Men are still reluctant to seek advice from a #doctor. Yes, it’s harder to get an appointment, BUT that isn't an excuse not to book one. Don’t worry or leave things, be it lumps, illness & #mentalhealth as leaving it can cause #anxiety problems, mentally & physically - so book that appointment now.
NHS logo You know your body best so if you notice a change that's not normal for you, it's important to get it checked by your GP.

Big thanks to our brilliant #paramedics this #InternationalParamedicsDay, their work within our community makes a real difference every day.

#UnityAndCommunity #IPD2025 #Paramedic #PrimaryCare
The International Paramedics 2025 logo is in the top left corner, made up of a illustration of the globe and a banner with the words ‘International Paramedics Day 2025, Unity and Community, 2025’. A header reads ‘International Paramedics Day’ with ‘Our paramedics’ underneath. There is a picture of West Mendip Primary Care Network paramedic Tom, based at Wells Health Centre with a quote that reads ‘I really enjoy working as a Paramedic in a GP Practice. It’s a proper team effort here, and we all work together. Every day is different, and I like being able to use my hands-on skills in a place where we support each other and get stuck in as a team.’ There is also a picture of West Mendip Primary Care Network paramedic Simon, based at Vine Surgery Partnership with a quote that reads ‘As a Paramedic working in Primary Care within a multidisciplinary team I can support colleagues to deliver high quality care to improve patient outcomes, often by carrying out a comprehensive, biopsychosocial review to ensure all aspects of the patient’s life are considered.’ The West Mendip PCN logo is in the bottom right corner.
