💉Flu and Covid Vaccinations at Chillington Health Centre

**DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED FOR CLINICS DURING EARLY OCTOBER VERY SOON…..

🤧 As we head into autumn, we’d like to remind our eligible patients that our flu and covid vaccination service is available here at the practice.

We are really proud to be able to offer this service to our patients, alongside the care and support we provide throughout the year.

⏰ Our vaccination clinics take a great deal of planning, time and resources to organise, and the level of uptake from our patients is an important part of being able to continue offering this service locally.

🙏 So, if you are eligible for your flu and/or covid vaccination, we really appreciate your support by booking your vaccination with us here at the surgery.

Every appointment booked helps us to continue providing this service for our patients and makes a real difference to our practice.

❤️ Thank you for continuing to support your GP surgery — we genuinely appreciate it.

📞Please keep an eye out for your text invite (or you will receive a phone call if you do not have a mobile). All eligible patients will be contacted.

Thank you 😊

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. Swipe to learn the key symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers, so you know what to look out for.

You know your body better than anyone. Knowing what’s normal for you can help you spot when something changes.

🔢 KNOW YOUR NUMBERS WEEK 🔢

♥️ High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and other serious health conditions. The good news is that it's easy to check and, if needed, it can often be managed with lifestyle changes or treatment.

During ‘Know Your Numbers’ week, everyone is encouraged to find out their blood pressure reading. Whether you're 20 or 80, knowing your numbers is one of the best ways to take control of your health.

This year's theme is "You know your age, do you know your numbers?"

You can have your blood pressure checked:
✅ At your GP practice
✅ At many local pharmacies
✅ At home using a validated blood pressure monitor

🚶 If your blood pressure is high, don't panic. Your healthcare team can support you with advice, lifestyle changes and treatment if needed. Small changes, such as eating less salt, being more active and maintaining a healthy weight, can make a big difference.

Don't wait for symptoms – because there often aren't any. Know your numbers and take control of your heart health today.
