🍹❌ Feeling like it’s time for a reset? Sober October is your chance to take a break from alcohol, boost your health 💪, sleep better 😴, save money 💷, AND raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support 🎗️💚

Whether you're doing it for your body, your mind, or someone you love - it’s the perfect excuse to say no thanks to that drink and yes to a better you 🌟🧠

⚠️ Be careful of slipping into drinking more than usual - especially once October ends.
If you have a long-term condition, alcohol can interfere with your medication 💊 and make symptoms worse.

Try to build healthy habits that last:
✅ Make alcohol-free days a regular thing
✅ Know your limits
✅ Reach out for support if you're struggling

🛑 Sign up and go booze-free this October 👉 https://www.gosober.org.uk 🍺

🚭 October is Stoptober - your chance to take control of your health and quit smoking for good 💪🔥

Whether you've quit, started again, or switched to va**ng, it’s vital to let your doctor know. Why? Because smoking directly affects the treatment and management of long-term conditions like:
❤️ Coronary heart disease (CHD)
🦵 Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
🧠 Stroke or TIA
💉 High blood pressure (hypertension)
🩸 Type 2 diabetes
🫁 COPD and asthma (in adults)
💭 History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
🚰 Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Your smoking status plays a big role in your care plan. Don’t keep it to yourself - tell your GP.

💬 Want to quit? Help is out there:
👉 Speak to your GP
👉 Call the NHS Smokefree Helpline 0300 123 1044
👉 Or visit: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/nhs-stop-smoking-services-help-you-quit/

Every day smoke-free is a win 🏆

Pharmacists do so much more than dispense medicines. They offer expert health advice, help manage long-term conditions, provide vaccinations, and guide you on safe, effective treatments. 💊

This year, let’s celebrate the vital role they play in keeping our communities healthy — often as the first point of care.
