NOTICE FOR DR BUTLER'S PATIENTS
THE NHS BOWEL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAMME
WAVENEY WORDS TALKING NEWSPAPERDo you know someone who would like to hear all the local news, free, every fortnight? Does that person have a disability that prevents them reading? Back pain Four out of five people suffer back pain at some time. Most often it's caused by strains, minor injury or simple inactivity. German MeaslesGerman Measles is infectious from two days before the rash appears, until the rash disappears in about four or five days from that date. VomitingThe stomach doesn't always tolerate what it takes in. The quickest way to the stomach to eject whatever is bothering it is straight back up again! |
OBTAINING TEST RESULTS Please contact the surgery 5 days after your test to enquire about results (afternoon preferred). We do not routinely contact patients with results. Some tests (e.g. Smear tests) may take longer to come back - smears can take up to 6 weeks for example.
NEW DISPENSARY DELIVERY SERVICE The practice Dispensary can now deliver medications to our housebound dispensing patients. If you would like to find out more about this service please contact the Dispensary on (01986) 891708 / 892055, or just call in.
MEDICAL STUDENTS & PATIENT PARTICIPATION As some of you may be aware, we are a designated teaching practice which involves tutoring medical students from the University of East Anglia (UEA). We will always ask your permission before consultations where medical students are present.
Osteoporosis and diet Bone is a complicated structure consisting of minerals, vitamins and protein. The main mineral is calcium. There is over 1Kg of calcium present in the body, but 99% of this is found in the bones. Healthy eating Healthy Eating is all about getting the balance right. That is, the balance between all the different nutrients that exist in food and drinks. Healthy bowels Today, cancer of the bowel is responsible for thousands of premature deaths a year. The role of diet in maintaining healthy bowels is indisputable and every year, it appears that more and more is understood about the development of disease in the lower end of the gut. Healthy heart It is well recognised and accepted that there are many 'risk factors' for heart disease, many of which are lifestyle risk factors. |
Would you know what to do if someone had a heart attack? We are running some emergency life support training sessions at the practice. The next session is on Thursday 21st August from 6.00 - 8.00 pm.
Dr Jenny Butler is leaving the surgery on the 5th June.
The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme has now been operating in the Bungay area for a year.
