And especially at this time of year, remember antibiotics don't work for viral infections such as colds and flu, and most coughs and sore throats.

It's #selfcareweek and we love this image reminding everyone of #50waystotakeabreak We'll be sharing info all week - at Medway CCG we want you to feel empowered to take responsibility for your own health needs & be informed about available services when you need them.

Medway, Swale, Dartford Gravesham and Swanley Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are setting up a new community-based dermatology service that will be in place from 1st April 2019.
Dermatology is the medical term for the treatment or management of skin conditions which can include rashes, lesions, lumps on the skin, changes to moles and skin cancer.
Conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis are commonly seen within a Dermatology clinic.
... We want to find out what matters most to those who use dermatology services as this will help us deliver an improved service for patients in the future.
Please note that this survey will close on 22 October 2018.

Did you know our Involving Medway project is a finalist at the HSJ awards? The final round of judging takes place next week so wish us luck! #HSJawards

Evening and weekend appointments are available across Medway from 1 October 2018 to anyone registered with a Medway GP.
Your appointment will be based at one of the new Primary Care Hubs within the Healthy Living Centres, which have been developed to improve the way you access services you would normally get from your GP practice.
Appointments must be booked through your usual GP surgery – you won’t be able to book directly with the hubs.
... For more information, including where the hubs will be based, contact your GP receptionist.
