Timely advice ahead of the forecast for this weekend.

☀️ When the sun shines it’s important to put your sunscreen on to protect your skin!

Everyone of all ages should take care in the sun, especially if you:

have pale, white or light brown skin
have freckles, red or fair hair
tend to burn rather than tan
have many moles
have skin problems relating to a medical condition
are only exposed to intense sun occasionally (for example, while on holiday)
have a family history of skin cancer

People who spend a lot of time in the sun, whether it's for work or play, are at increased risk of skin cancer if they do not take the right precautions.

It's easy for cervical screening to fall to the bottom of your to-do list, but it only takes a few minutes and there are some simple ways to help put you at ease.

Cervical screening can help stop cancer before it starts by screening for high-risk HPV types that can cause cervical cell changes - if these types of HPV are not found, no further tests are needed.

📢 Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) – Who Can Get It on the NHS?
We've had many questions about Mounjaro®, the weight loss injection. Here's what you need to know:
Mounjaro® is currently only available on the NHS under strict criteria:
Patients need to have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40 and at least four of the following five weight-related conditions:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- Abnormal blood fats (dyslipidaemia)
Patients must also agree to take part in additional lifestyle support as part of the treatment.
If you don’t meet the new NHS rules, you won’t be able to get Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) through the NHS.

We are working with Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly ICB, to agree how to manage the implementation of this service in our area. PLEASE DON'T CONTACT YOUR GP PRACTICE, as we won’t be able to help until we have more information.

🏃‍♀️ Other support is available if you do not qualify for Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) on the NHS. If you're looking for help managing your weight, check out:

Thank you for helping us keep our lines clear for those who need medical care. 💙
