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? Head Lice Do you remember the nit nurse who came to school regularly and pulled your hair about? Fungal infections of the skinFungal infections of the skin are the second most common infection. Constipation This is a common problem as we get older, since we do not eat so much, nor do we take as much exercise. |
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.
Weight loss The risks of being overweight are many, ranging from painful feet and knees to coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. The vast majority of people who are overweight would like to weigh less, but we know that instead of the incidence of overweight and obesity decreasing, it is in fact increasing. 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 heart It is well recognised and accepted that there are many 'risk factors' for heart disease, many of which are lifestyle risk factors. 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. |
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.
