Prickly heat (heat rash) is common in warm weather and happens when sweat gets trapped under the skin. It can feel uncomfortable, but it’s usually harmless and clears up on its own.

Common symptoms include:
• Small red or raised spots on the skin 🌡️🔴
• An itchy, prickly or stinging feeling 🤧⚡
• Mild swelling or irritation 💧✨
• Often appears on the neck, chest, back or skin folds 👕🌿

What can help:
• Keep your skin cool and avoid overheating ❄️💙
• Wear loose, breathable clothing like cotton 👕🌿
• Stay well hydrated 💧✨
• Use cool compresses or showers to soothe the skin 🚿🧊

Heat rash usually improves within a few days, but if it doesn’t get better or you’re concerned, seek advice.

Too many women still die from preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Skilled care before, during, and after birth can save lives — and midwives are best placed to provide it.

📊 Achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered interventions by 2035 could avert 67% of these deaths.
⚠️ But the world is short of one million midwives.

Urgent action is needed to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce.

Having a personalised asthma action plan can help you stay in control of your symptoms and know exactly what to do if they change. It is a written plan agreed with your healthcare professional that explains your daily treatment, how to recognise worsening symptoms and what steps to take in an emergency.

A good asthma action plan can help you:
• Understand your triggers and how to avoid them 🌿⚠️
• Take the right medication at the right time 💊🩺
• Spot early warning signs of an asthma attack 👀💨
• Know when to seek urgent medical help 🚑⏱️

Keeping your plan up to date and easy to access can give you confidence and help prevent serious asthma attacks. 💙🫁✨

Knowing the signs of a stroke and acting quickly can save lives and reduce long-term disability. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and urgent treatment is essential.

Remember the FAST signs:
• Face drooping on one side 😟
• Arm weakness or numbness 💪⚠️
• Speech difficulty or slurred speech 🗣️❗
• Time to call 999 immediately ⏱️🚑

Recovery doesn’t stop after hospital care. Ongoing support, rehabilitation and connecting with others can make a big difference to rebuilding confidence and independence after a stroke. Peer support groups and specialist organisations can provide advice, encouragement and a sense of community for both patients and carers. 💙🧠✨
