💙 World Ovarian Cancer Day – 8th May 💙

Today we’re raising awareness of ovarian cancer and the importance of knowing the symptoms. Early recognition can make a real difference.

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be vague and easy to overlook, but persistent changes should always be checked.

🚩 Symptoms to be aware of:
• Persistent bloating
• Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Needing to wee more urgently or often

If these symptoms occur frequently (more than 12 times a month) or feel unusual for you, please don’t ignore them.

💬 Trust your instincts — you know your body best. If you’re worried, speak to a healthcare professional.

Our team is here to listen and support you. If you have any concerns, please contact the practice. 💙

☀️ Sun Awareness Week (6th – 12th May) ☀️

As the weather gets warmer, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun.
Too much sun can cause sunburn, skin damage, and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Stay safe by:

✔️ Wearing sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
✔️ Seeking shade, especially between 11am–3pm
✔️ Covering up with hats and sunglasses
✔️ Avoiding sunbeds
✔️ Checking your skin regularly for changes

🌼 Enjoy the sunshine safely and take care of your skin!

📍 St veronicas Church Hall, BB4 4JR
🗓 Last Sunday of every month (excluding December)
⏰ 2:00pm – 4:00pm

You can expect:
✨ Open and gentle discussions
✨ Emotional support and reassurance

🌾💚 Coeliac Awareness Month – May 2026 💚🌾

This May, we’re raising awareness of coeliac disease – a serious autoimmune condition where the body reacts to gluten.

For those living with coeliac disease, even small amounts of gluten can cause harm. That’s why understanding, support, and awareness matter every single day.

✨ Did you know?

• 1 in 100 people in the UK are affected
• Symptoms can vary – from stomach pain and fatigue to no symptoms at all
• The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet

💬 How you can support:

• Be mindful of cross-contamination when preparing food
• Offer gluten-free options at events and gatherings
• Learn more and help spread awareness

Let’s work together to create a more inclusive, understanding community for everyone living gluten-free 💛

🧼🌍 World Hand Hygiene Day – 5th May 🌍🧼

Clean hands save lives — it’s as simple as that. 💙

Good hand hygiene is one of the easiest and most effective ways to stop the spread of infections and protect yourself and others.

🖐 Remember to wash your hands:

🚻 After using the toilet
🍽 Before eating or preparing food
🤧 After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
🏥 When visiting healthcare settings
🐾 After touching animals or outdoor surfaces
💡 Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitiser if soap isn’t available.

Small actions make a big difference — let’s all do our part to keep our community safe and healthy. 💙
