Quit smoking this Stoptober

When you stop smoking, good things start to happen — you can begin to see almost immediate improvements to your health.

So this October, join the thousands of smokers committing to quitting.

Stop smoking for 28 days and you’re 5 times more likely to give up for good.

It’s much easier to stop smoking when you get the right support and there are lots of options to choose from.

Check out our free tools, tips and support to help you stay on track. Let’s do this!

The Friends & Family Test Have your say to improve your healthcare

Did you know you can now have your say to help improve more services across the NHS?

The Friends & Family Test is about giving patients the
opportunity to provide quick feedback on their care and
treatment experience. It’s in use across most local NHS
healthcare services.
You can say what is going well and what can be improved
so that people who make decisions about local healthcare
can take your views into account.
It doesn’t take long and you don’t need to give your details
on your feedback form.
Next time you visit your GP, dentist or hospital, look for
details in the reception or waiting room or ask a member of
staff.

Your feedback will help us learn more about what you think of your experience – what you like and what you think we could improve. Ultimately, you’re helping us to make changes that will ensure we can offer the best possible care.

Community Support

The increasing numbers of people living with long-term conditions means that more people are likely to need support from community health services in the future.

Shepherds Bush Medical Centre provides support to patients with complex health needs across a range of needs and age groups but are most often used by older people, those living with frailty or chronic conditions and people who are near the end of their life.

Shepherds Bush Medical Centre is helping all patients by connecting and referring them to support groups, organising assessments and giving social care and housing advice.

Beyond NHS services Shepherds Bush Medical Centre often supports people with multiple, complex health needs who depend on many health and social care services to meet those needs.

Please see the latest outcome of the community engagement and support provided by Good Gym for one of our patients:
