💜 Breastfeeding Awareness Week 💜

Feeding your baby is a learning journey, and it's completely normal to have questions along the way. Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, mixed feeding or expressing, you don't have to do it alone.

Across Greater Manchester, infant feeding support is available to help you make informed choices and provide practical advice, encouragement and reassurance whenever you need it.

💜 Every family's feeding journey is unique, and support is here for you every step of the way.

📅 July at a Glance – Supporting Our Patients

Every month our team works hard to make sure patients can access the right care, at the right time, from the right healthcare professional.

During July, we provided 4,654 appointments across our practice:
🩺 2,734 GP & ANP appointments
💉 1,329 Nurse appointments
💊 591 Pharmacist appointments

We're particularly pleased that 57% of GP & ANP appointments were available on the same day or the following day, helping many patients receive timely care when they needed it most.

A huge thank you to all of our clinical and administrative teams for their continued hard work, and thank you to our patients for your patience and support.

If you need to contact us, our reception team will help direct you to the most appropriate clinician or service for your healthcare needs.

💜 Breastfeeding Awareness Week 💜

Every breastfeeding journey is different. Whether you're expecting your first baby, feeding a newborn, or continuing your breastfeeding journey, it's okay to ask for support.

Breastfeeding provides valuable health benefits for both babies and parents, and every feed counts. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months offers the greatest health benefits, but any amount of breast milk can make a positive difference.

If you're looking for trusted NHS advice, the Best Start for Life website offers practical information on topics including:
👶 Getting started with breastfeeding
🤱 Positioning and attachment
🍼 Expressing and storing breast milk
🏡 Feeding when you're out and about
💼 Returning to work while breastfeeding

If you need someone to talk to, the National Breastfeeding Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 0300 100 0212, offering free, confidential support from trained volunteers.

🛡️ The new Meningitis B (MenB) Vaccination Programme is now available

From today (20th July), eligible young people in England can access a free MenB (Meningitis B) vaccination through the new time-limited NHS vaccination programme.

You may be eligible if you:
✅ Are in Year 13 (born between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2008)
✅ Are under 25 and starting university or residential further education for the first time this autumn.

⚠️ Please note: This vaccination is NOT available from GP practices.

If you're eligible, you can book your vaccination through a participating community pharmacy. Two doses are needed for the best protection, with the second dose given at least 28 days after the first.

https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/

Meningitis B is a rare but serious infection that can become life-threatening very quickly. Getting vaccinated before starting university or residential further education can help protect you during this higher-risk period.

Please share this post with anyone who may be eligible.

Monday morning rush? Handled! 💪📞

Our team has had a busy start to the week, answering 27 calls in just 45 minutes between 8:00am and 8:45am, with an average wait time of just 1 minute 36 seconds.

A huge thank you to everyone at Salford Medical Centre for working so hard to answer calls promptly and provide our patients with the support they need.

If your query isn't urgent, you can also contact us online using our Accurx online services platform, helping to keep our phone lines free for those who need them most.

📱 Making it easier to contact us through the NHS App

The latest GP Patient Survey found that 48% of respondents found it easy to contact our practice using the NHS App.

We understand this result may seem lower than we'd like, and we'd like to explain why.

At the time the survey was carried out, our previous online consultation system was not integrated with the NHS App. This meant that patients were unable to use the app to contact us directly for clinical or administrative requests, which understandably affected many patients' experience.

The good news is that we've now moved to our new online consultation platform, Accurx. 🎉

We're expecting full integration with the NHS App within the coming days, making it much easier for patients to get in touch with us. Once this is live, you'll be able to submit both clinical and administrative requests directly through the NHS App, providing a more seamless and convenient way to access our services.

We're committed to continually improving how patients can access our practice and hope this new integration will make contacting us quicker and easier than ever.

Thank you for your continued feedback and support as we continue to improve our services. 💙
