Raising awareness is important, but meaningful change happens when we turn that awareness into everyday actions.

Too many women still die from preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Skilled care before, during, and after birth can save lives β€” and midwives are best placed to provide it.

πŸ“Š Achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered interventions by 2035 could avert 67% of these deaths.
⚠️ But the world is short of one million midwives.

Urgent action is needed to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce.

Having a personalised asthma action plan can help you stay in control of your symptoms and know exactly what to do if they change. It is a written plan agreed with your healthcare professional that explains your daily treatment, how to recognise worsening symptoms and what steps to take in an emergency.

β€’ Understand your triggers and how to avoid them 🌿⚠️
β€’ Take the right medication at the right time πŸ’ŠπŸ©Ί
β€’ Spot early warning signs of an asthma attack πŸ‘€πŸ’¨
β€’ Know when to seek urgent medical help πŸš‘β±οΈ

Keeping your plan up to date and easy to access can give you confidence and help prevent serious asthma attacks. πŸ’™πŸ«βœ¨

Knowing the signs of a stroke and acting quickly can save lives and reduce long-term disability. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and urgent treatment is essential.

Remember the FAST signs:
β€’ Face drooping on one side 😟
β€’ Arm weakness or numbness πŸ’ͺ⚠️
β€’ Speech difficulty or slurred speech πŸ—£οΈβ—
β€’ Time to call 999 immediately β±οΈπŸš‘

Recovery doesn’t stop after hospital care. Ongoing support, rehabilitation and connecting with others can make a big difference to rebuilding confidence and independence after a stroke. Peer support groups and specialist organisations can provide advice, encouragement and a sense of community for both patients and carers. πŸ’™πŸ§ βœ¨

Allergies are common and can range from mild to severe. They happen when the body reacts to something harmless like pollen, food, dust or animal fur. Symptoms can vary depending on the trigger and the person.

Common allergy symptoms include:
β€’ Sneezing, runny or blocked nose 🀧✨
β€’ Itchy eyes, skin or throat πŸ‘€πŸ’™
β€’ Rashes, hives or swelling 🌿⚠️
β€’ Breathing difficulties or wheezing πŸ«πŸ’¨

Most allergies can be managed, but some reactions can be serious. Call 999 immediately if someone has signs of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, feeling faint or collapsing. πŸš‘βš οΈ

Understanding triggers, knowing the difference between allergies and intolerances, and taking early action can help keep you and your family safe. πŸ’™βœ¨

Childhood vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children from serious diseases.

Vaccines help the immune system recognise and fight infections like measles, meningitis and whooping cough before they can cause harm. By keeping up to date with vaccinations, you are not only protecting your child but also helping protect vulnerable people in the wider community.

Without vaccination, children are at higher risk of serious illness, complications, hospitalisation and, in some cases, long-term health problems. Outbreaks of preventable diseases can spread more easily when vaccination rates drop.

Benefits of childhood vaccinations include:
β€’ Protection against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases πŸ’‰πŸ›‘οΈ
β€’ Reduced spread of infections in schools and communities πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦βœ¨
β€’ Long-term protection and peace of mind πŸ’™πŸŒΏ
β€’ Helping protect those who cannot be vaccinated βš οΈπŸ’›

Keeping vaccinations up to date is a simple step that can make a lifelong difference. πŸ’™βœ¨

MS Awareness Week is a chance to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and support those living with the condition.

MS affects the brain and spinal cord and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, vision problems, numbness, muscle stiffness and difficulties with balance or coordination. Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, which is why understanding and awareness are so important.

There are still many myths about MS, which can lead to misunderstanding and stigma. Learning the facts can help people feel more supported and informed, whether you are living with MS or supporting someone who is. πŸ’™πŸ§ βœ¨
