Did you know, cervical screening is not a test for cancer. It helps prevent cervical cancer by checking for certain types of the human papilloma virus (HPV), found in more than 99% of cervical cancers.

Even if you have had your HPV vaccine, it’s important to attend your cervical screening appointment.

Cervical Screening saves lives, together let’s eliminate cervical cancer.

There has never been a more important time to quit smoking. Even if you have tried before, don’t give up on giving up – you can do it!

The benefits to your heath, bank balance and family will make such a difference.

If you can make it to 28 days, you are five times more likely to give up for good.

Speak to your midwife about stopping smoking and the local support available to you.

For more information about stopping smoking during pregnancy, motivational information and local support have a look at our new website https://www.iamtough.co.uk/

During running, the impact of each step increases the downward force acting through your pelvic floor muscles, meaning that they must work harder to maintain your continence.

During pregnancy or in the postnatal period when the pelvic floor muscles have often become weaker or less responsive, this demand on the pelvic floor muscles can be too much, leading to leakage.

Practicing your pelvic floor muscle exercises and progressively returning to higher impact exercises may help you.

Quitting is tough, But so are you. You don’t need to use willpower alone.

Ni****ne replacement therapy (NRT) can help ease the cravings you can experience when you stop smoking. Often the best way to use ni****ne replacement therapy is to combine a longer-lasting product, like a patch, with a faster acting product such as a gum, for immediate craving relief. Your local stop smoking service or pharmacist can help you find the products that suit you – visit www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/

All women and people with a cervix between age 25 and 64 can go for regular cervical screening, no matter their s*xual orientation or gender identity.

Most cervical cell changes and cervical cancers are caused by persistent infection with HPV. As HPV can be passed on through any skin-to-skin contact in the ge***al area, anyone having any kind of s*x is at risk of getting it.

For more information speak to your GP or healthcare professional today.
