Cervical Screening

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month - January 2026

Cervical cancer leads to approximately 685 deaths in England each year. However, through cervical screening and the HPV vaccination programme, eliminating cervical cancer is more achievable than ever before. 

We are providing extra appointments this month to be able to screen our patients who are due their cervical screening. You will be invited directly by us via text message if you are due.

Our wonderful team of nurses will support and guide you through the whole process.

Update re access to obesity management medications

Access to obesity management medications (this includes weight loss injections such as Monjaro and Wegovy) in Suffolk and North East Essex is only available via the Weight Management and Complex Obesity Service (WMCOS). GPs in Suffolk and North East Essex cannot yet refer new patients into this service as it is currently working through existing waiting lists. For this reason, please do not book an appointment or call the practice to request Mounjaro® or any other obesity management medications. 

For the latest information, please visit the dedicated  NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB webpage.
