People living across Lancashire and South Cumbria have been asked to share their experiences of GP practices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With Christmas fast approaching, now is the perfect time to review the contents of your medicine cabinet and to get your repeat prescriptions ordered as soon as possible.

As Together an Active Future (TaAF) move into the next phase of our plans, we are looking to develop a partnership with a design agency who will help us bring our documents to life and help us share our learning.

In an effort to help commuters ditch their cars, the Department for Transport recently launched a £250 million ‘emergency active travel fund’ to help make local roads safer for cyclists and walkers to use. Blackburn with Darwen council will receive £385,000.

Sport England Chief Executive Tim Hollingsworth recently visited Pennine Lancashire to find out more about ‘Together an Active Future’ and meet residents and partners who are all working together to learn how to improve physical activity levels.

Local Primary Care GP Federation, which represents and supports all GP practices in Blackburn with Darwen has won a national award for their work to improve and increase cervical screening (smear test) attendance.
