr…

Are you aware of ‘Cuckooing’? Cuckooing is when criminals take over a vulnerable person’s home and use it for things such as storing drugs, for sexual exploitation purposes, or to facilitate financial abuse. If you suspect a property is being cuckooed, call 101.

As winter looms, so do all the nasty viruses that thrive in the cold weather. Remember, if you do have a cold or similar condition, cough and sneeze into a tissue and make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards to limit the spread of germs.

Did you know there are different types of Breast Cancer you can be diagnosed with? To catch cancer at its earliest stage, make sure you are regularly checking your chest for abnormalities and please seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel quite right.

Just because we take your blood sometimes does not mean we’re vampires… But please remember, if you do require a blood test in surgery, your appointment must now be pre-booked in advance. This is to avoid long waits and eliminate the risk of not being seen.
