Dr Sophie Newton video resources

A catalogue of information videos, produced by Dr Sophie Newton, a GP at Station Road, Sowerby Bridge, are proving to be a great resource for practices and patients. The Station Road practice attaches the videos to accuRx templates to send to patients and have found them to be a useful way of relaying important health education. This includes a pre-diabetes video.
