‼️today - 3pm‼️

📢 Government Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 📢

This Sunday, the government will be testing the new Emergency Alerts system.
➡️ A loud siren-like sound will be sent to all mobile phones at around 3pm.
➡️ This is just a test – no action is needed.
The system is designed to warn people in real emergencies (such as severe weather or danger to life).

If you or someone you know may find the alert distressing (for example, those with sensory sensitivities or domestic abuse concerns), please be aware and take steps in advance.

Stay safe,
The Forum Health Centre 🧡💜

When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.

Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.

You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.

Start here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/refer-yourself-for-nhs-pregnancy-care/
