The Village Practice has recently signed up to a Green Impact for Health toolkit, designed to make the practice more environmentally friendly.
One of the reasons that we wish to make changes is due to health-related issues.
We are now more aware that peoples health (in the UK and Worldwide) is becoming increasingly effected by environmental issues such as global warming, severe weather events, air pollution and plastic pollution. As healthcare providers we feel it is very important that we look at how to improve our efforts to tackle this global problem.
What we have already done:
Installed bike lockers to encourage staff to cycle to work.
Setup a weekly practice walk on a Monday lunch time
Have recycling services setup within the practice
Over the next months and years, the practice will be making changes to reduce waste, lower the energy usage of the practice, improve recycling and promote the use of social prescribing (non-pharmacological treatments).
Please feel free to give us some feedback on how we are doing.
Supporting Women to Take Up Cervical Screening
The Village Surgery want to support more women to come for cervical screening. The number of women being screened has fallen and we want to change this as cervical screening saves lives!
Who is Eligible?
Women between the ages of 25 and 64 across the UK. Women aged 25-49 are invited every three years and women aged 50-64 are invited every five years. (You may be invited up to 6 months before the age of eligibility).
It is important that you are registered with a GP and your contact details are correct.
If you have been invited but have not attended, our doctors, nurses or health care assistants may notice you are overdue and offer you an appointment.
If you are eligible and have not received an invitation to attend cervical screening, please contact reception.
If you are experiencing any abnormal symptoms that you are worried may be related to cervical cancer, please make an appointment to see a GP as soon as possible (even if you are not due for cervical screening).
