Did you know that this week is International Brain Tumour awareness week? 🧠

A brain tumour is a collection of abnormal cells in your brain. The tumour may originate in the brain (primary) or may be “metastatic” (from a cancer elsewhere in the body). A brain tumour may be non-malignant (not cancerous), however the location of the tumour can have devastating consequences.

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Too much sugar in your baby’s food and drink can really take its toll on their tiny teeth.

👶 Avoid adding sugar to meals or drinks to help protect their smile from the start. Healthy habits now = healthy teeth later!

🧠 For more NHS tips on caring for little teeth, visit:

Help your little one maintain a lifetime of healthy smiles by teaching them good dental habits, such as regular brushing and not eating or drinking too much sugar.
