For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Lung cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, which means three-quarters of patients are diagnosed too late.

The Lung Cancer Screening Programme helps detect problems earlier, before symptoms appear.

You may be eligible if you are:
• Aged 55 to 74
• A current or former smoker
• Registered with a Southampton or Totton GP

📞 023 8120 8883
📧 LCSops@uhs.nhs.uk

Clive joined the Lung Cancer Screening Programme for a routine follow-up scan. The scan revealed cancer in his lung, caught at an early stage.

“If you get the offer to take part, don’t ignore it. It could save your life,” says Clive.

📢 Important information

As you will be aware from our appeals for your help and support, our Emergency Department (ED) is regularly under significant pressure.

In a bid to tackle this and enable us to prioritise emergency care for patients with a life-threatening condition, we have introduced a new system to assess and focus on the most urgent cases.

If you come to our ED you will be triaged by our clinical team. If we don’t believe your condition to be an emergency you will be offered an appointment to return and be seen at a later time or date and asked to leave our department.

This is a trial initiative which is already being run successfully at other large NHS hospitals like UHS.

Thank you for your support and helping us to improve the experience of all our patients, enabling us to give care first to those who need it most urgently.
