🩺 Did You Know?

An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) often has no symptoms — but if left undetected, it can be life-threatening.

✅ Good news: A simple, quick ultrasound screening could save your life!

👥 Who should get screened?

• Men aged 65–75 who have ever smoked.

• Anyone with a family history of AAA.

• Your doctor may recommend screening if you have other risk factors.

Early detection is the key to prevention. Don’t wait — check your risk and protect your health.

🎯Target days🎯

Target days are every 3rd Thursday of the month in which we close between 12pm and 6:30pm on that day, we then reopen on Friday at usual time.

On target days the surgery is shut meaning we will not be able to take any phone calls or answer the reception desk as we use these days for training and meetings.
