🎮 Tried to quit smoking before, but couldn't make it stick?

You're definitely not alone.

For many people, quitting smoking takes more than one attempt. If you've tried before, you've already learnt something about what works for you and what doesn't.

So don't press GAME OVER just yet. 👀

🚭 Keep going.
💷 Save money.
❤️ Look after your health.
🎯 Give quitting another go.

Your next attempt could be the one that sticks.

🧐💉 FLU FACT OR FICTION?

❓ “The flu jab can give you flu.”

🚨 FICTION!

The flu vaccine cannot give you flu.

The vaccine helps your body build protection against the viruses that cause flu, helping to reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell.

Still have questions about the flu vaccine?

🌱 Learning together to support better care

Yesterday, while GP practices across the area were closed for a Protected Learning Time (PLT) event, practice staff came together for a day of learning, reflection and development.

One of the sessions focused on Non-Clinical Trauma-Informed Training, exploring how trauma and difficult life experiences can affect the way people interact with healthcare services, and how GP practice teams can respond with greater understanding, compassion and awareness.

💚 Trauma-informed approaches aren't just relevant to clinical staff. Receptionists, administrators, care navigators, practice managers and other non-clinical colleagues are often the first point of contact for patients and play an important role in creating a welcoming and supportive experience.

PLT gives practice teams the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of general practice, learn together and bring new knowledge back into their teams and practices.

By investing in the whole practice team, we can continue to build services that are more understanding, inclusive and responsive to the people we support.

📚 Learning today, making a difference tomorrow.
