It's Cervical Screening Awareness Week - which is a great opportunity to share that we organise two Saturday morning smear clinics each month!

If you're due, contact your Practice and book your appointment today. We are also sending out reminder texts with direct appointment booking links for ease.

Our advice is to book a smear 2 weeks after your period, 3 months after birth or miscarriage and 12 weeks after a vaginal ultrasound.

We also understand that for some, this can be a difficult procedure to tolerate. Our nurses welcome conversations to help you feel more at ease and discuss other solutions that could help - especially if you are going through the menopause.

SPOTLIGHT: MSK Clinics

The PCN helps to deliver additional appointments outside of usual surgery opening times. You may have heard this being referred to as 'Enhanced Access'.

We offer a Musculoskeletal (MSK) service during weekday evenings. Patients with aches, pains and a lack of mobility in their muscles, joints, or bones can ask to book an appointment to see our GP specialist, Dr Tom Jenkins. He delivers these clinics at the Wilson Health Centre, Overton Park Surgery and Underwood Surgery.

Dr Tom Jenkins is able to deal with any complex MSK issues, can see children under 18, and can perform soft tissue and joint injections.

Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. When you're going through a tough time, a simple meal or food parcel can make a big difference. Local organisations even offer additional support, such as provide toiletries, give advice on finances, housing or mental health, and lend an ear for a supportive chat over a cup of tea. 🫂☕️

Please take a look at the *new* Gloucestershire Food Map here:
https://www.feedinggloucestershire.org.uk/food-map/
This map is designed to make it easier for those in need to find the local food support that best fits their specific situation.

🍊Food Banks - provides free emergency food parcels to people in crisis who are unable to afford food

🍎Food Pantries - membership based shops offering affordable groceries and choice

🍌Community Fridges - free surplus food open to everyone to help reduce food waste

🍇Lunch Clubs & Community Meals - opportunities to share a hot meal and connect with others

🍓Growing & Cooking Projects - community gardens and allotments focused on long-term skills and sustainability

See the image below for details of local food support in Cheltenham, in addition to the foodbank.
Thank you to the wonderful people at Feeding Gloucestershire & Cheltenham Foodbank!

Today we are celebrating the Transgender Day of Visibility! 🥳🏳️‍⚧️

This day is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments and victories of transgender people while raising awareness of the work still needed to end the continued discrimination, harassment, and harm against the trans community and their families.

Cheltenham Central PCN have a proud partnership with Identity Space Glos to provide support and advice to our transgender patients. Here is some of the feedback from our attendees:

"I want to have a better relationship with my family. It has hurt me how my brother has just not spoken to me since telling him I was changing my name. Having friends at the group has made me feel valued and it has given me a focus."

"I am really happy attending this group. Sometimes we talk about hard stuff and other times I leave with aching cheeks because there has been a lot of laughter too. I don't notice the negative media quite so much now."

If you are registered at Berkeley Place Surgery, The Royal Crescent Surgery, Overton Park Surgery, Underwood Surgery or Yorkleigh Surgery, please ask your GP for more information if you are interested in joining this group.

Today we’re celebrating National ! 🥳

A huge thank you to our amazing Social Prescribers who work tirelessly to support patients *beyond* traditional healthcare. We’re incredibly proud of the difference they make every day in helping our patients live healthier, happier lives. 💚

By listening, showing understanding about what matters most to people, and connecting them with local services and community support, they help improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, and empower individuals to take control of their health.

Here is some feedback we wanted to share from a young patient after being supported by us:

‘'I think the top thing is your engagement and communication with me. You come up with solutions and ways to support myself and you give so much honest feedback, this has been so helpful. Out of everyone I’ve ever spoken to, you are the only one who listens and has been helpful in the things you say. You've really helped a lot. I take away a lot from our sessions like help with my anxiety and how I see things. You've had a positive impact on my life. Thank you for everything'.

Contact your GP surgery to ask about our Children’s Social Prescribers, our Adult Social Prescribers and our Frailty teams.
