"Can they go to school with it?"

It's a question parents ask healthcare professionals all the time, especially once September arrives.

And the answer isn't always what people expect.

🤢 Vomiting or diarrhoea?
Keep them off until they've been free from either for at least 48 hours.

🌡️ High temperature?
Keep them home until the temperature has gone and they're well enough to attend.

🪮 Head lice?
They can still go to school. Just start treatment as soon as you find them.

🖐️ Hand, foot and mouth?
If they're otherwise well enough, they usually don't need to stay off until every blister has disappeared.

🦠 Impetigo?
They'll need to stay off until the sores have crusted and healed, or for 48 hours after starting antibiotic treatment.

Of course, there is another question that's just as important:

Are they actually well enough to be there?

Guidelines are useful, but so is looking at the child in front of you.

If they're exhausted, miserable, not drinking as well as usual or clearly not themselves, they may need a day at home - and if you're concerned about how much they're drinking, seek medical advice. And if you are concerned it might be something more serious, thats where PrymaCare can help. Book a call with an experienced clinician today.

September is World Alzheimer's Month💜

This World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re helping to shine a light on Alzheimer’s and the many ways it can affect individuals and the people who love and care for them.

For someone living with Alzheimer’s, familiar routines, a friendly face and a little extra patience can make such a big difference. 💜

At Visiting Angels, we understand that every person is unique. Our compassionate experienced carers can help individuals remain comfortable and supported in their own home, while providing reassurance to family members too.

From companionship and help with everyday tasks to simply being there for a chat and a cup of tea, small moments of connection can mean so much.☕️💕

This month, let’s remember that behind every diagnosis is a person with a lifetime of memories, stories and experiences — and they deserve to be treated with kindness, dignity and respect.

💜 Let’s talk about Alzheimer’s. Let’s listen. Let’s understand. And above all, let’s care.

School uniform: sorted.

Shoes: hopefully still fit.

PE kit: found eventually.

But what about the medicine cupboard?

Before September properly kicks off, there are a few basics I recommend parents check they have at home:

🌡️ A working digital thermometer

💊 Age-appropriate paracetamol or ibuprofen, if your child can take them

🩹 Plasters and basic dressings

👃 Saline nasal spray or drops for blocked noses

🪮 A nit comb, one of those things you hope you don't need, but definitely don't want to be looking for at 8pm!

And if your child takes regular medication, now is a good time to check expiry dates, make sure you've got enough and check that school has whatever they need too.

You don't need a cupboard overflowing with medicines. A few sensible basics will get you through most of those minor illnesses and injuries that inevitably appear once September arrives.

And when something doesn't feel quite so minor, that's where we can help.

PrymaCare offers appointments with an experienced Advanced Practitioner for common childhood and grown up illnesses and health concerns, either remotely or in the comfort of your own home.

Hopefully everything on this list stays firmly in the cupboard.

But with a new school term approaching, I'm not making any promises! 😅

💍 PrymaCare is closed today as Mrs PrymaCare and I are celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. ❤️

So, in honour of 12 years of marriage, here is some essential medical advice for anyone who suddenly realises they’ve forgotten theirs:

🩺 Acute Anniversary Amnesia – Immediate Management

Symptoms may include:
• Sudden onset sweating
• Racing heart
• A feeling of impending doom
• Frantically checking the calendar
• Googling “same-day flower delivery”
• Repeatedly asking yourself, “Was it definitely today?”

Recommended treatment:

1. Remain calm.
2. Do NOT attempt to convince them that “we weren’t doing presents this year.”
3. Flowers may provide temporary symptomatic relief.
4. A restaurant booking can improve prognosis.
5. Avoid phrases such as “I’ve just been really busy.”
6. If symptoms persist, jewellery may be indicated.
7. Prevention remains better than cure - put it in your calendar.

Thankfully, I remembered this one. 😂

So PrymaCare is taking a rare day off while we celebrate, but normal service resumes tomorrow - marriage intact and anniversary successfully managed. ❤️

A great day today with PrymaCare supporting one of our corporate clients with some of their respiratory health and safety requirements.

Respiratory protection can sometimes feel like just another compliance box to tick, but getting it right genuinely matters. A mask only protects the person wearing it if it is the right type, fits properly and is being used correctly.

For anyone working around dusts, fumes or other airborne hazards, protecting lung health now can make a huge difference later in life.

At PrymaCare, we’re pleased to support businesses with practical, straightforward workplace health services that help keep their teams protected and their health & safety arrangements on track.

Caring for someone you love can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s important to remember that you need a break too.

Whether it’s a few hours of self care, time to catch up with friends, attend an appointment or simply recharge, you can take that time knowing your loved one is in safe, caring hands.

At Visiting Angels, we’re here to provide the support you need — so you can step away, breathe and return feeling refreshed. 🌿

Because looking after yourself isn’t selfish - It helps you keep caring for the person you love.

If you've been out walking in Kent recently, it's worth checking for ticks.
It's something I hardly ever came across when I worked in London.

Now, working in West Kent, I see tick bites all the time.

The thing I notice most?

People are understandably worried they've immediately got Lyme disease.

The reality is that, for most people, that's NOT the case.

The important thing is to remove the tick properly, keep an eye on the area over the following days and weeks, and know what to look out for.

Seek medical advice if you develop an expanding circular or oval rash, or flu-like symptoms after a tick bite.

The good news is that most tick bites don't lead to Lyme disease, but it's still worth knowing the signs so you can act if you need to.

Especially at this time of year, after a walk in the woods, long grass or the countryside, a quick tick check is never a bad idea.

Have you noticed more ticks around West Kent this summer?
