As we prepare for September, we would like to share some service updates and upcoming opportunities that may be of interest to you.

This September, Awburn House Medical Practice is sharing a daily “Mental Health Toolkit” in the lead-up to World Su***de Prevention Day on 10 September. Each day, we’ll post one simple, practical technique that may help with anxiety, stress, worries and feeling overwhelmed. These are small tools you can try in everyday life — from focusing on what you can control, to setting aside worry time, grounding yourself in the present, challenging unhelpful thoughts and knowing when to reach out for support. We hope these posts are useful, easy to try and help start more conversations about mental wellbeing. 💚
One small thing to try today can make a difference.

After our second month of using online triage, we asked for your feedback. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts.
We have carefully reviewed all comments and concerns raised. The most common concern was that the online form may not be easy for some elderly patients or those who are less confident with technology to complete.
We would like to reassure patients that we have always recognised that not everyone is able to use online services. If you are unable to complete the online triage form yourself, you can still contact the surgery by telephone. Our reception team will be happy to assist you in completing the form, ensuring you can access the care and support you need.
Thank you for your continued feedback as we work to improve our services for all patients
