Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health and wellbeing. Even small changes can make a big difference, helping to reduce your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. 💙⚖️✨

Losing just a small amount of weight, around 5–10% of your body weight, can have significant health benefits, including improving blood pressure, cholesterol and energy levels.

Simple ways to work towards a healthier weight include:
• Eating a balanced diet and making healthier food choices 🥗🌿
• Being more active and moving regularly 🚶‍♂️💪
• Setting realistic, achievable goals 📊✨
• Making small, sustainable changes over time 💙🌱

The NHS Better Health programme offers free tools, apps and a 12-week plan to help you build healthier habits and stay on track.

If your child or young person has an earache, your local pharmacy can often help without needing a GP appointment. Through the Pharmacy First service, pharmacists can assess symptoms, give advice and provide treatment where appropriate for children aged 1 to 17. 💙👶🩺✨

Pharmacists can:
• Assess your child’s symptoms and check for signs of infection 🔍💙
• Offer advice on managing pain and symptoms at home 🌿💊
• Provide treatment, including some prescription medicines if needed 💊🩺
• Refer you to a GP or other service if symptoms need further care 🚑⚠️

Earache is a common condition in children, and many cases can be safely managed with support from your pharmacist. Getting help locally can save time and ensure your child gets the right care quickly.

Walking is one of the easiest ways to boost your health and wellbeing, and it doesn’t require any special equipment or gym membership. Even a brisk 10-minute walk a day can improve your mood, increase energy levels and support heart health. 🚶‍♀️💚✨

Regular walking can help:
• Improve heart health and reduce risk of disease ❤️🩺
• Boost mood and reduce stress and anxiety 🌿💙
• Increase energy levels and improve sleep ⚡🌙
• Support weight management and overall fitness ⚖️✨

You don’t need to do hours of exercise to see benefits. Short, regular walks all add up and count towards the recommended activity levels.

Making walking part of your daily routine, whether it’s a lunchtime walk, walking to work or getting outside with friends, can have a big impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. 💚🚶‍♂️✨

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called a “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease if left untreated. The only way to know your numbers is to get your blood pressure checked. 💙🩺✨

The good news is that checks are quick, simple and often available at your local pharmacy without needing an appointment. Many pharmacies offer free NHS blood pressure checks for people aged 40 and over, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your health.

Getting your blood pressure checked can:
• Detect problems early before symptoms appear 🔍💙
• Help prevent serious health conditions 🫀⚠️
• Give you advice on lifestyle changes if needed 🌿✨
• Support long-term heart health 📊💪

Taking a few minutes to check your blood pressure could make a life-saving difference. 💙✨

Prickly heat (heat rash) is common in warm weather and happens when sweat gets trapped under the skin. It can feel uncomfortable, but it’s usually harmless and clears up on its own.

• An itchy, prickly or stinging feeling 🤧⚡
• Mild swelling or irritation 💧✨
• Often appears on the neck, chest, back or skin folds 👕🌿

What can help:
• Keep your skin cool and avoid overheating ❄️💙
• Wear loose, breathable clothing like cotton 👕🌿

Too many women still die from preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Skilled care before, during, and after birth can save lives — and midwives are best placed to provide it.

📊 Achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered interventions by 2035 could avert 67% of these deaths.
⚠️ But the world is short of one million midwives.

Urgent action is needed to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce.
