Fact Sheets

Friends of Webb-Peploe Surgery is committed to improving patient access to health education, and one of the many ways that we can do this is by providing information on those health matters that are of concern to the patients of Webb-Peploe Surgery in particular and to the local community in general.

The Internet provides a wealth of information on health matters – but not everyone has access to it, and there is also a very real risk that some of this information is at best misleading and at worst dangerous. Our aim is to list the appropriate web sites on this page and in our newsletter and also to provide paper copies of the information presented in these web sites for those who do not have access to the Internet.

Under each of the following topics we have listed links to those web sites providing helpful information. Just click on a link to be taken to the relevant web site. Where no web site is available, a contact telephone number is provided. If you would like information on a topic that is not listed here, then please let us know – either via our Forum page or by contacting our Chairman whose details are on our Contacts page.
