What an incredible atmosphere in Uppermill today as Sir Kevin Sinfield and his team came through the village! 💙

**Saddleworth Medical Practice is so proud of Sir Kevin, the incredible strength, love determination and compassion he continues to show.

It was wonderful to see our community come together to support him. Children from local schools lined the route, our admin staff took their dinner break early so they could come out and cheer, and one of our clinicians even came in on her day off to show her support. 👏💙🧡

The community spirit was truly amazing, and it was a privilege to be part of such a special moment.

Well done, Sir Kevin and team — we are incredibly proud to support you! 💙🏃‍♂️👏

🏃‍♂️💙 Supporting one of our local heroes!

Tomorrow, we’ll be cheering on Oldham-born rugby league legend Sir Kevin Sinfield as he runs through Saddleworth as part of his incredible 7 in 7: The Grand Finale challenge.

Sir Kevin is taking on his seventh and final annual challenge to raise vital awareness and funds for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND) — a cause that has touched so many lives.

We’re incredibly proud to see him returning to the village and passing through our wonderful community. 👏

📍 Sir Kevin is expected to pass along the bottom of Smithy Lane, Uppermill at around 11.18am. Timings are approximate, and there may be some slight traffic congestion around the area while he passes.

If you’re attending an appointment at Uppermill Health Centre around this time, please allow a little extra time for your journey.

From all of us at Saddleworth Medical Practice, we wish Kevin and the whole team the very best for the challenge.

Run strong, Kevin! 🏃‍♂️💙

We’ll be joining the cheers from Saddleworth — we hope to see plenty of our patients and local community out along the route too! 👏

A visit from Debbie Abrahams MP

We recently welcomed Debbie Abrahams MP to Saddleworth Medical Practice.

During her visit, Debbie met with our Practice Manager, Dr Milne, GP Partner, and members of our clinical and administrative teams to find out more about the work we do and how our practice supports patients across the Saddleworth community.

It was a valuable opportunity to discuss the wide range of services we provide, hear about the experiences of our teams, and share some of the challenges and opportunities facing primary care.

Thank you to Debbie for taking the time to visit and meet with our staff and learn more about our practice.
