Walk Your Dog Month

After you get home from a long day at work, it can be a challenge to want to head back out into the cold to walk your dog, but exercise is essential for both you and your four-legged friend. https://awareness-days.co.uk/awareness-day/walk-your-dog-month/2026-01-01/

Did you know that walking your dog has positive physical and mental benefits for both you and your pooch? Pick up that lead and get walking this January. https://www.wuth.nhs.uk/news/latest-news/2025/01/how-daily-dog-walks-can-transform-live/

Those dark mornings and evenings during winter can be demotivating, but whatever the weather, your dog needs to get out and stretch his/her legs – and it’s great for your health too! Why not show us a picture of your dog out and about below?

Walk Your Dog Month takes place throughout January, an opportunity for dog owners embrace the great outdoors with their furry friends.

Tinnitus awareness, 2nd–9th February

Tinnitus is a condition that causes people to hear sounds in their ears, like ringing, buzzing or other disturbances, when there is no external sound. It can vary in levels, and can impact mood, sleep and concentration. If you think you’re suffering from tinnitus, book an appointment with one of our healthcare team.

Tinnitus makes you hear sounds inside your body; this can be a pulse, ringing, whistling, grinding or other sounds, and can cause hearing loss or increased sensitivity to noise. Living with tinnitus can be very frustrating, and draining, so it may be useful to look at some self-help tips.

Different things you can do including relaxation techniques, exercise and diet, to help improve the quality of your life with tinnitus.

🚎 | New mobile breast screening unit in Liverpool!

Liverpool City Council is proud to support the launch of a new mobile breast screening unit, helping women aged 50–70 access life‑saving screening closer to home.

The unit will operate from Goodison Park until April 2026 before moving to different areas of the city every four months.

Bringing screening directly into local neighbourhoods means more women can get checked early, when detection makes the biggest difference.
