It's that time of year... 🌻🪻🌸
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, like hay fever, this is a reminder that these conditions are best treated with the help of your local pharmacy where they can advise you on suitable products to be purchased over the counter. The NHS will not normally provide these items on prescription even to those patients who are exempt from prescription charges. Further information about hay fever can be found by following the link below:

The 25th March marks FND Awareness Day in the UK, a day for our community to come together to raise awareness of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and encourage others to learn more and get involved.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a brain network disorder that can affect anyone, at any age. Current estimates suggest that between 50,000 and 100,000 people in the UK may be affected by FND, although true prevalence remains unclear due to a lack of consistent reporting.

FND Awareness Day UK gives us the chance to come together as a community and be the to influence change.
