‘’it's okay to feel Not Very Okay. It can be quite normal, in fact. And all you need to do, on those days when you feel Not Very Okay, is come and find me, and tell me. Don't ever feel like you have to hide the fact, Because I will always be there." #mentalhealthawarenessweek

GP practices have received a number of requests for rescue packs’ for patients with Asthma or COPD. If your clinician has not recommended that you have a rescue pack, you do not need one. If your asthma is becoming more poorly controlled, please contact your surgery.
2 consultations today where patients needed paracetamol for pain, and cannot buy any. One of these was for a child. At least one call would not have taken place if they could access paracetamol. People who have stockpiled are increasing suffering and increasing NHS demand.
