While this is true in some parts of the country, it’s not yet available in South Yorkshire.</p> 726<p class="xmsonormal">That’s because the people in charge are still making plans for how the service will work. This includes making sure additional support for physical activity, diet and nutrition is ready too.</p> 727<p class="xmsonormal">We know this might be disappointing, but we ask for your patience while everything is being sorted out.</p> 728<p class="xmsonormal">It’s also important to know that not everyone will be able to get tirzepatide, even if they want it. The NHS has very strict rules about who can have it, and some people might not meet those rules—even though the medicine is approved.</p> 729<p class="xmsonormal">In the meantime, we’re here to help.

Children aged 3 years, 4 months old are offered the MMR booster and the 4-in-1 pre-school booster to protect against serious illnesses from polio, tetanus diphtheria and whooping cough.</p> 778<p>
778At secondary school parents are asked to consent for their children to have the HPV vaccine from 12 years to protect against future cancers, such as cervical or penile cancer, and against genital warts.</p> 779<p>The Td/IPV vaccine, or 3-in-1 teenage booster, protects against tetanus, diphtheria, polio, and the MenACWY vaccine protecting against meningitis strains is offered too.</p> 780<p>University and college students are reminded to ensure they are up to date with their vaccines to protect against meningitis, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and cancers caused by HPV.</p> 781<p>For the newest pupils going into Reception GPs stress the importance of teaching children about basic hygiene, washing hands or using the toilet independently before school starts</p> 782<p><strong>Dr Lucy Cormack, GP and Medical Director at Primary Care Sheffield said:</strong></p> 783<p>Vaccination is one of the most important things we can do to give children the absolute best start in life. Therefore, it is important that your child is up-to date with their vaccinations before they start school. That is whether they are going for the first time, returning after the holidays, or even moving to college or university.</p> 784<p>A recent survey from UKHSA (UK Health Security Agency) shows most parents have confidence in the NHS vaccination program, with 89% agreeing that vaccines work, are safe (84%) and trusted (82%). Yet the rate of childhood vaccinations has fallen to worrying levels in the last 10 years putting individuals, families, and communities at risk. We know cases of measles and whooping cough have been increasing and are having a devastating impact on some vulnerable children.</p> 785<p>If children are not vaccinated, whether aged 3 or 18, they are just not protected. If they are not protected, nor are other children who are yet to have their vaccinations, therefore you will be protecting not only individuals but the community from serious illness and protecting the NHS from unnecessary hospital admissions.</p> 786<p>I ask parents, and students soon off to university or college, to take a moment, check their Red Book or contact their GP to see if their children's vaccinations are up to date. If there are any gaps, then please call your GP practice or use the NHS App to arrange a vaccination appointment today.”</p> 787<p>As well as protecting your children through vaccination, I ask parents to teach their children about basic hygiene steps before school starts. Young children are unlikely to understand the importance of personal hygiene so teaching them how and when to wash their hands properly, particularly before and after eating and after using the toilet will be invaluable in keeping them safe from catching illnesses at school.</p> 788<p>As a GP and a busy mum, now of older children, I remember and know that there are many things to think about before the new term starts. Vaccination and teaching basic hygiene are important ones on the list.</p> 789 <br /> 790 Published on 28th Aug 2024 791 </p> 792 </div> 793 </div> 794 795 796 <div id="BlogPost17690" class="nhsuk-card "> 797 <div class="nhsuk-card__content"> 798 <h2 class="nhsuk-card__heading"> 799 HSJ Award Shortlist 800 </h2> 801 <p class="nhsuk-card__description"> 802 803 <p>Primary Care Sheffield is delighted to announce that an innovative project delivered by its PCS|Practice team has been named as a finalist in the Digitising Patient Care category at this year’s prestigious Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards.</p> 804<p>The HSJ Awards recognise an outstanding contribution to healthcare and Primary Care Sheffield is proud to announce that the work the PCS|Practice teams have done to make it easier for patients to get the care they need has been selected as a finalist from over 1350 entries for this year’s awards.</p> 805<p>Primary Care Sheffield runs nine practices – PCS|Darnall, PCS|North Darnall, PCS|Highgate, PCS|Mulberry, PCS|City, PCS|Heeley, PCS|Sothall, PCS|Buchanan and Harold Street – which had previously been financially unviable or had other issue which might lead them to close.
