🚨 We are testing a new way of getting an appointment at a breast clinic without having to go to a GP surgery first.

Who can use this service
This service is currently only for women who:

➡️ live in Somerset
➡️ are aged 30 or over
➡️ have painless breast lumps
➡️ are worried about skin or ni**le changes
➡️ are not pregnant
Everyone else with breast or ni**le problems, or any other symptoms, should use the main 111 online service instead.

If your GP has already referred you to a breast clinic you do not need to use this service.

Answer some questions about your symptoms to find out if you need a breast clinic referral or help from another service. 🔗 Check if you're eligible and refer yourself here:

World Osteoporosis Day, 20th October

Osteoporosis affects over 500 million people worldwide yet it remains severely underdiagnosed and undertreated – especially among those who have already sustained fragility fractures. Now is the time to ‘Take Action on Bones’. Look out for the signs, and if you’re concerned, do ask your doctor. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporosis/

If you have osteoporosis, treatments can include medication to strengthen your bones. You can also help to manage your condition with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, including weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening activities, along with a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D or supplements, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporosis/treatment/

Treating osteoporosis involves treating and preventing fractures and using medication to strengthen bones.
