We are awaiting guidance nationally re data opt out, but in the interim, patients can view:  https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/manage-your-choice/  where you can instruct NHS Digital on your choices or you could make your request in writing to the practice. This can be in a letter or one of the large number of forms that are easily found on the internet.

NEW
Remember your MEDICINES
We are reminding patients coming to stay in hospital to do their bit and bring their medicines with them.
Lead pharmacists at the region’s 10 NHS trusts say patients will be helping the NHS and themselves by remembering to bring – not just their tablets or pills – but their inhalers, creams, insulin and eye drops into hospital with them if they are coming in for planned or emergency treatment.
Bringing your medicines with you helps our clinical teams know immediately what medication you are taking which is safer. It also means you can continue to take the same medication while you are in hospital and we don’t need to be supply them again, which helps to reduce waste and saves time.

Greystoke Social Walking Group

by

As part of Greystoke’s Social Prescribing initiative, a new Social Walking Group will be starting on Thursday 10th June.  Led by social prescriber Miranda Sheehy and Mind and Sole’s Chrissy Smith, the walks will start every Thursday at 2pm.  We will offer two routes to happen at the same time, and reunite at the end for coffee and a chat. One route will be aimed at those who have reasonable mobility and fitness, and who can comfortably walk up to 3 miles. The other route is for those who have limited mobility, and would prefer a much slower, shorter plod with plenty of rest stops. Chrissy and Miranda will provide the coffee and cake afterwards, and will share this outside with careful Covid precautions.
The purpose of these groups is to encourage our patients to get active, socialise, and feel empowered to take control of their own mental health and wellbeing. All ages and abilities are welcome.  Please contact miranda.sheehy@nhs.net to book a place or for more info.
Many thanks

Texts will be going out to our younger cohorts for the vaccine soon.
Please try to attend if you get a text as the less that attend Alnwick Cricket Club, the less chance we have of securing future vaccines.
If you are an employer, please consider allowing your team to take an hour off if possible to attend so we can continue to deliver vaccines locally. We will have a Saturday available soon.
Please respond if you get a text, even if you don’t want to attend – as this will save us keep trying to contact you.
Many thanks
