💙 Carers Week 2026 💙
This week, we’re recognising and celebrating the incredible contribution of unpaid carers in our community.
A carer is anyone who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help due to illness, disability, mental health, or substance misuse – and many people don’t even realise they are carers.
At Sunrise Medical Practice, we want you to know:
👉 You’re not alone
👉 Support is available
👉 We’re here to help
If you are a carer, please let us know so we can:
✅ Add this to your medical record
✅ Offer additional support and flexibility
✅ Signpost you to local services and resources
Even if you're a student balancing studies and caring responsibilities, support is available for you too.
📞 Speak to our team
🌐 Visit the NHS website for support guidance
💬 Or send us a message via the NHS App
Let’s take this opportunity to recognise carers and ensure they get the support they deserve 💙

🩵Happy International Nurses Day🩵

Today, we're celebrating the incredible work of nurses everywhere!

Nurses are at the heart of healthcare, offering support, kindness and expertise to everyone they care for. We're so grateful to have you both as part of our team.

A huge thank you to SMPs nurses Gemma and Karen for your dedication, compassion and the exceptional care you provide to our patients every day. Your hard work truly makes a difference.

May is National Walking Month, organised by walking charity Living Streets. This year, they are highlighting the benefits of walking for women and asking women to - and get outside for a walk each day in May for their own wellbeing. Women are more likely to make multi-purpose journeys, such as combining school drop-offs, care responsibilities and errands within a single trip. Living Streets wants women to go for a walk for themselves- and their own enjoyment. Across the UK, people of all ages and genders are finding joy in a daily walk - why not join them? Living Streets is also helping to organise some in-person events for a special on Friday 29 May, visit www.livingstreets.org.uk for more info.
