A new year is here and it’s the time we all make resolutions of what we want to do in the coming year. Have you given any thought to health related issues though?

PYB HEALTH PRACTICES SUPPORT PARKRUN!

The Older People’s Charter sets out what your rights are when using any health services.

Influenza or the flu affects hundreds of people across the UK each year during the winter months. It is also referred to as seasonal flu since it occurs only during winter, especially between October and April.

If you're looking to start, or develop, your running, why not get in touch with one of the groups in Bridgend.

We are extremely proud to announce that we have been shortlisted in the ‘Primary Care Innovation’ category for the 2018 HSJ Awards. The work we have carried out using a collaborative approach to standardise care across our 6 GP practices in Bridgend has been noticed and we are thrilled.

We know that getting older has its challenges - for example leaving work, loneliness, money worries and bereavement – and these can all affect our wellbeing.

We spoke to one of our PYB Health patients, Stephne Puddy about her experience of changing her relatively inactive lifestyle dramatically, and how she hasn't looked back. And never will. Well done Stephne!

We want to hear from you as to how you are keeping healthy this summer. Send us a picture, a thought or a drawing via our Facebook or Twitter pages to enter our competition.

The summer is officially here and it’s a given that many of us have lots of exciting plans in store for the months ahead, but it goes by so quickly and before we all know it, the nights will be drawing in and that familiar autumn chill will be in the air.
