New data shows around 1 in 4 young people leave school without protection against HPV (human papillomavirus).

Left school? You can get the HPV vaccine at your GP practice until the age of 25.

Still in school? Catch-up is offered by SAIS (school-age vaccination) teams.

🌟 What an amazing day! 🌟

Today we completed 47 health checks, and importantly, around one third of people were referred to their GP for further follow-up. This is exactly why this work matters — catching things early can truly save lives.

Taking a small amount of time to check your health can help prevent heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. Many people feel well and have no symptoms, so regular health checks are one of the most powerful ways to protect your future health.

We’re delighted to be back out in the community again and would love to see you at our next session:
📍 Rochdale Exchange – Claire’s unit
🗓 Wednesday 4th February
⏰ 10am to 2.30pm
💜 Free drop-in — no appointment needed
⏱ Health checks take just 20–30 minutes
📊 Results given straight away

Please come along, bring a friend or family member, and take this simple but important step towards looking after your heart and overall wellbeing.

Together, we can make prevention part of everyday life 💪❤️💜
