💙 Happy Self-Care Day! 💙

Today is a reminder that looking after yourself isn’t a luxury – it’s an important part of staying healthy.

Self-care can be as simple as:

🌿 Taking a short walk
💧 Drinking plenty of water
😴 Getting a good night’s sleep
📖 Taking a break from screens
💬 Talking to someone you trust
🧘 Doing something that helps you relax

Looking after your wellbeing helps you to look after others too.

Be kind to yourself today – you deserve it. 💙💚

Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the body can’t make insulin, causing blood sugar levels to become too high. It’s a lifelong condition that needs daily management.

👀 Look out for the 4 Ts:

🚽 Toilet – Needing to wee more than usual
💧 Thirsty – Feeling unusually thirsty all the time
😴 Tired – Feeling very tired or lacking energy
⚖️ Thinner – Losing weight without trying

⚠️ If you or your child has any of these symptoms, don't wait. Contact your GP and ask for an urgent appointment, or call 111 for advice.

💻 Find out more by searching "NHS Type 1 Diabetes".

🔥 Would you know what to do if someone suffered a burn ? 🔥

Remember:
🔹Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes
🔹Remove any jewellery or tight clothing then cover it loosely with a clean dressing or cling film.

❌ Don’t use ice, creams, butter or toothpaste, and don’t burst any blisters.

Seek medical advice for burns that are large, deep or affect the face, hands 🖐️ feet or ge****ls.

Please share - simple first aid can make a big difference. 💙💚

📞 Every missed appointment matters 📅

Last month, patients who did not attend or cancelled too late resulted in 1,980 minutes ⏰ of lost appointment time.

That’s the equivalent of almost 8 full GP clinical sessions that could have been used to care for other patients 🧑🏽‍🦱 waiting for an appointment.

We understand that plans change, and sometimes appointments can’t be kept.
If you no longer need your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible.

You can cancel:

📱 By replying to your appointment reminder text (where available)
📞 By calling the practice
☎️ Using our automated telephone cancellation system – no need to speak to a receptionist

A quick cancellation means we can offer that appointment to someone else who needs it.

Please help us make every appointment count. 💙💚

The energy we share with others can make a real difference. A smile 😊, a kind word 💙, or a small act of kindness 🤝 can brighten someone's day—and your own.

While life isn't always easy, choosing to focus on hope, gratitude, and the things we can control can help us build resilience and strengthen our wellbeing. 🌿

🌞 Spread kindness.
💚 Celebrate the little wins.
✨ Lift others up whenever you can.

You never know how much your positivity could mean to someone else.

💬 What's one positive thing that's happened to you this week? Share it in the comments—we'd love to celebrate with you! 🥰
