To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level, it is safest not to drink more than 14 units a week, as recommended by the UK CMOs.

Drinking too much can seriously affect your health. The risk of developing a range of health problems increases the more you drink on a regular basis.

Call into your local pharmacy for advice and don’t forget to pick up an information leaflet.

May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, but with early detection, it’s highly treatable. This May, we’re supporting the Melanoma Fund's call to prioritise sun safety, especially for those spending time outdoors.

Simple steps matter:

- Use SPF 30+ daily

- Avoid sunbeds

- Wear protective clothing

- Check your skin monthly

- Book an annual skin exam

At Northern Clinics, we offer quick, non-invasive mole scans for early reassurance or action.

How does it work:

One of our experts will take images of your skin and send them to a dermatology specialist for review.

A dermatology specialist will analyse the images privately and send a report within 2 weeks*.

Find out more: www.northernclinics.co.uk

We provide the Mole Scanning services in partnership with ScreenCancerUK.

*Results typically return within 2 weeks; however, occasional delays may occur.

Antibiotics only work against bacteria – they don’t work for colds, flus or COVID-19 which are caused by viruses.
Visit your pharmacist for advice. Most simple infections clear up on their own. Over-the-counter medicines may help you to manage your symptoms.
