For many of us the summer holidays are done and dusted or close to being so. Summer holidays are great. It's a time to get away and unwind and take that well deserved break. While that is great, it does deprive us of one of our main assets when improving our fitness, consistency.

Try this experiment: sit quietly where you won’t be disturbed. Gaze at an everyday object for a minute; a cup, a spoon, a book. Then, close your eyes and attempt to visualise that object for another minute.

Flu and covid vaccine programmes brought forward  due to risk of new covid variant

We had some lovely summer meetings – with bowls, arts and crafts, and cheese and puddings! It was quite a mixture! This month, Wednesday 20 September, at the Kibworth Cricket Club, we hope to have a tutorial on how to take a better photo with your mobile phone. Some art and crafts will follow next month.

We carried out an announced focused inspection at South Leicestershire Medical Group on 20 June 2023. Overall, the practice is rated as requires improvement.

There has been a men’s keep fit group in Kibworth since the 1960s. Originally based in Kibworth Grammar School Hall, then subsequently in Kibworth Village Hall and Kibworth High School Hall. 

One of the more interesting tomes in Kibworth Community Library is a large book of the top 50 (musical) popular songs for each year for the last 70 years. It is part of the Playlist for Life resource.

Since the Care Quality Commission Inspection (CQC) April 2022, SLMG has made many improvements to ensure that it delivers high quality services to people. The practice recognised that some patients felt their experiences were falling short of the services they deserve. Feedback has been listened to and has helped to drive forward many improvements. It is important to note that the Integrated Care Board are supporting and monitoring a (QIP) for SLMG which was developed using the findings of the inspection. The QIP is reviewed and updated regularly using a risk assessment tool to assess priority actions needed.  The CQC will arrange a visit to SLMG in the future to carry out a targeted inspection of the areas raised.
