Short, patient education videos playing regularly this month
These 1-4 minute educational videos are a valuable way to remind patients to ask the nurse or GP about health issues they may be facing or experiencing.
Respiratory & skin

Patients learn what asthma is, what commonly triggers symptoms, and how to manage their condition with the right medication and an asthma action plan. Regular GP reviews are emphasised as essential to keeping asthma well controlled.
Cancer & screening
Bowel Cancer
Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers, yet it is highly treatable when caught early. This video explains what bowel cancer is, the warning signs to look out for, and why talking to your GP promptly about any symptoms matters.
Mental health & wellbeing
Depression
Explaining what depression is, how it differs from ordinary sadness, and what the common symptoms look like, this video helps patients make sense of what they may be experiencing. Patients are reassured that effective treatments are available and encouraged to speak with their GP as a first step.
Respiratory & skin
Eczema
Causes and common triggers of eczema are covered alongside practical advice on managing flare-ups through skincare routines, moisturising, and avoiding irritants. Patients whose symptoms are persistent or affecting their quality of life are encouraged to see their GP.
Infectious disease
Influenza
Covering how influenza spreads and why it can be serious — particularly for vulnerable groups. Patients are encouraged to ask reception about vaccination and to see their GP early if symptoms develop.
Heart & cardiovascular
Heart attack
Warning signs of a heart attack — including less obvious symptoms — are covered clearly, with a strong emphasis on calling 111 immediately. Patients are encouraged to know their personal risk factors and to understand that acting fast can be lifesaving.
Infectious disease

Patients are walked through the correct first aid technique for managing nosebleeds at home, along with the common causes behind them.

Infectious disease
Strep throat
Explaining the symptoms of streptococcal throat infection and why a proper diagnosis matters, this video emphasises the importance of completing a full course of antibiotics if prescribed.
Heart & cardiovascular
Stroke
Using the FAST acronym (Face, Arms, Speech, Time), patients learn to recognise the signs of stroke and understand why acting immediately is critical. Calling 111 without delay is emphasised as the action that most improves outcomes.
Diabetes & nutrition
Type 2 diabetes
Risk factors and early signs of type 2 diabetes are covered alongside the lifestyle changes that can prevent or delay its onset. At-risk patients are encouraged to get a check with their GP, and available management options are explained.
