🌟 Patient Participation Group (PPG) Awareness Week 🌟

This week we're celebrating Patient Participation Group (PPG) Awareness Week and recognising the important role PPGs play in helping shape local healthcare services.

PPGs bring patients and practice staff together to share ideas, provide feedback, and work collaboratively to improve services for everyone in the community.

By getting involved, patients can have their voices heard, influence positive change, and help ensure healthcare services meet the needs of local people.

Thank you to all our PPG members for their time, commitment, and valuable contributions.

Interested in finding out more or joining our PPG? Please get in touch – we'd love to hear from you!

Enjoying the sunshine? Make sure you’re protecting your skin properly ☀️

Sunscreen is important, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defence. Wearing suitable clothing, spending time in the shade, and avoiding the sun when it’s strongest (11am–3pm) can all help reduce your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage 🌤️

When choosing sunscreen, look for:
• SPF 30 or higher to protect against UVB rays
• At least 4-star UVA protection or a UVA symbol in a circle
• Broad-spectrum protection covering both UVA and UVB ☀️

Don’t forget to apply sunscreen generously about 20–30 minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating 💧

Even water-resistant sunscreen needs reapplying, as water and towels can remove it more easily than you think 🌊
