We wish all our patients a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

Poundbury Doctors Surgery were delighted with the donation of 12 blood pressure monitors from the Lions Club recently.  These monitors are very useful for us to lend to our patients for home use. 

When tested in a clinical setting (such as a GP surgery), patients may feel anxious, which can affect their blood pressure readings.  Monitoring at home provides a more accurate reflection of actual blood pressure and allows patients to track their blood pressure consistently over time.  Studies show that home blood pressure monitoring can lead to a reduction in clinical events such as heart attacks or strokes. 

If you borrow one of our BP monitors to use at home, please remember to return it to us along with your BP readings.

This is Tania (right-hand-side) receiving the Bronze Plus Award from Jackie Hicken, Mid Dorset PCN Carers Lead, for her work as Carer's Lead at Poundbury Doctors Surgery.  This is a new role for Tania and she has achieved so much in such a short time.  Well done Tania.

Poundbury Doctors Surgery were thrilled to receive the kind donations from Poundbury Garden Centre involved with our Social Prescribing work.  The plants all have known medical benefits and the befriending bench is to encourage patients to take a rest, have a chat with a friend or meet a new friend.

If you have borrowed one of our BP monitors to use at home, please return it to us.  We purchased 20 monitors which we have lent out to patients and none of them have been returned.  We do not have the resources to replace these machines.  Thank you.
