Migraine Awareness Week, 22nd - 28th September

It’s Migraine Awareness Week, and it’s an opportunity to change the perception that migraines are “just a headache”. They’re a complex neurological condition that impacts on every aspect of life, from day-to-day activities to long-term goals.

Migraine is most common among adults of working age and affects one in seven of the population. It can affect working life but this can be significantly reduced if people with migraine are supported at work. There are tips and hints for supporting those in your workplace who suffer from migraines, alongside ideas for those who are suffering.

Navigating the workplace experience with migraine can be complicated. You can find out more about managing migraine at work, as well as benefits that you may be entitled to here.

Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, 1st - 30th September

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. During the month, charities raise awareness of gynaecological cancers, which includes ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, va**nal cancer and vulvar cancer.

Each year in the UK, over 22,000 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer, and early diagnosis is key to improving outcomes.

If you’ve noticed symptoms that aren’t normal for you, it’s worth getting checked. These symptoms aren’t usually cancer but it’s important to identify any changes in your own body.

• Unusual va**nal bleeding or discharge, including any bleeding after the menopause
• Persistent bloating, feeling full more quickly or nausea
• A persistent itch, lump or changes to the vulval skin or va**na
• Unexplained lower back, abdominal or pelvic pain

You can book online, call our team or ask at reception.

The five gynaecological cancers- womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and va**nal. What they are, signs and symptoms and risk factors.

World Alzheimer’s Month, 1st - 30th September

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer with someone being diagnosed every three minutes. This September is World Alzheimer’s Month, with World Alzheimer’s Day being on 21st September to raise dementia awareness and support people affected by the disease.

As we age, it’s normal to experience some changes in our mental abilities. While these changes can be frustrating, they’re usually a natural part of getting older. Dementia, however, is different; it’s a group of symptoms caused by different diseases that damage the brain.

Early signs can be subtle but often include:

• Memory loss
• Confusion and difficulty with daily tasks
• Trouble with language and understanding
• Changes in mood, behaviour or personality

Learn how you can raise awareness here: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-involved/world-alzheimers-month

If you’ve noticed a change in yourself, or someone has mentioned that they feel you’ve shown new behaviour, it’s important to speak to a GP early.

World Alzheimer's Month takes place every September and World Alzheimer's Day is on 21 September each year. It's a global opportunity to raise dementia awareness and support people affected by the disease.
