Do you know your health numbers?

Weโ€™ll be out and about across Plymouth libraries offering free blood pressure checks and Know Your Measurements sessions.

Our advanced scales do more than just measure weight โ€“ they give insight into:

- Body fat
- Key health indicators
- Whatโ€™s happening inside your body

This helps you better understand your health and make small, positive changes towards a healthier lifestyle.

Knowing your numbers can help reduce the risk of diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks โ€“ small steps today really can make a big difference tomorrow.

Check out our flyer below for dates and locations and pop in to see us!

We're continuing to highlight some of the wonderful feedback shared by our patients during August:

โญ "Prompt response to my request and referal for further followup"
โญ "Because I got an appointment very quickly and the doctor was very good with my treatment "
โญ "You have seen me at short notice and been very helpful sorting my issues"
โญ "Dr was very thorough and professional "

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who shares their experience with us. Your feedback helps us recognise great care, celebrate our dedicated team, and continue improving the service we provide.

Staying active as you get older can help you maintain your independence, improve your balance, strengthen your muscles and bones, reduce your risk of falls, and boost your mental wellbeing. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ

The NHS recommends that older adults should:
โ€ข Aim to be physically active every day.
โ€ข Do activities that improve strength at least twice a week.
โ€ข Include exercises that improve balance and flexibility, especially if you're at risk of falling.
โ€ข Reduce the amount of time spent sitting by getting up and moving regularly. ๐Ÿ’ช

You don't have to join a gym to stay active. Walking, gardening, dancing, swimming, gentle exercise classes or even doing household chores all count towards a healthier lifestyle. ๐ŸŒผ

Small changes can make a big difference to your health, confidence and quality of life. Why not start today? โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ข Exciting Changes Are Coming!

We are pleased to announce that, following feedback from both patients and staff, Church View Surgery will be moving from Anima to SystmConnect for online consultations and requests from 30 September 2026.

SystmConnect will provide a simpler and more flexible way for patients to contact the practice online and access a range of services. We believe this change will help improve the experience of accessing support from the practice.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch our short video and read more about the changes here: ๐Ÿ”— https://churchviewsurgery.nhs.uk/surgery-information/news/we-are-moving-to-systmconnect-from-anima

Thank you for your continued feedback and support as we continue to improve our services and introduce this new system.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK, but when it's found early, it's much easier to treat. That's why the NHS offers bowel cancer screening to people who are eligible. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

The screening test is simple, quick and can be done in the privacy of your own home. It looks for tiny amounts of blood in your poo that you may not be able to see yourself. ๐Ÿ 

If you receive your bowel cancer screening kit through the post, don't put it to one side โ€“ complete it and return it as soon as you can. Even if you feel fit and healthy and have no symptoms, taking part in screening can help detect problems early. โœ…

If you notice symptoms such as blood in your poo, a persistent change in your bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or ongoing tummy pain, don't wait for your screening invitationโ€”contact your GP. ๐Ÿ“ž

Taking a few minutes to complete your test could make all the difference. ๐Ÿ’™

You might know that sepsis is a serious condition, but were you aware that it is a reaction to an infection, and that it can be life-threatening?
๐Ÿซ If you think you have a chest or urine infection (UTI) - speak to your pharmacist or GP practice.
โš ๏ธ When it comes to sepsis, trust your instincts. Dial 999 or visit A&E if you think there's something seriously wrong.
๐Ÿ’Š Antibiotics can help prevent bacterial infections from developing into sepsis. That's why it's important to take antibiotics as prescribed and only when they are needed.

๐Ÿ“ฌ Didn't return the flu consent form?

Sadly, that counts as no. It's the most common way children miss out on their flu vaccine. Not a decision, just a form that never made it back to the school immunisation team.

Here's what you need to know:
โœ… Free at school, Reception to Year 11
โœ… A quick, painless nasal spray, not an injection
โœ… Saves your child a fortnight of coughs and missed school
โœ… The form takes two minutes

Happy to say no? Tick no. We just need an answer either way.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Look out for yours and send it back by the deadline ๐Ÿ™Œ

There have been around 14 million consultations through the pharmacy first service since it launched in February 2024.

You can get treatment for these conditions from your local community pharmacist, including some prescription medicine, if needed โ€“ without you seeing a GP.

From this autumn, participating pharmacies will be able to assess and treat 5 additional common conditions:

- migraine in adults
- outer ear infections in adults
- acne in young people and adults
- mild skin infections and scabies
- seasonal allergic rhinitis in children
