Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Bloating that won’t go away?
Feeling full quickly?
Pelvic pain?
Needing to wee more often?

If these symptoms are new, persistent, and lasting 2–3 weeks, don’t ignore them.

Most of the time it’s nothing serious — but it’s always worth checking.

📞 Contact the practice if you’re concerned.
Early diagnosis makes a difference.

This month, we’re raising awareness of brain tumors and the symptoms to look out for.

Symptoms can vary, but may include:
• Persistent or worsening headaches
• Seizures (fits)
• Changes in vision or speech
• Weakness on one side of the body
• Personality or behaviour changes

These symptoms are often caused by something less serious — but if they are new, persistent, or worsening, it’s important to get medical advice.

If you’re worried about any symptoms, please contact the practice. We’re here to help.

Early assessment matters. 💛

It’s time to talk.
We have a habit of responding 'good, how about you' when someone asks are you ok. Often not taking the time to think if that is true.
Checking in on ourselves and each other matters more than we think.
You don’t have to go through anything alone.
Let’s normalize the conversation.
