🗓️ The countdown is on! Help us launch 'Legs Heal Together' this summer!
We are preparing to launch our new Legs Heal Together Club at St Michael’s Parish Centre in the coming weeks and are looking for a few more local volunteers to join the team. This is a Crane Valley Primary Care initiative, initially starting with patients from The Cranborne Practice

The club will run weekly on Tuesday afternoons. The concept is simple: we provide leg healthcare in a relaxed, social space where members can enjoy a brew, a biscuit, and a friendly chat to help beat loneliness. ☕❤️

No medical experience needed! Our nurses handle the clinical side. We just need enthusiastic people to help make tea, welcome visitors, and have a good natter.

If you want to make a real difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

📧 To sign up or ask questions, email Jayne Walton: [email protected] or phone 01202 117370.

As the weather heats up this weekend, make sure you stock up on sunscreen!

Even if it’s cloudy, UV rays can still cause sunburn. Follow this advice to stay safe and avoid getting sunburnt, and reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

🛑 Don't get caught short this Bank Holiday! 🛑
With a 3-day bank holiday weekend coming up, we want to make sure you have everything you need to stay healthy and enjoy the break. ☀️

💊 Please check your medication today!
If you are due a repeat prescription over the bank holiday or shortly after, please submit your request to us as soon as possible.

Why? Routine prescription requests take time to process, and pharmacies may have altered opening hours over the long weekend. Ordering early means you won’t run out!

How? The quickest and easiest way to order is via the NHS App or through our website.
