With the bank holiday approaching, make sure you order your repeat prescription in good time to avoid any delays in getting your medicines.

📱 Healthy screen use for young children

Screen time can affect children’s sleep, behaviour, eyesight and development. Young children learn best through play, conversation and interaction with parents and carers.

Current guidance recommends:
• Under 2 years: Avoid screen time where possible, except for shared family activities
• Ages 2–5 years: Aim for no more than 1 hour of screen time per day

Helpful tips for families:
✔ Choose calm, age-appropriate content
✔ Watch programmes together and talk about them
✔ Keep mealtimes and bedrooms screen-free
✔ Avoid social media use for young children
✔ Set clear boundaries and lead by example

Children with SEND may benefit from individualised advice, and assistive technology can play an important role for some families.

If you would like further advice or support, please contact the practice team.
