⚖️ Understanding Your BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick measure to see if your weight is healthy for your height. It helps indicate your risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

📌 BMI Categories:
• Under 18.5 – Underweight.
• 18.5–24.9 – Healthy weight.
• 25–29.9 – Overweight.
• 30+ – Obese.

💡 How to check your BMI:
• Use the NHS BMI calculator online: https://www.nhs.uk/health-assessment-tools/calculate-your-body-mass-index/
• Your GP can also measure and discuss what your BMI means for your health.

✅ Tips for a healthy BMI:
• Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Stay physically active regularly.
• Track your progress and seek support from your healthcare team if needed.

Weekly NHS App Session 📱

Still calling the practice to order prescriptions or request help? There's an easier way.

The NHS App allows you to order repeat prescriptions, submit Online Consultations, book and manage appointments, and view your medical record quickly and securely from your phone.

Many patients are still missing out on these convenient services simply because they haven't set up or learned how to use the app.

👩‍💼 Book a one-to-one session with our Practice Co-ordinator and get set up in minutes.

📅 Every Tuesday
📍 Talke Clinic

⚠️ Places are limited and must be booked through Reception.

Take the opportunity to learn how to:
✅ Order repeat prescriptions without calling the practice
✅ Submit Online Consultations from home
✅ Manage appointments at a time that suits you
✅ Access your NHS information securely, 24/7

Contact Reception today to book your place and start making the most of the NHS App. 📲

Ensure a comfortable position for both parent and baby.

Seek support from health visitors, midwives, or local breastfeeding support groups.
Trusted NHS advice and support: https://www.nhs.uk/.../baby/feeding-your-baby/breastfeeding/
