Skin Cancer Awareness Month takes place every May, dedicating a month-long focus to raising awareness about the importance of sun safety and early detection of skin cancer. Unlike some health awareness months, this crucial campaign remains a fixture in the calendar, providing an annual opportunity to educate and empower individuals to take proactive steps to protect their skin.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer globally, yet it is also one of the most preventable. Skin Cancer Awareness Month aims to dispel myths, provide education, and encourage regular skin checks to detect skin cancer early when it’s most treatable.

What is Stroke Awareness Month?
Stroke Awareness Month takes place every May to raise awareness of the devastating impact of stroke. It also highlights the importance of providing vital support for stroke survivors and those who care for them. This year, we're asking you to Make May Purple, so we can support more people affected by stroke.

Your GP practice will contact you when your child is due.
This World Immunisation Week, it’s a good time to make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations.