805 These practices are largely in areas of high deprivation, with a large number of patients for whom English is not their first language. The practices have been working hard over the last year to change the way they work and introduce a brand new system to get rid of the 8am appointment rush and make it easier for patients to get access to the care they need.</p> 806<p>Lynsey Hughes, Primary Care Sheffield’s Director of Operation’s said “We’re delighted to be shortlisted for at the HSJ Awards 2024. The practice teams deserve this for the work they have done. They are hugely dedicated to their patients and have worked so hard to make improvements to services. I am so proud that their work has been recognised at a national level.</p> 807<p>“Whatever the result ‘on the night’, we already feel like winners for getting this far and want to make sure we share everything we have learned with other practices who want to take the same journey.”</p> 808<p>HSJ editor Alastair McLellan, adds; “The judges picked out PCS|Practices with their work standing out as a real ‘success story’ worthy of a prized place on the panel’s shortlist. We can’t wait to welcome Primary Care Sheffield to the awards ceremony in November and to recognise and applaud such impressive achievements across the sector.”</p> 809<p>The winner of the Digitising Patient Care Award will be announced at the official awards ceremony to be held in London on 21st November 2024.</p> 810<p>The full list of nominees for the 2024 HSJ awards can be found at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fawards.hsj.co.uk%2F&data=05%7C02%7Caadil.hassan%40nhs.net%7C4a721ffd25e74d3864be08dcba938cb2%7C37c354b285b047f5b22207b48d774ee3%7C0%7C0%7C638590390090633369%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mGo50P6tnsCOIohRG6lIou%2BbuEAvHrij%2BXJPbK5bkno%3D&reserved=0">https://awards.hsj.co.uk/</a> alongside details of the Awards partners at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fawards.hsj.co.uk%2Fpartners&data=05%7C02%7Caadil.hassan%40nhs.net%7C4a721ffd25e74d3864be08dcba938cb2%7C37c354b285b047f5b22207b48d774ee3%7C0%7C0%7C638590390090639590%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=bgRYlN33PQEA353riaMNmEP71mEZIeaRv9oFLbJ%2BQu8%3D&reserved=0">https://awards.hsj.co.uk/partners</a>.</p> 811 <br /> 812 Published on 13th Aug 2024 813 </p> 814 </div> 815 </div> 816 817 818 <div id="BlogPost17616" class="nhsuk-card "> 819 <div class="nhsuk-card__content"> 820 <h2 class="nhsuk-card__heading"> 821 Ongoing violent disorder 822 </h2> 823 <p class="nhsuk-card__description"> 824 825 <p>We are aware that the ongoing violent disorder orchestrated by the Far Right is causing a great deal of anxiety for many patients.

