Staying warm
Cold temperatures can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to infections like the flu and colds. Staying warm supports the body’s ability to fight off illnesses.
If you or someone you know is struggling to afford heating to keep their homes warm.
Warm Homes Healthy people Groundwork near me - Groundwork has some great advice and information that can help reduce energy costs and impact on the environment. You'll find a range of government approved schemes that could also help.
If, like me you enjoy the warm comfort of a hot water bottle, please be careful. Using old hot water bottles can pose a risk of leaks or cracks, potentially causing nasty burns.

Childrens' blood tests
Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust provides a service for children under 12 referred from their GPs for a blood test. This is held in Paediatric Outpatients at St Luke's Hospital, which is situated on level 1 (ground floor level) of Horton Wing. A Paediatric blood test has to be arranged by telephoning Bradford 01274 365469 between the hours of 10am-11am Monday - Friday. An answer phone is available outside these hours. Blood tests will only be carried out if you are in receipt of a fully completed appropriate request card from your GP. PLEASE ASK AT RECEPTION FOR AN INFORMATION LEAFLET.
Flu Drop-in-Sessions
Please note that the flu season will be starting at the Surgery on 25 September 2023. Letters will be sent to patients who are eligible for the flu vaccination. There is a list available at the Surgery with times and dates of the Drop-in-Sessions.

I to Z – Named accountable GP is Dr Ahmed

Although you have been assigned a named accountable GP this does not mean you are unable to see another GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
