Lung cancer awareness.

Lung cancer is increasingly affecting people who have never smoked, making it one of the most alarming trends in modern health. Studies show that environmental factors such as air pollution, secondhand smoke, and radon exposure play a major role in this rising crisis.

This trend is especially concerning among women and certain ethnic populations, with adenocarcinoma now the most common type of lung cancer in non-smokers. Despite the decline in smoking rates globally, lung cancer in those who have never smoked continues to rise, signalling the need for heightened awareness and preventive measures.

Experts warn that subtle symptoms like persistent cough, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue should never be ignored, even in non-smokers. Regular health screenings, clean air initiatives, and lifestyle adjustments are becoming increasingly crucial in combating this silent epidemic.

The rise of lung cancer among non-smokers highlights that cancer prevention is no longer just about quitting smoking, it’s about understanding environmental risks and staying proactive about lung health. Everyone, regardless of smoking history, should take steps to protect their lungs and recognise early warning signs before it’s too late.

Are your child’s vaccines up to date? 🧸

• Illnesses like measles and whooping cough can spread very easily between children who are not vaccinated.

• These illnesses can make children very sick, leading to hospital stays or lifelong problems.

• If your child is not vaccinated, they are not protected.

• It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection. Some need booster doses later too.

• Check your child’s red book or speak to your GP practice to see if they have missed any.

• You can still catch up on most missed vaccines.

• All the childhood vaccinations are free. As children grow up, they will be offered more vaccine appointments, right up until they are teenagers. Some vaccines are offered at school.

• Vaccinations offered by the NHS are thoroughly tested to assess how safe and effective they are. All medicines can cause side effects, but vaccines are among the very safest.

• Research from around the world shows that immunisation is the safest way to protect our children’s health.
