Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Ovarian cancer is often called a “silent” cancer because symptoms can be vague and easy to miss but early diagnosis really can save lives.
 
Please be aware of symptoms that are persistent, new, or getting worse, such as:
• Ongoing bloating
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Needing to urinate more often or urgently
 
If you notice these symptoms happening frequently (especially more than 12 times a month), don’t ignore them, book an appointment with one of our GPs.

New Heart Health Project in the Tame Valley Area 💙

We’re pleased to share that we are part of the new heart health project that’s started in GP surgeries across the Tame Valley area, supported by NW Hearts Charity.

This project is for people already living with heart disease, especially those who may have missed regular check-ups or cholesterol blood tests in the past year.

Why this matters:
Regular cholesterol checks help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes and we don’t want anyone to miss out on important care.

What’s happening:
GP teams will be identifying patients who may be overdue a cholesterol check and will be contacting them directly to offer:

-Cholesterol blood tests
-A heart health review
-Follow-up care if needed

    Appointments will be flexible, with extra support available, including:

    -Easy-read information or different languages
    -Support for people with disabilities or communication needs

      If you’re contacted, please don’t worry, it’s simply an invitation to support your heart health 💙

      Thank you to NW Hearts Charity for supporting this important work in our community.
