🧠πŸ’₯ What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? Professor David Scott, Consultant Rheumatologist, explains it clearly:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune condition that primarily affects the joints - especially in the hands and feet πŸ™ŒπŸ¦Ά. It can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and fatigue, and it can deeply impact daily life πŸ˜“

But here’s the good news - with the right treatment and support, RA doesn’t have to define you. You can still work, stay active, and live well πŸ’ͺ🌈

πŸ§ πŸ’¬ This World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in on each other - a simple conversation can make a world of difference 🌍❀️

Here’s how to support someone who might be struggling:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space with no distractions - be fully present 🀝
2️⃣ Listen without interrupting and ask thoughtful questions πŸ‘‚β“
3️⃣ Ask how you can help - it might be booking a GP appointment, helping with chores, or just being there 🫢

πŸ“± Remember: social media isn’t always real.
Feeling low? It’s OK to log off. It’s OK to not be OK all the time.
Less screen time = more time to breathe, reflect, and reset πŸŒΏπŸ’š

πŸ’‘ Mental health matters every day.
Small actions = BIG impact.

🍹❌ Feeling like it’s time for a reset? Sober October is your chance to take a break from alcohol, boost your health πŸ’ͺ, sleep better 😴, save money πŸ’·, AND raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support πŸŽ—οΈπŸ’š

Whether you're doing it for your body, your mind, or someone you love - it’s the perfect excuse to say no thanks to that drink and yes to a better you 🌟🧠

βœ… Make alcohol-free days a regular thing
βœ… Know your limits
βœ… Reach out for support if you're struggling

Emergency Alerts Test – Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm

What to know:
The UK Government will be running a test of the Emergency Alerts system at 3 pm on Sunday 7 September.

Phones and tablets that are compatible will emit a loud siren-like sound and vibrate, even if on silent.

You do not need to take any action during the alert β€” it's just a test.

This system is designed to warn you of local dangers like severe weather or other emergencies.

Important advice for those at risk of coercive control or domestic abuse: If you’re caring for someone who has a concealed phone or you're in a situation where unexpected alerts could cause harm, it’s vital to be aware and prepared.

Want to opt out?
You can turn off the Emergency Alerts for your device via this official page: gov.uk/alerts/opting-out

Need support or guidance? Leeds Women’s Aid offers tailored information and help on this:
leedswomensaid.co.uk/emergency-alert-test-sunday-7-september-2025

Why it's important:
Regular testing keeps the system reliable in real emergencies, when lives may depend on it.

Stay informed, stay safe.
