Protecting you also protects your baby 💙

Vaccinations during pregnancy help reduce the risk of serious illness for both mum and baby, while passing on important immunity during those first vulnerable months.

🤰 Recommended vaccines during pregnancy:
✔️ RSV vaccine (from 28 weeks)
✔️ Whooping cough vaccine (from 16 weeks, ideally after 20 weeks)
✔️ Flu vaccine (at any stage of pregnancy)

These vaccines are safe, effective, and can help prevent severe complications in newborns and pregnant women. Speak to your midwife, GP, or pharmacist for advice and support.

Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week is from 25-31 May. NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme has prevented thousands of new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes in England, saving people from potentially serious ill health. The programme helps people reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, through managing their weight, eating more healthily and being more physically active. GPs and their teams can refer individuals aged 18 or over, who have ‘non-diabetic hyperglycaemia’ (NDH).

May Is Melanoma Awareness Month: Why Sun Awareness Matters

May marks Melanoma Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about melanoma and the importance of protecting our skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Melanoma is one of the most serious forms of skin cancer, but when detected early, it is highly treatable.

As the days become longer and warmer, many people spend more time outdoors. While sunshine can boost mood and support vitamin D production, too much UV exposure can damage the skin and significantly increase the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers. Sun damage can happen even on cloudy days, making daily protection essential throughout the year.


Simple sun safety habits can make a major difference. Health experts recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30-50, wearing protective clothing and sunglasses, and seeking shade during peak sunlight hours between 11am and 3pm. Avoiding sunbeds is also important, as artificial UV radiation can be just as harmful as direct sunlight.


Regular skin checks are another key part of early detection. Changes in moles — including size, shape, colour, or texture — should never be ignored. The “ABCDE” guide published by the British Association of Dermatologists can help identify warning signs of melanoma: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter, and Evolving appearance.


By practising good sun awareness and encouraging others to do the same, we can help reduce the risk of skin cancer and promote healthier habits for the future.
