💜 Been putting off your cervical screening? You're not alone! 💜

It's completely normal to have questions or feel a little nervous.

That's why, as part of Newcastle Central PCN's - Detect and Protect series, our Practice Nurse, Hannah, has created a short video explaining what happens during a cervical screening. Her aim is to answer common questions, ease any worries, and help you feel more confident about attending your appointment.

🎥 Detect & Protect – Real Stories. Real Lives.

📢 New video series now available

Cancer screening saves lives – but many people don't realise how important it is until it's too late.

We've spoken to local people who have generously shared their own experiences of breast, bowel and cervical screening. Their stories are honest, emotional and inspiring, and show how attending routine screening can make all the difference.

💙 Hear from local people like Steve, Hollie, Hazel, Nichola and Valerie, whose experiences include:

"I'm so lucky my wife nagged me to do it." – Steve

"I was terrified of smear tests... but it wasn't anything like I imagined." – Hollie

"I didn't feel any lump... the mammogram found it." – Hazel

"I felt absolutely fine... but I still had cancer." – Nichola

"It might not be cancer... but if it is, you've caught it early." – Valerie

These aren't actors. These are real local people sharing their experiences to help others feel more confident about attending NHS screening.

Welcome to Newcastle Central Primary Care Network, working together to provide support for these six Newcastle-under-Lyme based GPs- Wolstanton Medical Centre, Lyme Valley, Miller Street Surgery, Higherland, Milehouse Medical Practise and The Village Surgery.

Celebrate Disability Pride Month ❤️💛🤍🩵💚🖤

Disability Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity, achievements and contributions of disabled people, while recognising disability as a valued part of identity. It is a time to recognise the strengths, talents and lived experiences of the UK's 16 million disabled people, while continuing to advocate for accessibility, inclusion and equality.

The Disability Pride Flag

The Disability Pride Flag, created by Ann Magill, represents the diversity of the disabled community and the shared journey towards equality and inclusion.

The five coloured diagonal stripes symbolise different disability experiences, while the charcoal background acknowledges the barriers and discrimination many disabled people continue to face. Together, the flag represents resilience, community, pride and the ongoing movement for disability rights.

What the colours represent

❤️ Red - Physical disabilities and conditions.

💛 Gold - Neurodiversity, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodivergent experiences.

🤍 - White- Non-visible, invisible and undiagnosed disabilities and chronic health conditions.

🩵 Blue - Psychiatric disabilities and mental health conditions.

💚 Green - Sensory disabilities, including people who are Deaf, hard of hearing, blind, partially sighted and those with sensory processing differences.

🖤 Charcoal - The shared experiences of ableism, discrimination and exclusion, while representing solidarity and the continued pursuit of equal.

🩺 Chronic Disease Awareness Day – July 10 💙

Today is Chronic Disease Awareness Day, a time to raise awareness of long-term health conditions that affect millions of people around the world.

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, and many others can last for years or even a lifetime, often requiring ongoing care and management.

This day is about more than awareness — it’s about understanding, compassion, and support for those living with conditions that are often invisible but deeply impactful.

It also highlights the importance of:
• Early detection and regular health check-ups
• Better access to healthcare and treatment
• Education around prevention and healthy living
• Listening to and supporting those affected

Behind every diagnosis is a person navigating daily challenges with strength and resilience.

💙 Let’s work towards a future with better care, more understanding, and stronger support systems for all.

Constant health battles, unseen struggles on a daily basis, a silent quest for understanding, empathy, and support.
