🚭No Smoking Day - 11th March🚭

It’s never too late to benefit from stopping smoking. On average, smokers who quit in their 30s will add 10 years to their life. Even quitting at 60 will add 3 years. Being a non-smoker can also improve your chances of being more physically active and healthier as you get older.

🚗 MobilityWays Car Share App🚗

For many of our residents living in rural areas accessing the services they need can be a challenge, particularly in communities where access to public transport may be limited and walking and cycling are not a realistic option. Cornwall Council are working with communities and partners to explore new ways of increasing transport choice in rural areas.

In partnership with Mobilityways, Cornwall Rural Community Charity and local stakeholders they are undertaking the trial of a Car Share community for the West Penwith area. The project looks to increase transport options in some of our most rural communities. The trial will initially run for a period of 12 months and if successful may be rolled out in other areas.

💉🤰MATERNITY VACCINES🤰💉

There are a few vaccinations that are recommended during pregnancy to protect both you and your baby. When you are vaccinated your body produces antibodies that transfer through the placenta to your baby providing them with protection. This protection helps prevent the disease or make illness less serious.

📆Year round vaccinations:
Whooping Cough (Pertussis) - this should be offered by your midwife
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

🍁Seasonal Vaccinations:
Seasonal Influenza (Flu)

You can read more about the recommended pregnancy vaccinations at the link below:

🩼Community Loan Equipment Amnesty🩼

Cornwall Council and the local NHS are urging residents to hand back unused or unwanted care equipment this winter.

The council, working in partnership with NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, loans out essential items such as walking frames, crutches, commodes, beds, and short-term loaned wheelchairs to help people live independently at home. But many of these items are left unused or forgotten in people’s homes once they are no longer needed.

Giving back equipment helps local health and care services make the most of their resources and ensures valuable items can be reused rather than thrown away. Larger items such as beds and hoists are particularly costly to repurchase, while reusing existing equipment saves money for the taxpayer. Cornwall Council’s in-house retrieval team works with Medequip to collect, clean and refurbish items so they can safely be issued to someone else who needs them.

Each piece of equipment should have a barcode label with details of where to return it. Medequip can provide guidance on where smaller items such as crutches, walking frames, or perching stools can be taken. They can also help arrange a free collection for larger pieces of equipment.

Anyone unsure what to do can contact Medequip for advice on 01726 210477 or email cornwall@medequip-uk.com or visit Medequip's website.

💙HEART MONTH - Reducing your cholesterol❤️

We all need some cholesterol in our blood to stay healthy, but too much can lead to serious health problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

Cholesterol can clog up the arteries that carry blood around the body, making them narrower and causing blood clots. If the arteries become clogged up, the blood does not flow as easily and this can lead to a range of cardiovascular diseases.

High cholesterol is very common, but most people don't know they have it because it doesn't usually have any symptoms. There are treatments available for high cholesterol, but it's usually possible to lower cholesterol naturally with healthy lifestyle changes.

You can find out more about how to be Cholesterol Smart here: https://www.heartuk.org.uk/cholesterol-smart/cholesterol-smart-home
