Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming WALX, led by Sharon Walsh, to the group. We were shown how to walk correctly with the use of walking poles and we also tried using smoothies, (weighted hoops) which was great fun! You could feel it in your arms afterwards and we all left feeling revitalized! Thanks again to Sharon and her team.

Following last week’s chat with Mary Ibbotson, our practice nurse, where a few of you mentioned some issues with the NHS app, we’ve invited Hayley Geurts to join us tomorrow. Hayley’s a care coordinator at the Harpenden Health PCN and really knows the app inside out, so she’s the perfect person to help with any questions.

Last week we had the pleasure of having Mary Ibbotson with us. Mary is a practice nurse from Devonport House and works closely with patients going through cancer care reviews. It was a great chance to learn more about the support offered in her role and to reflect on our own experiences.

🌸🌼 MAY - WHAT'S ON LIST🌸🌼
May has only just begun, and it’s already given us everything from sunshine to cooler, rainy days. Hopefully, our mix of sessions will be much more pleasant than the weather’s surprises.

At RCSG, we have a great range of speakers and activities coming up. Mary Ibbotson, a Practice Nurse from Devonport House Surgery, will join us to answer questions about the cancer care the practice provides. Later, we’ll enjoy a Spring‑themed session with our talented Judi, and we’ll wrap up the month with a relaxed coffee and chat.
