If you receive an NHS screening invitation, don't ignore it – book it 💙📩

NHS screening programmes are designed to identify potential health problems before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance of receiving treatment early if needed 🩺

Screening is offered to different groups of people at different stages of life and can help detect conditions such as certain cancers, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other health concerns before they become more serious ⚠️

Most screening tests are quick, simple and free through the NHS 👍

Even if you feel well, it's important to attend when invited. Screening can provide reassurance or help identify problems early, when treatment is often more effective 💙

If you've received a screening invitation, take a few moments to book your appointment. It could make a significant difference to your health and wellbeing 🌟

Ever wondered how many calories your body uses just to keep you alive? 💙

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs each day to carry out basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, regulating temperature and supporting your organs 🫀🫁

Knowing your BMR can help you better understand your energy needs and can be useful if you're looking to manage your weight, improve your fitness or make healthier lifestyle choices 👍

Your BMR is influenced by factors such as:
• age
• s*x
• height and weight
• muscle mass
• overall health 🏃

While BMR is only one part of the picture, understanding it can help you make more informed decisions about your nutrition and activity levels 💪🥗

Use the Patient Info BMR Calculator to find out more about your body's energy needs 💫

Our Minor Injuries Unit has seen an increase in patients with serious sunburns in recent weeks. With another warm spell hitting the UK, it’s important to remember that UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days, increasing your risk of skin cancer. ☀️

Protect yourself by:
- Staying in the shade between 11am and 3pm
- Using SPF 30+ sunscreen (ideally SPF 50) with UVA + UVB protection
- Reapplying sunscreen every two hours, and after swimming or sweating
- Wearing protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses
- Taking extra care with children and babies

If you do get sunburnt, cool the skin with cold water, stay hydrated and use soothing aftersun products such as aloe vera.
And remember: there is no such thing as a ‘healthy’ tan (unless it comes from a bottle!) - it is a sign of skin damage.

Enjoy the sunshine safely this summer! 🕶️
