๐Ÿ˜Š International Day of Happiness ๐Ÿ˜Š
Happiness and wellbeing are important for both your mental and physical health. Small everyday actions can boost mood and resilience.

๐Ÿ’› Ways to support your wellbeing:
โ€ข Stay connected โ€“ keep in touch with friends and family
โ€ข Be active โ€“ exercise releases feel-good chemicals
โ€ข Mind your mind โ€“ try mindfulness, meditation, or journaling
โ€ข Sleep well โ€“ good sleep supports emotional health
โ€ข Seek support โ€“ talking to a GP, counsellor, or mental health service can help if youโ€™re struggling.

๐Ÿ“Œ Need extra support?
We have 2 PCN mental health practitioners that work with us here, if youโ€™d like an appointment with one of them, please contact the surgery to book.

๐Ÿ“Œ When to speak to your GP:
โ€ข If you feel low, anxious, or stressed for more than a couple of weeks
โ€ข If it affects your daily life, work, or relationships
โ€ข If you need support managing long-term conditions that impact your mood

Small steps each day can improve happiness and wellbeing โ€” and you donโ€™t have to do it alone.

๐Ÿฆท World Oral Health Day ๐Ÿฆท
Healthy teeth and gums are vital for overall health, not just your smile! Regular care can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other health issues.

โ€ข Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
โ€ข Floss or use interdental brushes daily to clean between teeth.
โ€ข Diet affects oral health, limit sugary foods and drinks.
โ€ข Poor oral health is linked to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

๐Ÿ“Œ When to speak to your dentist or GP:
โ€ข If you experience bleeding gums, tooth pain, or loose teeth.
โ€ข If you notice persistent mouth ulcers or lumps.
โ€ข If you have bad breath that doesnโ€™t improve with brushing.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips for healthy teeth and gums:
โ€ข Replace your toothbrush every 3 months.
โ€ข Attend regular dental check-ups.
โ€ข Avoid smoking and limit alcohol.
โ€ข Drink plenty of water.

Taking care of your mouth is an important part of your overall health.

Meningitis is a serious infection that affects the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord.
Anyone can get it, but itโ€™s most common in babies, young children, teenagers, and young adults.
It can become life-threatening very quickly and may lead to sepsis or long-term damage to the brain and nerves if not treated fast. Vaccinations are available and can help protect against some types of meningitis.
