Keep Healthy

You can keep healthy by:

  • Not smoking or getting help to stop.
  • Drinking no more than 14 units (female) or 21 units (male) of alcohol per week.
  • Taking regular exercise.
  • Eating a healthy diet.
  • Seeing your dentist regularly.
  • Following your doctor’s advice when taking any prescribed medicines.
  • Keeping any appointments at the surgery or at the hospital.

Many patients will see a doctor or nurse regularly but others will not. Patients over 75 years who have not seen a doctor or nurse at all within the last 12 months, or patients between 17 and 75 years who have not seen a doctor or nurse at all within the last three years are encouraged to request a consultation for a review of their health.
