World Su***de Prevention Day – 10th September

Today, 10th September, is World Su***de Prevention Day. At Stuart Road Surgery, we want to take this opportunity to remind our patients that you are not alone. Talking about how you feel can be difficult, but reaching out for support can make a real difference. Whether you are struggling yourself or are concerned about someone you care about, please don’t be afraid to start a conversation and seek help. Every life matters, every conversation matters, and asking for help is a sign of strength. Our GP team is here to listen, support you and help you access the right care when you need it. If you are worried about yourself or someone else, please speak to a member of our practice team.

Move more- reduce your cancer risk
Recent research published in the journal BMC Medicine continues to highlight the link between activity levels and risk of cancer. For example, replacing 15 minutes of sleep or sedentary behaviour with 15 minutes of movement were each linked to a 2 per cent reduced risk of cancer.
This is why 'Reduce risk with a healthy active lifestyle' it is such a key part of our Cancer SMART message.
If you would like to get involved by sharing our life-saving Cancer SMART message in your community, get in touch on [email protected]
We would especially love to hear from those who have lived experience of cancer.
