In times of hot weather, it is important to know the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
Heat exhaustion does not usually need emergency medical help if you can cool down within 30 minutes.
If it turns into heatstroke, it needs to be treated as an emergency, call 999.

It is Group B Strep Support (GBSS) Awareness Week.

Group B Streptococcus (GBS or Strep B) is the most common cause of severe infection in newborn babies, causing sepsis, pneumonia, or meningitis.

Two babies on average develop GBS infection in the UK every day. Tragically one of those sick babies dies every week and one survivor is left with long-term disability.

England’s rate of group B Strep infection in babies rose by 77% between 1996 and 2020.

The rate of group B Strep infection in infants in England is currently more than double that of many other high-income countries, many of which have introduced routine antenatal screening for GBS.

Are you thinking about weight loss medications? Weight loss medications mimic gut hormones released after eating, telling the brain you are full.
Weight loss medication should be taken under medical supervision and only be used as part of a healthy, balanced diet and increased physical activity.
You should speak to a healthcare professional or search 'NHS obesity treatment' to find out whether these are right for you and how to access them.
