Turning on NHS App notifications is a simple way to help the NHS save money while staying informed about your healthcare. πŸ’™

Notifications can remind you about appointments, test results, prescriptions and important updates, helping reduce missed appointments and unnecessary letters or texts.

Using the NHS App makes it easier to manage your health in one place, saves time for NHS services and helps resources be used where they are needed most. Making this small change can have a big impact for you and the NHS. πŸ“±

Regular exercise plays a vital role in maintaining both physical and mental health, and it does not have to mean spending hours in the gym. Being active can help reduce the risk of long-term conditions, improve mood and boost energy levels, while also supporting independence as we age.

Examples of regular exercise include:
πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ Brisk walking or cycling to improve heart health
πŸ’ͺ Strength exercises like carrying shopping or resistance training to build muscle
πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈBalance and flexibility activities such as yoga or stretching to reduce falls and stiffness
πŸ’™ Low-impact activities like swimming or chair-based exercises, especially later in life

Staying active in ways you enjoy makes it easier to keep exercise as part of everyday life.

Sinusitis can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as facial pain or pressure, a blocked or runny nose, headaches and reduced sense of smell. While many cases improve on their own, treatments like pain relief, nasal sprays, steam inhalation and self-care can help ease symptoms, and medical advice may be needed if symptoms last longer or worsen. Knowing the signs and treatment options can help you manage sinusitis more effectively and understand when to seek help. πŸ€§πŸ’§πŸ©Ίβœ¨
