It’s easy to only be reminded about Mengititis when we hear about outbreaks, but the risk never goes away. I was glad to finally get my five children vaccinated and tick it off my ‘to do’ list finally. Now it’s one less thing for me to worry about when they head off to uni and travelling (just as well because with five children, there’s a lot to worry about!) The NHS is vaccinating eligible teens / young adults so do double check. But if like me, your busy and want to book in at a time that suits you and your child, then do email or call us to book an appointment. Devon Live sharing this news.

💚 Sunday evening health check-in from me… how are you, really?

Before another busy week begins, I want to encourage you to take 30 seconds to check in with yourself.

Is there a niggle you’ve been ignoring?
A symptom you keep meaning to ask someone about?
A prescription or health check you need to sort?
Or do you simply feel like something isn’t quite right?

I know how easy it is to put your own health at the bottom of the list, especially when work, family life and September diaries all start getting busy again.

We have a handful of Private GP appointments still available at our Ringwood clinic this week, with longer appointment times so you can properly talk things through without feeling rushed.

So if something has been sitting on your mental to-do list for a while, perhaps this is your sign to get it checked. 🩺

You can book online via our website or call our lovely team on 01202 022956.

Here’s to starting the week feeling a little more on top of things. 💚

🍂 So, you’ve decided September is a good time for a health reset. What next?

In our last post, Dr Selina shared six areas of our health that are worth checking in with as routines return this autumn.

But knowing what to check is only part of the story.

What does a slightly high cholesterol result actually mean?
Why can the bathroom scales be a pretty poor measure of how healthy you are?
Does everyone need a Vitamin D blood test?
And how do you build healthier habits when real life involves work, school runs, family, dog walks and the other bazillion things on your to-do list? 😅

Dr Selina goes into all of this in our new September Health Reset blog, with practical advice designed for real life, not an imaginary world where we all have two hours spare for a morning wellness routine. 🙌

There’s also guidance on health checks, blood tests, preventative healthcare and why sometimes the most useful place to start is simply understanding your own health a little better.

☕ Grab a cuppa and have a read. You’ll find the September Health Reset blog via the 🔗 in the comments below 👇

And remember, your health reset doesn’t have to be dramatic. Small, realistic changes absolutely count. 💚

As routines return after the summer, September can be a brilliant time to check in with your health and notice the things that are easy to overlook when life gets busy.

In this video, shares 6 simple areas worth focusing on for your health and wellbeing:

🩺 1. Blood pressure – do you know your numbers?
❤️ 2. Cholesterol – an important part of understanding your heart health
🩸 3. Blood sugar – particularly useful for spotting changes early
📏 4. Waist measurements and physical health markers – looking beyond the number on the scales
☀️ 5. Vitamin D – especially as we head into the darker months
🌿 6. Your lifestyle check-in – how are you sleeping, moving, eating and generally feeling?

The aim isn’t perfection. It’s simply knowing where you are now and thinking about the small changes that could make a difference to your future health.

If this has prompted you to do your own September health reset, our friendly private GP team in Ringwood can help with health checks, blood tests and personalised advice. 💚

Before September gets busy… is there anything you need to get sorted?

This Bank Holiday is a good opportunity for a little family health admin. 💚
Think:

✔️ Repeat prescriptions
✔️ Ongoing coughs or allergies
✔️ Skin concerns
✔️ Vaccinations
✔️ Health forms or medicals
✔️ That appointment you have been putting off while looking after everyone else!

From private GPs and paediatrics to ENT, women’s health and other specialist clinics, we have a growing team under one roof here in Ringwood.

A summer well spent ☀️💚

Long days, family time, holidays, adventures, late nights, sandy toes and plenty of memories made.

But as summer starts to wind down and routines return, it’s a good time to put family health back on the priority list too.

Perhaps there’s a lingering cough you’ve been meaning to get checked, a skin concern that hasn’t settled, an HRT review that’s overdue or simply a health question you’ve been putting off until September.

At Dr Helen Medical, our private GPs and specialist team are here to help the whole family head into autumn feeling looked after.

Back-to-school checklist… how are we doing? 🎒✏️

✅ School shoes ordered
✅ Uniform labelled
✅ Stationery bought
✅ Snack cupboard re-filled (for the gazillionth time!)
✅ PE kit located after mysteriously disappearing all summer…

But what about that health niggle you’ve been meaning to get checked..? 👀
Before the school term begins, there’s still time to tick health off the list too.

Whether it’s a lingering cough, skin concern, tummy trouble, headaches, allergies or something that just doesn’t feel quite right, our private GPs and specialist team are here to help.

With longer appointments and time to talk things through properly, you can hopefully head into the new term with one less thing to worry about. 💚

I’m super excited to share that ‘we are growing’. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be joined by more GP’s, new admin team members, a new practice manager and another exciting development. One of the GP’s who will be joining us is the wonderful Dr Juliet Gregson- well known locally as a phenomenal GP and the district scout leader. Well known by me because I was Juliet’s trainee many years ago 🥰🥰

HRT review overdue? Or wondering whether it’s time to talk about your symptoms? 💚

Women’s health is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history and what matters to you should all be part of the conversation.

At Dr Helen Medical, our GPs can support you with menopause and perimenopause concerns, HRT discussions and reviews, alongside a wider range of women’s health issues.

And with longer private appointments, there’s time to have the conversation properly rather than trying to squeeze it all into a few rushed minutes.

We have women’s health and menopause appointments available at our Ringwood clinic this week. Call 01202 022956 or visit our website to book.
