Ahead of next week, we're shining a spotlight on the work of Andys Man Club in the latest episode of The 20 Minute Clinic podcast. 🎙️🎧

In Episode 17, Dr Amit Paik is joined by Chris Green from Andy's Man Club to discuss the support the organisation provides for men across Cumbria and beyond.

You may have heard of Andy's Man Club but still be unsure exactly what it is, how it works, or what happens when someone attends a session 🤔 In this episode, Chris helps answer those questions, explaining how the organisation operates and why its simple message, "It's Okay To Talk", continues to resonate with so many men.

Drawing on his own experiences, Chris also shares how Andy's Man Club has helped him personally, offering an honest insight into the value of peer support, connection, and having a space where men can talk openly without judgement.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

- What Andy's Man Club is and how it works
- The support available for men across Cumbria
- The benefits of peer-to-peer support
- Chris's own journey with Andy's Man Club
- How men can access support locally

This episode provides a valuable introduction to a growing network that is making a real difference in communities across the region.

We have recently sent a text message survey to patients with a mobile number regarding appointment types and access at the practice.
We are inviting patients to share their views and experiences around different ways of accessing care. The survey is intended to help us better understand patient preferences and ensure we continue to meet the needs of our local community.
If you did not receive a text message, or would prefer to complete a paper copy, these are available to collect from reception.
Thank you for helping us shape future services at the practice.
