🧠 National Schizophrenia Awareness Day 🧠
Today, we join the nationwide effort to shine a light on the challenges faced by the hundreds of thousands of people living with schizophrenia in the UK and millions more worldwide. Hosted by Rethink Mental Illness, this day aims to break down the stigma and discrimination surrounding this often misunderstood condition.

Understanding Schizophrenia:
-Schizophrenia is a mental illness affecting the way you think, feel, and behave.
-It does not mean having a "split personality," nor does it prevent someone from leading a fulfilling life.
-With the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.

How You Can Help:
-Educate Yourself: Learn about schizophrenia to dispel common myths.
-Support Others: Offer understanding and compassion to those affected.
-Spread Awareness: Share accurate information to help reduce stigma.

For more information and resources, visit: https://www.rethink.org/
Let's work together to foster a more informed and compassionate community.

❤️‍🩹 Take Control of Your Blood Pressure! ❤️‍🩹
Did you know the NHS online blood pressure tool can help you understand your readings and give tips on managing your blood pressure?
Check it out here:
🔗 www.nhs.uk/conditions/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/

We recommend home blood pressure readings over a period of 7 days for the most accurate results, as blood pressure can rise during visits to the surgery. If you don’t have a monitor, don’t worry – you can borrow one from us! Simply ask at reception, and we can lend you a device to take home.
Once you’ve recorded your readings, you can submit them to us either on a form available at reception or via a link we can send to you through text.

You can also have your blood pressure checked at many community pharmacies – just ask your local pharmacy team! 🏥

Taking care of your blood pressure is a vital step towards better health — we’re here to support you every step of the way!
