Mental Health effects all of us, taking care of it is important in regard to how we function in day-to-day life. Some of us may have bad days and move through them, for others those days all roll into one.

We can all experience bereavement, relationship breakdowns, financial difficulties, job losses etc that can impact our mental wellbeing.

If you feel you are struggling with your mental wellbeing there are a range of services your Social Prescriber can connect you with. For example, Talking Therapies, or the Changes Support Groups.

If you need a supportive ear, speak with any member of staff at your GP practice and request a referral to your Social Prescriber.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨
