As a practice we have worked very hard on this section on our website as we want to provide our patients with as much support as possible. On this page we have provided links to many different services all our patients can access and many accept self referrals - so an appointment with a GP is not needed. All of these websites are services our GP's recommend patients to look at.
Accessing Mental Health services
Some mental health problems can be managed without the help of a GP. There are a variety of materials available and local organisations offering help, as well as online services. You can also try our mood assessment quiz, which is designed to recommend resources to help you better understand how you feel.There are some mental health services that will allow people to refer themselves. This commonly includes services for drug problemsand alcohol problems, as well as some psychological therapies (IAPT) - this includes Let's Talk. Click here for more information.

Alcohol and you
Alcohol related problems and conditions are becoming a big issue for the NHS.
Excessive drinking is not just the domain of the young. Regular moderate drinking over a long period of time is also becoming a problem among the middle aged population. For example alcohol raises your blood pressure.
During your consultations with the doctor or the nurse you may be asked about your alcohol consumption. This is a new government initiative to educate patients about the problems associated with excessive alcohol intake.
The current advise is for alcohol intake should be no more than -
- Men: 3-4 units daily or 21 units per week
- Women 2-3 units daily or 14 units per week
It is recommended you should have at least 2 alcohol free days each week.
You may be asked to complete a questionnaire when you attend the surgery.
We have produced a leaflet explaining what level is safe and what damage you can do to yourself with excessive drinking.

• Less embarrassing
• Quick and easy
• Anonymous

Falls prevention information for patients and carers
In Leicestershire thousands of people are injured each year in falls. Apart from the pain, discomfort and inconvenience, the after effects of a fall can be life changing.
Experiencing a fall is one of the major reasons for concern expressed by adults over the age of 65. Falls can have a significant impact on the quality of life for patients and 35% of over 65’s will experience at least one fall in a year. This figure rises to over 50% for the over 80 age group.
The falls programme has changed the treatment pathway for older people to enable swifter access to therapy after a fall, to ensure those needing secondary care input do not need to wait so long, and provide services for older people to restore their strength and balance.

Think Pharmacist first!
Visit your pharmacist first for advice on minor conditions
'Think pharmacist first. They can provide much more than just a prescription' - West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CGG).'
Patients in West Leicestershire are being advised to see their pharmacist in the first instance for advice on minor conditions such as indigestion, travel sickness or diarrhoea which can be treated quickly by an over the counter medicine.
“By asking people to self-care in this way, and we know that most people already do, it is a fairer way of utilising resources wisely as most of these items can be purchased in pharmacies and supermarkets at much lower than it costs the NHS to provide on a prescription. It will also free up valuable GP and nurse time, which can be used to deal with more complex or serious health needs." - Dr Barlow.
Treatments that can be bought over the counter range in cost from less than a pound to more than a prescription charge but mostly cost as little as a few pounds. If everyone purchased these items rather than requesting a prescription it could save approximately £350,000 a year which would make a big difference to our services and free up resources for other treatments. In addition each item on a prescription costs the NHS £0.90 to dispense on top of the cost of the medicine.
Some medicines for minor illnesses do not need a prescription in order for you to obtain this medication from a local pharmacy such as pain killers, cough remedies, eye drops, emergency contraception. Prescription only medicines such as antibiotics must be prescribed by a qualified health professional - for more information click here.
Please feel free to take a leaflet from our waiting room at the surgery if you visit or click here to read the electronic version!

Travel Vaccination
There is currently a global shortage of many vaccines.
This means we are unable to guarantee we can provide what vaccinations you may need for foreign travel. According to Public Health England the vaccine shortages are likely to continue for the rest of the year. This shortage is due to manufacturing issues which have resulted in increased demand on all manufacturers’ supplies of vaccine.
If you need Travel Vaccinations we advise all patients to contact Boots Pharmacy.
How can Boots help?
Getting vaccinated can help prevent you from getting ill if you're exposed to diseases which we don't normally have in the UK. Boots can help you understand how to keep your risks low of getting a disease while abroad and help you work out which vaccinations and antimalarials you may want to consider depending on things like:
- Which regions you'll be visiting
- What activities you'll be doing
- Your age and general health
Some travel vaccinations may be needed several weeks before departure. Ideally you should see us six to eight weeks before travelling, but we may still be able to help if you're leaving sooner. These vaccinations can be provided by Boots.
How it works:
| 1 |
Book an appointmentSix to eight weeks before you travel, giving you time to start any courses of vaccinations |
| 2 |
Have a free personalised risk assessmentOur specially-trained pharmacist will advise you on any vaccinations and antimalarials you should consider |
| 3 |
Get any vaccinations and antimalarials you may need*You'll also be given additional personalised advice to help you stay healthy on your trip |
The Travel Vaccinations and Health Advice Service is available in selected UK stores (In our area it is Loughborough and Ashby). It's suitable for adults and children aged two and over. If you need antimalarials, our pharmacist can offer you them as part of this service if they're suitable. You don't have to book a separate appointment with the Malaria Prevention Service.
For further information please visit https://www.boots.com/health-pharmacy-advice/travelhealth/travel-vaccination-health-advice-service or call 0345 070 8090
The surgery is able to provide you with your vaccination history for you to take to these travel clinics or if you would like to see what vaccinations you have had.
For more information please visit https://www.travelpharm.com/blog/2017/10/vaccine-shortages-update/
