Been for a walk? Check for ticks.

Ticks love long grass and wooded areas - and they’re easy to miss. Some carry Lyme disease, which can cause flu-like symptoms or a red, circular rash.

🧲 If you find one, remove it with tweezers or a tick tool pull slowly and clean the area with soap and watter
👩‍⚕️ See your GP or call NHS 111 if you notice symptoms
🐾 And don’t forget to check your pets too!

If you have a common condition such as an ear infection, eczema, impetigo or a minor skin infection or require routine contraception, your local community pharmacy may be able to help.

Some pharmacies offer the Pharmacist Independent Prescriber Service – a free NHS service where you can get expert advice and free treatment if required, without needing to see your GP.

To find your local community pharmacy that offers this service, visit the Community Pharmacies page of our website: https://orlo.uk/unKCq and select ‘Independent Prescribing for Common Ailments and Contraception’ in the filter column.

The QUEST research study being carried out at Cardiff Metropolitan University. QUEST is a Questionnaire to Understand Experiences of Stroke and TIA. We are recruiting confirmed stroke patients (or their carers) to fill in a short online questionnaire.

The questionnaire will ask for a brief background about the patient’s stroke (time, type of stroke etc), before asking if the patient had previously been diagnosed with a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). For those patients who were not diagnosed with a previous TIA we ask if they can recall a time in which they may have experienced TIA symptoms concurrently, before exploring facilitators and barriers to seeking help. The questionnaire ends with an optional section relating to the patients cardiovascular risk factors and demographics.
