O n Monday, there will be a beginners walking group, starting from the Canal Basin at 1.45pm and in the evening, at the surgery’s Dyneley Barn, an introduction to Craven Leisure’s free 12 week healthy lifestyles course.
On Tuesday, there will be guidance and support for young families, and learning how to deal with basic medical problems, and on Wednesday, a pamper session for carers.
A meeting of the patient participation group will take place on Wednesday, and on Thursday, there will be a meeting of dementia friends. Also on Thursday will be a regular meeting of the ‘sporting memories group’.
