Dr Harrison is retiring...
Dear Cornerstone
It is with a sense of great sadness that, after 35 years as a GP at the practice I am announcing my retirement on 1st September 2026. I have never lost sight of the extraordinary privilege it has been
to share in the lives of so many. I have seen children grow up to have children of their own, have stood alongside during challenge and overcoming, wept with sadness and celebrated joys. This
has been the best job in the world.
Several people have asked if I will return perhaps to work part time or as a locum, but I’m afraid I am hanging up my stethoscope for good, however, I will still be found, shopping in Lidl, at church,
or running at Parkrun. This chapter is closed and a new begins, as I start a course in creative writing, take up pottery and (hopefully) run a few marathons!
Sadly there will not be enough time in the next few weeks for me to say good bye to all of you who have been so special in my General Practice journey, but there is a book available to sign and
write in at reception, if anyone would like to do so. Also we are hosting a ‘goodbye coffee morning’ 💁‍♀️at the practice from 10-12.30 on Saturday 5th September. All are welcome (any proceeds to the
Cornerstone equipment fund)
With my love, thanks and respect to you all
Dr Wendy Harrison

Good nutrition and hydration are essential for overall health, energy levels and how your body feels day to day.

Eating a balanced diet with a variety of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and protein helps fuel your body, while drinking enough water supports circulation, digestion and joint health. Hydration also plays a role in keeping connective tissues, including fascia, supple and functioning well. Small, realistic changes to your diet can make a big difference over time, and planning ahead is especially important during periods of fasting to maintain safe hydration and nutrient intake. 🥗💧💙✨

Don't forget! ⏰

The clocks go forward 1 hour this Sunday for Daylight Saving Time.

If your clocks don't update automatically, remember to change them before going to bed on Saturday night.

A simple change, but an easy one to forget!

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range 📊

Knowing your BMI can help identify if you may be underweight, overweight or at risk of health conditions linked to weight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

While BMI is a useful starting point, it does not tell the whole story 👇
Waist measurement is also important, as carrying extra weight around your middle can increase your risk of health problems, even if your BMI falls within a healthy range.

Understanding both measurements can help you make informed choices about your health and seek support if needed 💙✨

Social Prescribing Day celebrates the power of community, connection and non-medical support to improve health and wellbeing. 🌿✨

Social prescribing links people to local activities, groups and services that can help with loneliness, stress, finances, housing, physical health and more. Being part of a community, trying new social activities or accessing practical advice can have a positive impact on both mental and physical wellbeing.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨
