Wellbeing Advisor Team
Fort House Surgery are pleased to introduce our new wellbeing advisor team. Suzie and Sadie will be working with the rest of the team at the surgery to offer patients wellbeing advice and support.
Some of the services they are able to offer include:
- lifestyle medicine
- support with weight loss
- smoking and alcohol cessation
- help with social isolation
- help with low mood
- carer support
- social issues including debt and housing issues
They have completed professional training in all of the above areas and can advise and refer you to specialist services, including exercise on prescription for rehabilitation. They are also able to refer you to social services and community organisations to support with increasing care needs.
They offer face-to-face and telephone clinics, but will also be setting up regular support groups for specific patient groups such as carers, so look out for more details on these.
The service is available to anyone aged 18 or over, but is not a crisis service.
If you would like to book an appointment with one of the team, please submit an appointment request. You can also be referred by your health professional here at Fort House.

Parkrun Practice
Fort House Surgery are proud to be a parkrun practice.
As part of our commitment to the health and wellness of our community, we are now officially a parkrun practice. The parkrun practice initiative is a collaboration between the Royal College of General Practitioners and parkrun UK, designed to encourage practices across the UK to develop close links with their local parkrun.
Parkruns are social physical activity events which are held every Saturday morning. People can walk, run, volunteer or come along and watch. Taking part in parkrun is the perfect opportunity for people of all ages to be active, with others, in the open air. We want to inspire as many people as possible to lead healthy lifestyles, including practice staff.
Join Fort House at parkrun and discover the joy of movement while connecting with your fantastic community.
