Living Well is a service provided to adults who are struggling with various aspects of day-to-day life. Every Friday morning, each week, we provide four 45-minute appointments with a living well practitioner who will explore with you whatever you are finding difficult. Then, together, you will be able to discuss how to tackle the issues and improve your well-being. The service is appropriate for almost all kinds of problem, but some examples include loneliness, bereavement, loss of support networks, loss of confidence, finding a way into employment, carer related problems and many more.

If you feel you would benefit from an appointment with living well, you are able to book into their clinic without seeing a doctor first. Please speak to reception to book an appointment now.

What does the Blood Pressure Chart Application Do?

If your doctor asks you to use a blood pressure recording machine at home for a period of a day or more, you will need to record the readings each day on a paper form. At the end of the monitoring period you will send in the form to the surgery.

This application replaces the need for the paper form because it allows you to enter your readings online. As soon as all your readings have been entered for the period you are monitoring (e.g. a single day, or any number of days up to a maximum of seven), you can send the form directly to the surgery without the need to use the post or a visit in person.

Another advantage is that the average blood pressure calculations are calculated automatically eliminating possible errors and saving administration time within the surgery.
