According to the BUPA Wellbeing Index "50% of men have struggled with mental health difficulties at some point, yet fewer than half have sought medical advice".

This is why, this Men's Health Week, we are encouraging everyone to raise awareness of mental health, address the stigma that surrounds it, and support our colleagues, friends and family before they reach crisis point.

If you would like to make an appointment to discuss your concerns or symptoms, please complete an eConsult https://lodgesurgery.webgp.com/

💙 Carers Week 2026 💙

This year’s Carers Week theme is Building Carer Friendly Communities and at The Lodge Health Partnership we want our carers to know that we are here to support you.

If you regularly help or support a family member, friend, or neighbour who could not manage without your help, you may be a carer, even if you don’t think of yourself as one.

In this short video, our previous Carers Champion, Serena, explains:
✔️ What it means to be a carer
✔️ How to recognise if you are one
✔️ How we can support registered carers at the practice

Although Bronwyn has now taken over the role of Carers Champion, our commitment to supporting carers in our community continues.

If you think you may be a carer, please speak to our team and let us know so we can help support you better. 💙

🌼 Bank Holiday Reminder 🌼

Please note that the surgery is closed today due to the Bank Holiday.

If you need urgent medical help while we are closed, please use NHS 111 online or call 111. In an emergency, always call 999.

☀️ With the warmer weather expected this week, please remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, especially older adults, young children, and those with long-term health conditions.

📞 We would also like to hear your feedback about our new phone system, EMMA.

EMMA was introduced because our reception team were spending a significant amount of time completing eConsults over the phone on behalf of patients. EMMA is now able to complete this process with you directly, helping our team support patients more efficiently.

We are continually reviewing patient feedback about our services and the ways patients contact us. We are currently reviewing all complaints and feedback regarding EMMA, but we would also like to hear what is working well for you.

Please let us know about your positive experiences and what you feel works effectively, so we can include this feedback in our ongoing meetings and reviews of our systems and services.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback 💙

Today, on National Receptionists’ Day, we want to say a huge thank you to our wonderful reception team 💙

Our receptionists go above and beyond for our patients every single day. They are the first friendly face and point of contact when you arrive, always ready to help with appointments, prescriptions, blood forms, and so much more.

Their hard work, kindness, patience, and dedication never go unnoticed, and we honestly couldn’t do it without them.

Thank you for everything you do.
We truly appreciate you all 🌟
