You schedule time for work, your family, your friends. You’ll dog‑sit, baby‑sit, plant‑sit… basically everyone‑sit.

You’ll make time for a friend who texts “quick call?” and it turns into 45 minutes. You’ll run around doing favours for literally everyone else.

But when it’s something for you?

Suddenly it’s: “I’ll do it later.”

This is the one thing that shouldn’t wait.

Make time for your cervical screening appointment - it’s quick, it’s important, and it could save your life.

Book your appointment when your letter arrives.

Have you been told you’re at risk of Type 2 diabetes, or made changes to help reduce your risk? 💭

NHS Wales is working on a project to help more people understand the risks and how small changes can make a big difference.

We’re looking for people willing to share their story in a simple, supportive way, to help inspire others to be able to live a healthier tomorrow. 🗣️

If that could be you, we’d love to hear from you. PHW.TacklingDiabetes@wales.nhs.uk

As the weather gets warmer it will be great to open windows and let the fresh air in. But toddlers and young children are at greatest risk of falling out and suffering serious injuries. Partly because their heads are heavy compared with their body so they can easily topple.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take much to keep them safe.

We've really enjoyed visiting a range of local communities around Newport, connecting with carers we already know and meeting some new ones!

We're still on tour until July so lots more opportunities to pop in for a drink, a nice chocolate biscuit and a chat with fellow carers who get it.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

What is RSV? 🤔

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common virus that affects the lungs and airways. Almost all adults will get RSV at some point.

For most people, symptoms are mild and can include a cough, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, and feeling tired.

However, it can be more serious for some people, particularly older adults, pregnant women, infants, and people with certain health conditions.

Symptoms can then include wheezing, shortness of breath or a fever, and can sometimes lead to pneumonia.
