Missed appointments mean missed opportunities for other patients.

Over the past four months, 389 face-to-face GP appointments have been missed at our surgery. That’s 389 appointments that could have been offered to patients waiting for medical advice, treatment or support.

We understand that plans can change and sometimes you may not be able to attend your appointment. If this happens, please let us know as soon as possible.

Please remember to:
• Cancel your appointment if you can no longer attend.
• Contact the surgery if your circumstances change.
• Let us know as early as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else who needs it.

Even a quick phone call can make a real difference to another patient's care.

This Sunday, 4 October, thousands of runners will take on 13.1 miles around Manchester, and we’ll be cheering you on.

We know that regular physical activity is one of the best things we can do for our health. Running and other forms of exercise can help protect against conditions such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, while also supporting mental wellbeing, sleep, energy levels and overall fitness.

But being active doesn’t have to mean running a half marathon. A brisk walk, a cycle, a swim, a workout at home or simply finding ways to move a little more during the day all count. The NHS recommends that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, and running counts as vigorous activity.

So whether you’re aiming for a personal best, taking it one mile at a time, supporting someone from the sidelines, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, we hope you have a fantastic day.

Good luck, Manchester. We’ll be cheering you on!

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so it’s important to take up your invitation when it arrives.
If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.
You can’t opt in to HPV self-testing – if you’re eligible, the NHS will contact you.

World Humanitarian Day is a time to honour those who step into crises to help others, and to stand with the millions of people whose lives hang in the balance.

Increasingly, every year, hundreds of humanitarian workers are killed, injured, kidnapped or detained in the line of duty or in their homes. Even when these attacks violate international law, they are often ignored, and those responsible walk free. The system is failing not just humanitarian workers, but the people they serve.

Insect bites and stings are not usually serious and get better in a few days. But they can be very painful or itchy, and sometimes they can become infected or cause a serious allergic reaction. If you think a bite or sting has become infected, see a pharmacist.

Sometimes there may be something left in your skin, you can usually remove it yourself. Find out how to do this, and what to do if you get bitten or stung at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/insect-bites-and-stings/.

Some people may experience an extreme allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, and need urgent medical treatment. Symptoms include:
Swelling of the throat and tongue
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or breathing very fast
Feeling tired or confused, faint or dizzy
Cold skin, or blue, grey or pale skin, lips or tongue – if the person has brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of their hands or soles of their feet

If you, or someone you are with has some of these symptoms after a bite or sting, call 999 and ask for an ambulance. If you have an adrenaline auto-injector pen, follow the simple instructions on the side to use it.

The summer holidays can be a stressful time for parents. Trying to find childcare or activities can be time consuming and expensive, and some parents feel guilty at not being able to give their children ‘the best summer ever’. So what can you do to make your summer less stressful?

Avoid expensive theme parks and attractions. Why not consider:
Small, local animal sanctuaries and attractions that may have much cheaper entry
Free play parks, water play areas, woodland, beaches and riversides
Local cafes, which sometimes have a free play area
Paddling pools, sand pits and garden sports
Cooking or gardening together
Arts and crafts
Play dates, picnics, meet-ups in parks with family and friends
When you need to work, look for cheap local activities being run by schools, churches and youth groups. A lot of camps can be paid for with your Tax-Free Childcare account, so you can get up to 20% off the cost.

If you are struggling with stress, or any other mental health difficulties, the charity Mind has lots of resources specifically aimed at parents. To get ideas, reassurance, help and support, visit https://www.mind.org.uk/news-campai...es/supporting-parents-during-school-holidays/

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) aims to empower parents by protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding. Breastfeeding saves the lives of both babies and mothers, and also supports nutrition, development and lifelong health. Breastmilk is a low-cost, locally available nutrition, so it also encourages equality.

This awareness week, everyone is invited to understand and share what is working in countries that are reporting good breastfeeding progress, to help promote a more equal and sustainable start in life for babies worldwide, and a reduction in poverty and better food security for them and their families.

Find out more, and learn about the hashtags you can use to increase awareness on social media at: https://worldbreastfeedingw
