When was the last time you checked in on your own health?

During Men's Health Week, we're encouraging men of all ages to take positive steps towards living healthier, stronger and longer lives.

Many health conditions can be managed more effectively when identified early, yet men are often less likely to seek help or attend routine health checks.

Three simple reminders this week:
• Move – Stay active in a way that works for you
• Check – Attend health checks, screenings and reviews when invited
• Talk – Speak openly about your physical and mental health

Looking after your health isn't a sign of weakness. It's one of the most important things you can do for yourself and those around you.

Local support:
Men's Health Forum offers trusted advice and resources for men's health and wellbeing.

Scoliosis can affect people of all ages, but early recognition can make a real difference.

During Scoliosis Awareness Month, we're helping to raise awareness of this condition, which causes the spine to curve sideways.

Scoliosis most commonly develops during childhood or adolescence, but it can also affect adults.

Possible signs to look out for include:
• Uneven shoulders
• One shoulder blade more prominent than the other
• Uneven hips
• Clothes hanging unevenly
• A visible curve in the spine

Many cases are mild, but some people may need monitoring or treatment to help manage symptoms and prevent progression.

Local support:
Scoliosis Support & Research UK (SSR) offers information, resources and support for individuals and families affected by scoliosis.

Awareness helps people seek advice sooner and access the support they need.

Looking after our health starts with understanding our bodies and recognising when something isn't quite right.

Do you help look after a family member, friend or neighbour? You may be a carer, even if you don't think of yourself as one.

This Carers Week, we're recognising the incredible contribution unpaid carers make every day and raising awareness of the support available within our community.

Being a carer can be rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. It's important that carers remember to look after their own health and wellbeing too.

If you're a carer, consider:
• Attending your own health appointments and screenings
• Taking regular breaks when possible
• Seeking support when caring responsibilities become overwhelming
• Connecting with local carer support services

Local support:
Carers First Lincolnshire offers information, advice and support for unpaid carers across the county.

If you know someone who provides care for a loved one, take a moment to thank them this week.

👉 Please share this post or tag a carer who deserves recognition and support.

Take care of yourself as well as those you care for.

June is Men’s Health Month, a reminder that looking after your health is just as important as looking after everyone else around you.

Many health conditions can be treated more effectively when picked up early, but too often symptoms are ignored or health checks are delayed.

Simple steps can make a big difference:
• Stay active
• Attend routine health checks
• Speak up about your mental health
• Seek advice if something doesn’t feel right

Useful support is also available through:
• 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿
• 𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺
• 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀

We wanted to share some recent figures regarding appointments at Greyfriars surgery.
Over the month of April, we have had a total of 4994 appointments. Out of these, 374 were missed without any prior notice. This has resulted in approximately 93 hours of clinical time being lost, time that could have been used to support other patients.
Missed appointments have a direct impact on the availability of care for everyone. If you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to someone else.

𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧. 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

This Stroke Awareness Month, we are reminding everyone how important it is to recognise the signs of a stroke and act quickly.

A stroke is a medical emergency. The sooner treatment is given, the better the outcome.

Remember 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧:
✅𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲 – has the face dropped on one side?
✅𝗔𝗿𝗺𝘀 – can they raise both arms?
✅𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵 – is speech slurred or difficult?
✅𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 – call 999 immediately

Other symptoms can include sudden confusion, vision problems, dizziness or a severe headache.

For advice, prevention tips and support, Stroke Association provides clear guidance and resources.
