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

Highly trained pharmacists can provide expert advice, recommend treatments and, for some common conditions, offer NHS treatment through the Pharmacy First service without you needing to see a GP first ๐Ÿ‘

Pharmacy First can help with seven common conditions, including:

โ€ข Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
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)
โ€ข Shingles (aged 18 years and over)

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’™

Dear Patients,

We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Devin Gray and Jak Linsell (Wandsworth GP Federation) will be talking about AI usage in Wandsworth Practices at our next PPG meeting.

๐Ÿ“… Date: Wednesday 23 September 2026
โฐ Time: 14:00 - 16:00 hrs
๐Ÿ“ Place: East Hill Baptist Church, 182 East Hill, London SW18 2HD (as normal)

Artificial intelligence is appearing in more and more parts of everyday life, and many people will understandably be wondering what role it is playing in their healthcare.

In this session, Dr Devin Gray, a local GP and Clinical Lead for Digital Transformation for Wandsworth GP Federation CIC, will explain in plain terms how AI is - and isn't - being used in general practice across Wandsworth.

Devin will be joined by Jak Linsell and Pamela Wilson from the Federation, who work closely with local practices day to day and will speak to what these changes mean on the ground, from how your requests are handled to the everyday realities for the staff who support your care.

Together they will look at what happens when you contact your practice, the tools now supporting GPs and practice teams behind the scenes, and the safeguards around your data, privacy and consent.

The aim is a frank, jargon-free discussion, with time set aside for your questions and concerns.

We look forward to seeing you there.

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’™

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

Have you been invited for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screening? Itโ€™s important to attend ๐Ÿ’™

AAA screening is offered to men in England during the year they turn 65. The screening test looks for a swelling (aneurysm) in the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood from your heart to the rest of your body ๐Ÿฉบ

An abdominal aortic aneurysm often causes no symptoms, which means many people don't know they have one. If an aneurysm grows and bursts, it can be life-threatening, which is why early detection is so important โš ๏ธ

The screening itself is quick, painless and similar to an ultrasound scan. Most appointments take less than 10 minutes and can provide reassurance or help identify any problems early ๐Ÿ‘

You'll usually only need to be screened once, unless an aneurysm is found and requires monitoring ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ

If you've received an invitation, don't ignore it. Attending your appointment could save your life ๐Ÿ’™
