💜 FRIARSGATE GOES PURPLE! 💜

On Saturday 19th September, a team from Friarsgate Practice will be pulling on our purple and taking part in the Wi******er Hospice Purple Night Walk! 🌙💜

We’re really looking forward to coming together as a team to walk around Wi******er, while raising money for the incredible work of Wi******er Hospice 🥰

Wi******er Hospice provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care to local people and their families, and relies heavily on the generosity of our community. 💜

Would you like to sponsor our team? 🙏

Every donation, big or small, will help support the fantastic work of the hospice and will mean a lot to us.

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. Swipe to learn the key symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers, so you know what to look out for.

You know your body better than anyone. Knowing what’s normal for you can help you spot when something changes.

Having any of these symptoms does not definitely mean you have cancer, but it’s important to get checked by a GP.

If your symptoms are caused by cancer, finding it early may mean it’s easier to treat.
