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:
๐Ÿ’™ At your GP practice
๐Ÿ’™ At many local pharmacies
๐Ÿ’™ 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. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿšถ

Don't wait for symptoms โ€“ because there often aren't any. Know your numbers and take control of your heart health today. โค๏ธ

Important patient notice โ€“ Friday 4 September

Cranleigh Medical Practice will be moving to a new clinical computer system from Monday 7 September.

To allow us to prepare safely for this change, we will be running a limited service for the remainder of today and will close at 5pm.

Please do not contact the practice today for routine care, repeat medication requests, test results, letters, forms or other administrative requests.

Our new system will go live on Monday, and we expect the first few days of next week to be particularly busy while our team adjusts to new ways of working. If your request is routine and can safely wait, we would be very grateful if you could contact us later in the week rather than on Monday.

If you have an urgent clinical problem that cannot safely wait, please contact us before 4pm today. We will assess your request and provide care where we are able to, although you may be directed to NHS 111 or another appropriate urgent care service.

Please also be aware that the NHS App and online services through the practice website will be unavailable during the system change and are expected to return from 8am on Monday 7 September.

We appreciate your patience and support while we make this important change. Keeping routine requests until later next week will help us prioritise patients who need us most while the new system beds in.

If you have a medical emergency, call 999.

Regular physical activity can help you adapt to the changes happening to your body, support your overall wellbeing and prepare your body for labour. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

If your pregnancy is uncomplicated, you can usually continue with your normal daily physical activity or exercise for as long as you feel comfortable. Activities such as walking, swimming and pregnancy-friendly exercise can all be great ways to keep moving. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

โ€ข Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterwards.
โ€ข Keep well hydrated, particularly during warmer weather. ๐Ÿ’ง
โ€ข Avoid exercising in very hot conditions.
โ€ข Don't exhaust yourself โ€“ you should still be able to hold a conversation while exercising.
โ€ข Avoid activities where there's a risk of falling or being hit.
โ€ข After 16 weeks, avoid exercising while lying flat on your back for long periods.

If you weren't active before pregnancy, don't suddenly begin strenuous exercise. Start gently and build up gradually. ๐Ÿ‘

Every pregnancy is different, so speak to your midwife or healthcare professional if you're unsure which activities are suitable for you. ๐Ÿ’™

Need advice about a common health condition? Your local pharmacy could be your first stop ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’™

โ€ข Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
โ€ข Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
โ€ข Sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
โ€ข Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
โ€ข Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)

Pharmacists are also available to help with many other everyday health concerns, including coughs, colds, hay fever, aches and pains, digestive problems, medicines advice, healthy living support and more ๐ŸŒฟ

If your condition needs further assessment, your pharmacist will make sure you're directed to the right NHS service. They can also identify when symptoms may need urgent medical attention โš ๏ธ

Choosing Pharmacy First can help you get expert advice more quickly while helping to keep GP appointments available for people who need them most ๐Ÿ’™

Persistent gut symptoms should never be ignored ๐Ÿ’œ

Crohnโ€™s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and early diagnosis can make a big difference

Symptoms can include ongoing diarrhoea, stomach pain, blood in poo, weight loss, and extreme tiredness ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Many people delay getting help due to embarrassment or uncertainty, but getting checked early is important ๐Ÿค

Trying for a baby? Understanding your menstrual cycle and when you ovulate can help you identify the days when you're most likely to become pregnant ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿ’™

Ovulation usually happens around 10โ€“16 days before your next period starts. This is when an egg is released from the o***y and is available to be fertilised ๐Ÿฅš

Because s***m can survive in the body for several days, there is a "fertile window" during each cycle when pregnancy is more likely to occur ๐Ÿ“…

An ovulation calculator can help estimate when you may be ovulating based on the length of your menstrual cycle, making it a useful tool if you're trying to conceive ๐Ÿ‘

Remember that every person is different, and factors such as stress, illness and irregular periods can affect ovulation ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you've been trying to get pregnant and would like further advice, speak to your GP or healthcare professional ๐Ÿ’™

28/08/2026

With the Bank Holiday approaching, it's important to know how to access NHS services if you need help over the long weekend. ๐Ÿ’™

Many GP practices will be closed on Bank Holiday days, but there are still a range of NHS services available if you need medical advice, treatment or urgent care. ๐Ÿฅ

โœ… Use NHS 111 online for medical advice and support
โœ… Call 111 if you need urgent medical help but it's not an emergency
โœ… Visit your local pharmacy for advice on common illnesses and minor injuries
โœ… Use NHS online services to manage prescriptions and access health information
โœ… Call 999 or attend A&E for life-threatening emergencies only

If you take regular medication, remember to order any repeat prescriptions in plenty of time before the Bank Holiday to avoid running out. ๐Ÿ’Š

Planning ahead can help you enjoy the long weekend and ensure you know where to turn if you need healthcare support. โ˜€๏ธ
