Epilepsy Week: Raise Awareness and Recognise the Symptoms 📢

This Epilepsy Week, let's come together to raise awareness and support those living with epilepsy. Understanding the symptoms is crucial for timely diagnosis and management. Be aware of the following signs:

🔹 Uncontrollable jerking and shaking, called a "fit"
🔹 Losing awareness and staring blankly into space
🔹 Becoming stiff
🔹 Strange sensations, such as a "rising" feeling in the tummy, unusual smells or tastes, and a tingling feeling in your arms or legs
🔹 Collapsing

Knowledge is power. By recognising these symptoms, we can offer better support to those affected and help them lead healthier lives. Learn more: nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/

Mental Health Awareness Week 🧠

This week, we're focusing on ways to manage stress and improve mental well-being. Here are three simple tips to help you stay balanced:

Practice Mindfulness 🧘‍♀️: Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breathing and be present in the moment. Mindfulness can reduce stress and improve your overall mood.

Stay Active 🚶‍♂️: Regular physical activity, whether it's a walk in the park or a quick workout, can significantly reduce stress levels and boost your mood.

Connect with Others 🤝: Talking to friends, family, or a healthcare professional can provide support and help you manage stress. Don’t hesitate to reach out.

Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you're feeling overwhelmed, our team is here to support you.
