A stroke strikes every 5 minutes in the UK. There are around 38,000 stroke-related deaths every year and it is a leading cause of disability.  We are supporting the "NHS Face, Arms, Speech and Time (FAST)" campaign to encourage people to Act FAST, at any sign of a stroke, as every minute is vital to give patients quicker access to specialist treatment that could save their life and reduce the long-term effects of a stroke, such as a disability. 

The first sign of a stroke might not seem serious. Like struggling to smile, not being able to raise your arm or slurring when you speak.  Stroke symptoms can be less dramatic, painful or obvious than might be expected, but even if doesn’t seem like much, at the first sign of a stroke, call 999 straight away.

The quickest and most direct way to get your repeat prescription request to the GP is by using our online services.

If you are unable to use order your medication online, you can still make your request by post or by attending the practice.

Our practice receptionists have had additional training in ‘care navigation’ so they can help you get the right care, faster.

Getting you the right help more quickly 

When you call the practice to make an appointment, the Receptionist/Patient Services Team may ask you to tell them a bit about why you want to see someone. You don’t need to give lots of detail or tell them anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Our Reception team/Patient Services Team will never offer clinical advice or triage; this new way of working is about offering you the choice to see the most appropriate professional in the practice team or elsewhere. It will often be quicker and means you may not need to see a GP at all.

By working this way, it helps to free up time for our GPs to care for patients with complex or serious health conditions that can only be managed by a GP. More importantly though, it means people are seen first by the clinician best able to manage their clinical problem.

Please don't be offended if you are asked what the problem is when you ring for an appointment. This is called Care Navigation and it's about helping you get the service you need.

The Receptionist/Patient Services Team might suggest you see an alternative professional or service, such as:

• Pharmacy

• Physiotherapy

• Healthy Minds

• Lifestyle Health & Wellbeing

• Social prescribers

• Prescribing Pharmacists

The choice is always yours though, and we hope next time you contact us and speak to our Reception team/Patient Services Team, you will see the value of seeing another health professional, if they are able to help.

As part of our ongoing work in the Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service, we are asking patients to return all inhalers and other medications to pharmacies, where they will be sent for clinical incineration. This is much better than disposing of them in household waste, as if they end up in landfill the propellant gases are released into the atmosphere contributing to climate change.

Many inhalers contain gases called propellants which help the medicine in the inhaler to be delivered to your lungs. These are not harmful to you, but they are potent greenhouse gases. This is why 3-4% of the whole NHS carbon footprint comes from inhalers.

It’s important to return your inhalers to pharmacies so that they can be disposed of properly, by breaking down the propellant gases into less harmful ones. Some pharmacies will be able to recycle the other materials in the inhaler, too.

Binning inhalers with your regular household waste means the propellant gases end up released into the atmosphere, so please consider bringing them to a pharmacy if you can.

If you are concerned about the possible environmental impact of your inhalers it is very important that you discuss this with your GP or Nurse, rather than just stopping your inhalers, so that any changes can be agreed and made safely.

If you use inhalers and wish to reduce the environmental impact of your treatment there are three main things you can do:

Make sure your disease control is as good as it can be

The most important issue is that the best treatment regime for you and the planet is the one which controls your asthma or COPD well. If you need to use your reliever (blue/Salbutamol) inhaler more than three times in a week, this can be a sign that your asthma is not well controlled. If this is happening, you should talk to your GP/Nurse about this.

Review your treatment with your GP, Nurse, or Pharmacist

Dry powder inhalers can be used by most people with asthma and need a quick and deep breath for the medicine to reach the airways. They usually come with a dose counter so you can track your medication use and don’t need a spacer device.

Starting or changing to a dry powder inhaler is a good way for many people to improve their care and reduce its environmental impact, but for some people MDIs will remain the best option. It’s really important that you talk about any changes to your inhaler device with your GP, Nurse or Pharmacist.