It uses tests to find abnormal changes in the cells of <a href="https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/cervical-cancer/the-cervix">the cervix</a>.</p> 921<p>The first part of cervical screening is to have a smear test. This is also called the cervical screening test.</p> 922<p>We have more information about having a <a href="https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/diagnostic-tests/smear-test">smear test</a>.</p> 923<p><strong>How painful is a cervical screening (smear) test? Does it hurt?</strong></p> 924<p>A cervical smear test should not hurt, but sometimes it can feel uncomfortable. If you're worried about the test causing you pain, your GP or practice nurse can explain ways they can make the test easier for you.</p> 925<p><strong>What is a cervical screening (smear) test looking for?</strong></p> 926<p>A cervical screening test checks for abnormal cell changes in <a href="https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/cervical-cancer/the-cervix">the cervix</a>. Cervical cell changes are common, and often improve naturally. But sometimes these changes need treatment because there is a risk they may develop into cancer.</p> 927<p>In England, Scotland and Wales, the sample is tested for a virus called <strong>HPV</strong> first. Samples that show high-risk <strong>HPV</strong> are then checked under a microscope for abnormal cells.</p> 928<p>In Northern Ireland, the sample of cells are now also first tested for HPV.</p> 929<p>The aim of cervical screening is to check for certain types of <strong>HPV</strong> and any abnormal cell changes early that might develop into cervical cancer if left untreated.</p> 930<p><strong>Do I need cervical screening if I’m a virgin or from the LGBTQ+ community</strong></p> 931<p>Cervical screening is for anyone who has a cervix, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The aim of cervical screening is to check for certain types of <strong>HPV</strong> and any abnormal cell changes early that might develop into cervical cancer if left untreated. You can get <strong>HPV</strong> through:</p> 932<ul> 933<li>vaginal, oral or anal sex</li> 934<li>any skin-to-skin contact of the genital area</li> 935<li>sharing sex toys</li> 936</ul> 937<p>You're still at risk of cervical cancer if:</p> 938<ul> 939<li>you've had the <strong>HPV</strong> vaccine – it does not protect you from all types of HPV, so you're still at risk of cervical cancer</li> 940<li>you've only had 1 sexual partner – you can get <strong>HPV</strong> the first time you're sexually active</li> 941<li>you've had the same partner, or not had sex, for a long time – you can have <strong>HPV</strong> for a long time without knowing it</li> 942<li>you're a lesbian or bisexual – you're at risk if you've had any sexual contact</li> 943<li>you're a trans man with a cervix</li> 944<li>you've had a partial hysterectomy that did not remove all of your cervix</li> 945</ul> 946<p>If you've never had any kind of sexual contact with a man or woman, you may decide not to go for cervical screening when you're invited. But you can still have a test if you want to. If you would be happy to discu
946ss it, making the practice aware of your decisions and reasons is helpful in ensuring we stop keep contacting you, and that we can understand the reasons people chose not to have screening.</p> 947<p>If you're not sure whether to have cervical screening, please book an appointment to talk to our nurse.</p> 948<p>If you are a trans man or non-binary person and have a cervix, you should have screening too. But, you may not be sent an invitation if you are registered as male with your GP. Tell your GP if you want to have cervical screening, so they can arrange regular tests for you.</p> 949<p>You do not need cervical screening if you are a trans woman or were assigned male at birth.</p> 950<p><strong>Places to find out more</strong></p> 951<p><a href="https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-awareness/cervical-screening-awareness-week">Cervical Screening Awareness Week (macmillan.org.uk)</a></p> 952<p><a href="https://www.jostrust.org.uk/">Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust | Cervical Cancer Charity (jostrust.org.uk)</a></p> 953<p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cervical-screening/">Cervical screening - NHS (www.nhs.uk)</a></p> 954 <br /> 955 Published on 17th Jun 2024 956 </p> 957 </div> 958 </div> 959 960 961 <div id="BlogPost14564" class="nhsuk-card "> 962 <div class="nhsuk-card__content"> 963 <h2 class="nhsuk-card__heading"> 964 The impact of Anima on appointments 965 </h2> 966 <p class="nhsuk-card__description"> 967 968 <p>Part of the reason of implementing total triage was to ensure that those that need treatment can access it as swiftly as possible.

From Wednesday 3rd January 2024 you will need to be taken through our triage system which is designed to make sure you get the help you need as fast as possible. The triage system means that a team of clinicians will assess your symptoms before giving you an appointment based on your clinical need rather than the time that you contact the surgery. That means that we have done away with the 8.30am rush for appointments! You can call or book online at any time during the day and we can make the appropriate appointment for you. </p> 1091<h2>How to book from Wednesday 3rd January:</h2> 1092<p style="font-weight: 400;">You can book online using the Anima online triage system: <a href="https://patients.animahealth.com/signIn">Register or Login</a></p> 1093<p style="font-weight: 400;">Call the practice to be taken through the triage process by one of our team: <a href=""Tel:01142332803"">0114 233 2803</a></p> 1094<h2>How will things change for me?</h2> 1095<p style="font-weight: 400;">You will have some new ways that you can book an appointment with us through our website but, don’t worry, you can still telephone us or visit the practice if that is what you would prefer.</p> 1096<p style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest benefit is that these changes will mean there will be no more “morning rush” to queue on the telephones.
