💛 R U OK?

🫂R U OK? Day is a reminder to check in with the people around us — but you don’t need to wait for someone to be visibly struggling before asking.

🧑‍⚕️As a GP practice, we see every day that mental health and physical health are closely connected. Stress, anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, burnout and life changes can all affect your health.

💛If you’re not feeling like yourself, you can talk to your GP. You don't need to have everything figured out before making an appointment, and you don't need to wait until things become a crisis.

A simple place to start is:

💬Ask: “Are you really OK?”
👂Listen: Give them time and space to talk.
👏Encourage: If they need support, encourage them to speak with their GP or another trusted health professional.
🫂Check in: Keep the conversation going.

💛 And if the person who isn’t OK is you, please reach out. We’re here to help.

💜 FASD Awareness Day!

🤰 FASD Awareness Day is observed annually on September 9th, the 9th day of the 9th month, symbolising the importance of a full nine month alcohol-free pregnancy.

💜Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Alcohol can affect a developing baby at any stage of pregnancy, and there is no known safe amount or safe time to drink during pregnancy.

🤰If you’re pregnant or planning a pregnancy, the safest choice is not to drink alcohol.

💜If you’re concerned about alcohol use during pregnancy, please speak with your GP or healthcare professional. Support is available, and you will be treated with understanding and without judgement.

🤰Nine months. No alcohol. Give your baby the best start.

💬 NO SILLY QUESTIONS 🩺

“Is this something I should actually see my GP about?”

Yes. Ask us.

There are plenty of things people put off talking about because they feel embarrassed, awkward or worried that they’re “making a fuss”.

But we talk about these things every day.

🩷 Periods and menopause
🧠 Stress, anxiety and low mood
💗 Sexual health and contraception
🚽 Bowel or bladder changes
🩺 Changes in your body that you're concerned about
💊 Medications and side effects
🍷 Alcohol, smoking and other lifestyle concerns
⚖️ Weight and healthy lifestyle
😴 Sleep problems

You don't need to know what's wrong before making an appointment. That's what we're here for.

So if you've been thinking, “Should I ask my GP about this?” — take that as your sign.

There really is no silly question. 💙

🚨 DON’T IGNORE IT!

Most symptoms are not a sign of something serious, but persistent or unexplained changes are worth getting checked.

Have you noticed:

🔹 A new or unusual lump
🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 A change in your bowel or bladder habits that doesn't settle
🔹 Unusual or persistent bleeding
🔹 A cough, pain or change that keeps coming back
🔹 A symptom that just doesn't seem to be going away

It can be tempting to put it down to stress, getting older, or search for answers online.

Instead, make an appointment with your GP. 🩺

Getting something checked doesn't mean something is wrong. It simply means you're looking after your health and giving yourself peace of mind.

💙 If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore it. Let's check it out.
