Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery. It’s free. You do not need ID, proof of address or an NHS number to register. Dr Kiren Collison explains how using the Register with a GP surgery service helps ensure a warm welcome for everyone. england.nhs.uk/blog/general-…

So very sad to hear of this terrible tragedy. Sending all the love in the world to the families and friends affected.
On behalf of our entire College community, we send our love and deepest sympathy to Dr Sanjoy Kumar and the O’Malley-Kumar family on the shocking and devastating loss of their daughter Grace in the Nottingham tragedy. @KamilaRCGP @ClareGerada

It’s #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. It’s not a test for cancer, it’s a test to help prevent cancer. Protect yourself – attend your cervical screening when invited.
