Lancaster medical practice launches ‘Your Health Matters’ Day
A new health initiative focused on prevention, early detection and wellbeing is set to take place at Lancaster Medical Practice on Saturday (June 13).
The ‘Your Health Matters’ Day aims to provide Lancaster Medical Practice patients with convenient access to a range of important health checks, screening opportunities and preventative healthcare services - all in one place.
The day is being organised to encourage patients to take proactive steps towards better health, with a particular focus on identifying potential concerns early, when treatment and management can be most effective.
Services expected to be available on the day include blood pressure and BMI checks, NHS Health Checks, RSV vaccination, Pneumonia vaccination and some cervical smear appointments.
Eligibility criteria applies to some services – details can be found on the Lancaster Medical Practice website.
The event will give patients the opportunity to access multiple services during a single visit where appropriate.
Patients can either pre-book an appointment or walk in on the day between 10am and 1.45pm.
Amy Williams, managing partner at Lancaster Medical Practice said: “The aim of our ‘Your Health Matters’ Day is to support our community in staying well and to make preventative healthcare more accessible.
“We’re aiming to reach patients that might need multiple appointments for different checks and complete them in one visit.
“Early detection can make a significant difference to outcomes, and we hope this event will encourage people to prioritise their health and wellbeing.”
The Your Health Matters Day is open to Lancaster Medical Practice patients only.
Patients can book their appointment via the NHS App, or by calling the practice on 01524 238150.
