Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers, and recognising the signs early can make a real difference to outcomes. The most common symptom is blood in your p*e, even if it only happens once or is not painful, and it should always be checked by a GP.

Other symptoms to look out for include:
β€’ Pain, burning or stinging when passing urine πŸ’§βš οΈ
β€’ Needing to p*e more often or urgently 🚽⏱️
β€’ Repeated urinary infections πŸ”πŸ©Ί
β€’ Pain in the lower tummy or back πŸ€•βœ¨
β€’ Feeling very tired or losing weight without trying πŸ’™πŸ“‰

These symptoms are often caused by other conditions, but it’s important not to ignore them. Getting checked early can lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.

Childhood vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children from serious diseases.

Vaccines help the immune system recognise and fight infections like measles, meningitis and whooping cough before they can cause harm. By keeping up to date with vaccinations, you are not only protecting your child but also helping protect vulnerable people in the wider community.

Without vaccination, children are at higher risk of serious illness, complications, hospitalisation and, in some cases, long-term health problems. Outbreaks of preventable diseases can spread more easily when vaccination rates drop.

Benefits of childhood vaccinations include:
β€’ Protection against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases πŸ’‰πŸ›‘οΈ
β€’ Reduced spread of infections in schools and communities πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦βœ¨
β€’ Long-term protection and peace of mind πŸ’™πŸŒΏ
β€’ Helping protect those who cannot be vaccinated βš οΈπŸ’›

Keeping vaccinations up to date is a simple step that can make a lifelong difference. πŸ’™βœ¨

IBS Awareness Month highlights a common condition that can have a big impact on daily life.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects the digestive system and can cause a range of ongoing symptoms that may come and go.

Common symptoms include:

β€’ Bloating and excessive wind πŸ’¨πŸ’™
β€’ Diarrhoea, constipation or a mix of both 🚽⚠️
