Check. Notice. Act.
Early detection saves lives. Women in England diagnosed with breast cancer at the earliest stage are very likely to survive 5+ years after diagnosis.

Do your self-check: look, feel, notice changes.
If something feels different, speak to your GP.

Today is World Pharmacist Day!
Pharmacists play a vital role in supporting our health and wellbeing every day. Through the Pharmacy First service, pharmacists can now treat a range of common conditions including:
• Acute otitis media
• Impetigo
• Infected insect bites
• Shingles
• Sinusitis
• Sore throats
• Uncomplicated urinary tract infections
This service not only provides patients with timely access to treatment, but also helps reduce waiting times across the healthcare system.
On this World Pharmacist Day, we extend our thanks to all pharmacists for their expertise, commitment, and care.

We check our mirrors, emails, and phones every day — but how often do we check in with our own bodies?
Gynaecological cancers can be silent at first. Symptoms like bloating, unusual bleeding, changes in discharge, or persistent pain are easy to dismiss — but they matter.
Your body knows when something isn’t right. If you notice changes that don’t go away, don’t ignore them. Speak to your GP.
Early awareness saves lives. Share this message and help protect women’s health.
