Abington Medical Centre – Autumn Newsletter

At Abington Medical Centre, we are committed to keeping you informed and engaged with the latest updates, health tips, and services available at our practice.
Carers Award
We have recently been awarded the silver accreditation award from the Carers Association.
The practice staff have worked hard to ensure the services we offer and promote are up to date. We have a carers notice board in our reception with various information for our carers. We also invited our registered carers to an event in the practice where they could meet together and a member of the Carers Association Team did a presentation. We had a good attendance and will host another next year.
Please ensure if you look after someone that you make us aware that you are a carer:
- A carer is anyone, including children and adults, who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid
