- Vaginal bleeding that is unusual for you: if you have regular periods, unusual vaginal bleeding happens any time outside of your regular period. It may happen between periods, during or after sex or after the menopause.
- Changes to vaginal discharge: Changes can include it looking different – for example, becoming much thicker or changing colour, or smelling different – particularly if it smells unpleasant.
- Pain or discomfort during sex: Sex may be painful for lots of reasons, but to reassure you and so sex can become more comfortable, it is important to contact your GP and tell them about the pain.
- Pain in your lower back or between your hipbones: it is a good idea to tell your GP about this pain if there is no obvious reason for it, it is affecting your day-to-day life or it lasts for 2 to 3 weeks or longer.

ADHD Medication Shortage
We want to make patients aware that there are global problems with the availability and supply of a range of medication used to treat ADHD.
This is an issue beyond the control of Primary Care and Pharmacy services.
The supply disruption of these products is caused by a combination of manufacturing issues and an increase in demand to manage ADHD. At present we do not know when these issues are likely to resolve.
Medications affected by the supply issues are:-
Methylphenidate:
- Equasym XL®10, 20 and 30 mg capsules
- Xaggitin XL®18 and 36 mg prolonged-release tablets
- Concerta XL®54 mg prolonged-release tablets
- Xenidate XL®27 mg prolonged-release tablets
Lisdexamfetamine:
- Elvanse®20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mg capsules
- Elvanse®Adult 30, 50, and 70 mg capsules
Guanfacine:
- Intuniv®1, 2, 3 and 4 mg prolonged-release tablets
*If you are affected by these supply issues you would need to contact the service who initiated your medications... i.e. the Community Mental Health Team, CAHMS, SAANS or other private providers*
More information can be found here - https://www.derbyshirehealthcareft.nhs.uk/getting-help/understanding-your-medication/national-supply-shortage-adhd-medication

Mask Update by the NHS Derby & Derbyshire ICB
Due to the increase in Covid19 related outbreaks, we have been asked to return to mask wearing in Practice by the NHS Derby & Derbyshire ICB.
Staff will be wearing masks around the building, and Clinicians will be wearing them during appointments.
To reduce the risk of transmission, we encourage patients to do the same, particularly if you has respiratory symptoms.
This is to minimise disruption to our service and ensure those most vulnerable are still protected when accessing care.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

New Emergency Department Opens at Chesterfield Royal Hospital
A Once in a Lifetime Trip (hopefully)…
Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s new Emergency Department is opening on Wednesday (21st June 2023) but they don’t want you to visit, unless you really need to.
The new development, with its state-of-the-art approach to patient flow, highly spec’d equipment, ultra-modern technology and a real grounding in the community through the locally sourced artwork and wayfinding will be jewel in Chesterfield’s crown but it’s vital that people only visit if they truly need to.
Dr Katherine Lendrum, Clinical Lead for the UECD and ED Consultant, commented further: “The new Emergency Department is an absolutely amazing facility which will provide our local population with Emergency Care when they really need it!
We genuinely hope we don’t need to see people but if someone needs us, we will be there and do our absolute best to give high quality care in a timely manner.
Emergency departments are open 24/7 365 days a year; they are staffed by a large team of nurses and clinicians (doctors and allied health professionals) who have expertise in immediately life or limb threatening emergencies.”
Dr Hal Spencer, Chief Executive of the Trust, said: “This is a truly fantastic facility for the hospital and the communities we serve. With clinical leadership, engagement at all levels and years of planning, I’m very proud of the skills, experience and hard work that have gone into shaping our new Emergency Department. We are on time in opening the facility and have delivered on budget, with building work starting during Covid. It is testament to a great team who have worked tirelessly to deliver this work. Thank you to everybody.”
Dr Anthony Kenny, Programme Director for the Emergency Department development, said: “The new department has the ability to live monitor patients, it has a dedicated children and young people’s area and a specialist zone for neurodiverse patients or those experiencing a mental health crisis, all of which mean we are providing a truly world-class facility for the region. The area above the department is one of the proudest ‘added extra’ elements; we have a state-of-the-art simulation suite and facilities which will support ED colleagues in providing the best possible care including modern changing and break-out rooms.”
Dr Lendrum concluded: “Sometimes (in up to 70% of attendances) people choose to come to an emergency department with less urgent problems - perhaps because they don’t know where to go or because they perceive they will be seen quicker; get all the tests they need done or be treated faster.
Problems that have lasted many days, weeks or months, that you would like a second opinion on or are already being managed by another team often do not fit into an emergency category.
If you feel well enough to have your tea before coming to an ED think again - could my problem be managed by someone else better tomorrow?! It is everyone’s responsibility to use health care services wisely. ”
Alternative sources of help for less urgent problem, particularly out of hours include NHS111, local pharmacies and urgent treatment centres.
For those wanting to see the new department, the Trust will be launching a series of tours and photographs – including a click through view of each area and tours from colleagues at the Trust (available on the Trust website by clicking here from 21st June).

Beat the Heat 2023
Temperatures are expected to be high this week and whilst many of us look forward to this, high temperatures can be dangerous for some people.
Please look out for people who may be more vulnerable from heat, including the very young, older people and those who find it difficult to alter their behaviour or homes.
See the information resources below to use for any events that may be planned to ensure that you consider the effects of heat in your planning.
Guidance and information can be found here: Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Please ensure people are encouraged to:
- Sign up to the new heat health alerts https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/seasonal-advice/heat-health-alert-service
- Be aware of who is at higher risk of heat... and have a plan in place to reduce that risk
Consider...
- access to shade,
- monitoring for dehydration and ensuring access to fluids: remind people to drink regularly
- change activities to avoid the hottest times of the day 11am-3pm
- wearing appropriate clothing when outside: loose fitting clothes to cover up, wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and suncream
- close windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun: open windows when the air is cooler outside than inside and then try to get air flowing through your home/venue
- know how to spot the signs of heat exhaustion, dehydration or heatstroke and know what to do

World Narcissistic Abuse Day
The June 1st 2023, is Narcissistic Abuse Day, one of the lesser talked about awareness days but arguably one of the most important.
According to the ONS, in 2021-2022 across Derbyshire there were 15,945 cases of domestic abuse-related crimes recorded by the police (this includes emotional and physical abuse) and sadly, these are just the crimes that are reported, many cases will go unreported for fear of repercussions.
Because of it’s nature, coercive or narcissistic abuse often goes unnoticed by victims and their families and friends. Unlike physical abuse, narcissistic abuse leaves no physical marks, it is invisible and difficult to prove. Yet, its effects are lasting and just as a damaging as physical abuse.
The Elm Foundation operates across Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire, Bolsover, and parts of Amber Valley and they provide domestic abuse support services across the community irrespective of a person’s age, sex, ethnicity, disability, gender identity or immigration status.
Signs of Narcissistic Abuse:
- Love-bombing
"A love bomb is a manipulation technique used most often by narcissists, and even cult leaders, to gain power over someone... They bomb you with affection, excessive attention and gifts to ‘lure you in.’ The intention is to make their victim helpless, vulnerable and indebted to them.” -Jerimya Fox - Gaslighting
Intentionally distorting reality to make you feel like what you’re seeing or feeling isn’t real. Examples of Gaslighting may look like this:
"You're crazy, that never happened"
"I never said that"
"It's All In Your Head" - Ignoring Boundaries
"The first thing to remember about narcissists is they need to be in control and they also need to be right. Boundaries get in the way of both things. They can’t control the narrative if you’ve put a roadblock in their way. When you set a boundary, they see it as you questioning what they’re doing. How dare you question them! They’re always right! And then they just bulldoze straight through the boundary like it was tissue paper." -Love with Intelligence - Character Assassination
A classic Narcissistic Abuse tactic that does exactly what it says on the tin. Deliberate exaggeration or manipulation of facts to present an untrue picture of the victim which can leave you feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unfairly judged. - Accusations
Accusations can be used by an abuser to manipulate you into doing what they want. "When you’re in a relationship with a narcissistic abuser, you may be accused of lying, stealing, cheating, or other negative behaviors. Being wrongfully accused can put you on the defensive, which can help deflect from the behaviors and actions of an abuser." -Talk Space - Emotional Blackmail
Emotional Blackmail is a manipulative tool, using your weaknesses, secrets or vulnerabilities against you to get what they want from you. Emotional Blackmail can look like this:
"If you leave me, I'll kill myself"
"You'll never see the kids again"
"If you actually cared about me, you would do..." - Projecting
"Narcissists can’t accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong. So if something isn’t working, and they want control over the situation, they literally put their feelings on you. Since narcissists live in fantasy worlds, they refuse to see their own faults and failures, which means the blame that would usually be placed on them is projected onto their victims" -Reach Out RecoveryAlways phone 999 in a life threatening situation.

📣 Polite Reminder 📣
Bowel Cancer Screening
In a new ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign that is the first of its kind nationally, NHS England is encouraging people who have been sent an NHS bowel cancer screening kit to complete the test.
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, and detecting it at the earliest stage makes you up to nine times more likely to be successfully treated. But, almost one third of people who were sent an NHS bowel cancer screening test in England last year did not go on to complete it. Just a tiny sample detects signs of cancer before you notice anything wrong. The test is simple to complete and can be done in the privacy of your own bathroom.
Anyone aged 60 to 74, who lives in England and is registered with a GP practice will be sent a test in the post automatically, every two years. NHS England is also extending this to include all 50 to 59 year-olds by 2025.
So, the NHS is asking anyone who is sent a bowel cancer screening test to remember to complete it. Put it by the loo.
Don’t put it off. Your next poo could save your life.
