With the bank holiday on Monday 4 May approaching, make sure you order and collect your repeat prescription in advance to avoid any delays in getting your medication.

Pharmacies are extra busy around bank holidays and opening hours may be different, so it is recommended that any repeat prescriptions should be ordered and collected as soon as possible.

You can order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or through your GP practice. Follow our link in the comments to learn more.

April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month – a great reminder to check in on your health and know the signs.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, but when it’s found early, it’s highly treatable. If something doesn’t feel right for you – like changes in bowel habits, blood in your poo, or ongoing tummy discomfort – it’s always worth getting checked.

Our cancer bus is out in the community across Birmingham and Solihull next week. You can drop in, speak to healthcare professionals, and get advice on symptoms, screening, and early detection.

📍 Where to find the cancer bus:

17 April – Morrisons Small Heath (B10 0XA)
18 April – Mell Square, Solihull (B91 3BG)
19 April – Shri Guru Ravidass Bhawan (B21 9EN)
20 April – Birmingham Hippodrome (B5 4TB)
21 April – Bromford Bridge Church (B36 8QS)

No appointment needed – just come along for a chat.

💙 Catching cancer early saves lives.
