“Only older people get Parkinson’s.”

It’s something we’ve heard countless times, and one that our community continues to hear far too often.

But it's a myth.

While Parkinson’s is more common in older adults, it doesn’t discriminate by age. Younger people are also diagnosed with it, sometimes in their 20s, 30s and 40s.

Parkinson’s can affect anyone, and there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ person with the condition.

It’s time to challenge the assumptions, break down misconceptions and help more people understand what Parkinson’s really looks like.

💜 A story of hope, heartbreak and survival.

Debra knows better than most how devastating pancreatic cancer can be. Diagnosed at just 32, her experience began with something she almost dismissed: an itch around her ankles before a friend’s wedding.

But the itching got worse. She became jaundiced, her urine darkened and she began to realise something wasn’t right.

Looking back, Debra believes her body had been trying to tell her something was wrong for months.

Debra survived the disease and went on to build a life she once feared might not be possible.

She married the man who stood by her throughout her treatment, became a mum to two beautiful children and found a new passion for running.

But her story also carries heartbreak. In May 2025, Debra lost her mum to pancreatic cancer, the same disease she had fought and survived herself.

Now, Debra is sharing her story to help others recognise the signs and symptoms, trust their instincts and seek medical advice when something doesn’t feel right.

As Debra says:
💬 “My story has heartbreak but it also has real hope, strength and survival.”

Tomorrow, we launch our new campaign for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month:
DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE DYING TO ASK.

Because you know your body better than anyone. Don’t dismiss the signs and symptoms. Don’t put off asking.

You may have read about Lewy body dementia in the news recently following the sad passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.

If you don’t know what Lewy body dementia is, you’re not alone. Here’s what you need to know.

Dementia is caused by different diseases that affect the brain. Lewy body dementia is caused by Lewy body disease. About 1 in 10 people with dementia has Lewy body dementia.

In this disease, tiny clumps of proteins known as Lewy bodies appear in the nerve cells of the brain, causing a range of symptoms, some of which are shared by Alzheimer’s disease and some by Parkinson’s disease.

For this reason, dementia with Lewy bodies is often wrongly diagnosed.

Everyone experiences dementia differently. Both Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can cause problems with staying focused, difficulties with making decisions, memory loss, and problems with the way the person sees things around them.

However, Lewy body dementia also causes symptoms that are not usually seen in Alzheimer's disease. These include hallucinations, problems staying fully awake, difficulties with movement and very disturbed sleep.

We have more information about Lewy body dementia on our website.

And if you’re worried about yourself or someone else, give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

👻 Halloween fact: the scariest blood-suckers aren't in costume. 🧛

Ticks can stay active all year long, lurking and looking for a bite. Don't let these tiny terrors sneak up on you - they can carry serious infections like Lyme disease.🕸️🩸

We understand that patients may sometimes have questions about why our surgery charges for certain services, so we wanted to explain a little more.

Your NHS GP appointment is free, but not all work carried out by a GP surgery is covered by the NHS. Some requests, such as private medical reports, insurance forms, letters, and other non-NHS paperwork, fall outside the services the NHS funds us to provide.

Our fees are set in line with the work required and are intended to cover the cost of providing the service, rather than to make a profit.

If you require a report, letter or other service urgently, please let us know at the time of your request. We will always endeavour to accommodate urgent requests and provide the fastest possible turnaround. However, please ask us for an anticipated completion date so we can advise you of a realistic timeframe. Our core NHS work and patient care must take priority, as our patients rightly expect, and we need to ensure these essential services are not compromised.

Thank you for your understanding, patience and continued support of our team. We remain committed to providing the best possible care to our patients.
