Active Practice - this is an initiative by the Royal College of GPs and Sport England to encourage GP practices to make positive changes in their surgeries to boost staff and patient wellbeing by reducing sedentary behaviour.  An example of some of the things we have introduced to encourage patients and staff to become more active includes: installing covered bike racks, supported the creation of a patient's gardening club by allocating part of our garden to the Patient Participation Group, are a Parkrun Practice, we advertise local walking groups, we provide 'standing desks' for our staff. 

Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP practice - This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment. If you are ex-forces, please let your GP know to help ensure you are getting the best possible care.

Dementia Friends - The Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people's perceptions of dementia.  It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.  

Whether you attend a face-to-face Information Session or watch the online video, Dementia Friends is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help.  From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.  For further information and advice on how to become a Dementia Friend click here https://www.dementiafriends.org.uk/WEBArticle?page=become-dementia-friend
