Wednesday 22nd May 2017 - GP Bulletins

Posted 10:45am
Where do these days go? It's seriously five days since my last blog. Wow!! I will probably make a couple of entries today, but this one concerns my local health centres, medical practices and GP surgeries.

Social prescribing is important these days. A doctor should know of local projects and programs that can help both the physical and mental health of patients, and they can refer the patient to attend.

With that in mind, any local projects - like ourselves - need the medical practitioners to know of our interventions - namely our walks and fitness sessions.

Through one of our wonderful contacts - Cripplegate Foundation - we only discovered last week that there is an internal online GP Bulletin board - this is where you can "post" your events - and this information goes to all the GP places in Islington.

So last week, we put up three notices - for their approval - detailing our Tuesday fitness session at Highbury Leisure, our Saturday fitness session at Sobell, and our weekly health walk on Thursday with Highbury Grange Medical Practice.

It will be interesting to see if we get any referrals.
