🧠💬 This World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in on each other - a simple conversation can make a world of difference 🌍❤️

Here’s how to support someone who might be struggling:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space with no distractions - be fully present 🤝
2️⃣ Listen without interrupting and ask thoughtful questions 👂❓
3️⃣ Ask how you can help - it might be booking a GP appointment, helping with chores, or just being there 🫶

📱 Remember: social media isn’t always real.
Feeling low? It’s OK to log off. It’s OK to not be OK all the time.
Less screen time = more time to breathe, reflect, and reset 🌿💚

💡 Mental health matters every day.
Small actions = BIG impact.

From 17 Sept to 18 Oct a branded, eye-catching van will visit town centres, community events and supermarkets, staffed by trained health ambassadors and volunteers offering: interactive ovarian cancer symptom checkers, on-site talks and Q&A sessions, signposting to local support groups and healthcare providers, literature from charity, Ovacome.

More than 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year, but survival rates remain stubbornly low, in part because many cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Only around one third of women diagnosed have their cancer caught at stage one or two, with over 50 per cent of cancers diagnosed at advanced stages. A woman has a 95 per cent chance of survival when diagnosed early, more than double the average ovarian cancer survival rate.

The “know your ovaries” campaign aims to transform these outcomes via awareness and education for communities most at risk.

A list of the sites the van will visit is posted here: https://www.lancashireandsouthcumbria.icb.nhs.uk/ovarian-cancer-van

ELHT Laboratory Delays

In recent weeks we have had several incidents of blood samples being rejected by the lab at the hospital marked as being too old to be tested. We would like to reassure patients that this delay has not been caused by Practice staff, but the issue lies with the hospital. This is an issue affecting all practices in the area. We appreciate it is frustrating having to attend for a second appointment due to this and we can assure you that it is just as frustrating for us to provide additional resources for the sample to be repeated. This issue has been raised with ELHT and the local ICB and we will continue to monitor the situation while we await their response. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.

🚨 When Should You Go to A&E?
Accidents and emergencies happen – but do you know when it’s really the right time to go to A&E?

Going too early or for non-urgent issues can delay care for those in serious need. On the other hand, waiting too long can put your health at risk.
