“Treat yourself it’s Tuesday”
Many people view treats as the sugary kind but real treats come from giving our body health foods. Maintaining a nutritious and balanced diet is an important part of our mental and physical well-being.
If you are unsure where to start, our Social Prescribing team are on hand to help with information on healthier choices including cookery classes, allotment groups and more. Call your GP surgery to make an appointment with one of the team.

“Wellness Wednesday”
Taking medication appropriately and safely is an important part of helping improve our wellness. Medication is aimed to improve wellness but this may not be the case if you are taking medication incorrectly. Taking medication incorrectly can cause more harm than good.
Taking medications as prescribed can help improve your health outcomes. Being responsible and informed on medication use assures the maximum beneficial impacts of a medication you take.
Please speak to our team of GP’s and Pharmacists who can offer support and medication reviews to ensure you receive maximum benefits and minimal side effects to your medication.
“Talk it out Thursday”
Social interaction is an important part of maintaining our health and well-being. Keeping on top of difficult worries is easier when you talk them over with someone.
For some people it may be easier to discuss personal worries and struggles with a professional who is impartial and will not judge. Our Social Prescribing team are available to talk to those needing extra support.
Offering your own time to help others is also another rewarding way to boost well-being. The ‘Spare 5’ campaign is supporting Wirral to reduce feelings of isolation and promote inclusion.
