Receptionist & Dispenser VacanciesFulltime and part time Receptionist & Dispensary Vacancies at Beechcroft and Taverham Surgery. Bites and StingsInsects are everywhere! They can bite at any time of the day but bites are more likely to occur in the evening so lots of repellant is needed after sunset. Head Lice Do you remember the nit nurse who came to school regularly and pulled your hair about? Colds Even in the 21st Century there is no magic cure for colds. Antibiotics do not work on viruses. There are hundreds of cold viruses, that is why we can catch a cold frequently. NosebleedsA common problem! The bleeding comes from the central septum of the nose, which divides the two nostrils. Glue earThis is a very common condition usually in children, although some adults have been known to have glue ear. |
Patient / Carers Involvement ForumWe are keen to provide appropriate services for our community and we want to involve our patients / carers to ensure we provide what you want. 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. 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 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. 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 heart It is well recognised and accepted that there are many 'risk factors' for heart disease, many of which are lifestyle risk factors. |
