My name is Dr Chris Bonham, a resident of Kibworth, and a new member of the East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme (EMICS). I am an Army GP trainee with previous training in anaesthetics and critical care. As a result I have a keen interest in pre-hospital emergency medicine.

The Market Harborough Crisis Café at The Symington Building is open to anyone who feels they would benefit from some mental health support. Call in on Wednesdays whether you are feeling lonely or anxious. Call in if you are finding it hard to manage difficult feelings or situations.

He was the richest person in the land, and one of the most self-opinionated and boastful. Although many people flocked around him, even Lu Yun realised that this was because of his status and wealth. It so happened that one day, as Lu Yun was walking through the fruit market with his entourage. He spied a young woman at one of the stalls and fell instantly in love.

The Practice have recently paused the use of Social Media channels. For the foreseeable future, all communications will be posted on the Practice website.

I have in front of me two of my most treasured possessions, both books. One is the very first 'Doctor Who Annual (1965) and the other is a novel by the science fiction writer and visionary, Arthur C Clarke. The story is called ‘The City and the Stars’. I bought it in 1970 and still have that original copy.

Interested in getting into shape, being more healthy & more active!

Summer is almost here! With 2020 behind us, the prospect of holidays and even (fingers crossed) foreign travel to sunnier climes is a very real possibility. But, if you are going to enjoy the sun this year it’s still essential to protect your eyes from damaging rays of sunlight. Whilst, of course, still looking fabulous.

This is a visualisation technique based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, physical state and behaviours are all connected, so that the deliberate use of the imagination can have a positive effect on how we think, and what we think about, in order to modify the way we feel.

As of Saturday 10 April, SLMG will have completed over 10,000 COVID-19 vaccinations to our patient population. All COVID-19 vaccinations currently take place at Kibworth Medical Centre (KMC) on Smeeton Road. As per NHS England specifications, practices that belong to our Primary Care Network (PCN) also have to provide their Pfizer vaccinations from KMC. This is because the Pfizer vaccine cannot be moved from site-to-site. It is also because the vaccine needs to be utilised within four days from delivery. Therefore, Billesdon Surgery and The Croft Medical Centre in Oadby use KMC on a regular basis to vaccinate their patients.
