Due to staff sickness our dispensary will be closed this afternoon. The practice team will still be able to take messages for the dispensary to pick up tomorrow and be able to give out any medications which are already ready for collection but there may be a slight delay on prescription requests this afternoon. We expect normal service to resume tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience.

The HPV vaccine is saving lives.

New research by Queen Mary University of London and Cancer Research UK shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and some other cancers.

Both girls and boys can get protection from high-risk HPV by having the HPV vaccination in their teenage years. It not only protects against cervical cancer, but other types of cancer too.

You can help protect your child by giving consent for them to have their vaccination when invited.

And remember: cervical screening is still important, even if you’ve had the HPV vaccine.

☀ Over the coming days, hot weather is forecast for our region ☀

⚠️ Because we've had a period of unseasonably cold weather, people may not be prepared for the change. Anyone can become unwell when the weather is hot, but some are at higher risk than others.

👍 Look out for older people, people with long-term health conditions and young
children who may find it more difficult to stay cool and hydrated in hot weather. Check in on older friends, family and neighbours, particularly those who live alone,
who may struggle to keep themselves cool and hydrated during the hot weather
