💙 Cervical Cancer Prevention Week | 22–28 January 💙
This Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, we’re encouraging women and people with a cervix to attend their cervical screening appointment — it really does save lives.

🩺 Cervical screening is a free health test that can prevent up to 75% of cervical cancers and is estimated to save around 5,000 lives every year.
📅 If you’re due, phone reception to get booked in.

😬It’s completely normal to feel a little worried about cervical screening, but knowing what to expect can help. The test usually takes less than five minutes. While it may feel briefly uncomfortable, it’s an important check that could protect your health and save your life.

💚 Love Your Liver Month 💚
Did you know your liver performs over 500 vital jobs to keep you alive? That’s pretty amazing and a great reason to show it some love!
While the liver can repair itself, it can only do so up to a point. Sadly, liver disease often has no symptoms until it’s advanced, when treatment options may be limited. The good news? 9 out of 10 cases of liver disease could be prevented.

Here are some simple ways to protect your liver 👇
🥗 Focus on a balanced, healthy diet
💧 Stay well hydrated
🍷 Minimise alcohol intake
💊 Take medications only at the correct dosage
🧼 Practice good hygiene to reduce the risk of hepatitis

✅Love Your Liver Month is the perfect time to make small lifestyle changes that can have a big impact on your liver health.

😔 Blue Monday is made up, but mental health isn’t.
After a month of celebrations, indulgence, and gift-giving, returning to routine in January can feel tough. It’s common for this time of year to take a toll on our mental health.

Some people may experience symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), such as:
☹️Low mood
😴Fatigue or low energy
🍫Changes to sleep or eating patterns
During the winter months, activities that usually support mental wellbeing like exercising, spending time outdoors, and getting sunlight can feel much harder with cold weather and shorter days.

💬 You’re not alone, and support is available.
There is help, advice, and practical tips to support your mental wellbeing.

👩This ones for you ladies...
Why cervical smears matter:
✅They save lives: Cervical screening looks for abnormal cell changes in the cervix that could develop into cancer if left untreated.
✅Early action prevents cancer: Most abnormal cells can be treated long before cancer develops.
HPV detection: The test checks for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the main cause of cervical cancer.
Often no symptoms: Early cervical changes usually cause no pain or warning signs, so screening is crucial even if you feel well.
✅Quick and routine: The test only takes a few minutes and is one of the most effective cancer-prevention tools available.
