If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it.

It’s normal to feel unsure or worried about what a symptom might mean—but getting it checked is always the right step.

You’re not wasting anyone’s time. You know your body best.

A quick conversation could give you reassurance, or help you get the right care sooner.

📞 If you’re worried, contact your GP practice.

🗨️Booking a smear test? I doubt I’m eligible.💬

It’s a common thought, but many people who are eligible for cervical screening don’t realise they are.

If you have a cervix and are aged 25–64, you will be invited for cervical screening through your GP. This includes people who identify as trans or non-binary, and people who may not currently be sexually active.

Cervical screening is not a test for cancer, it helps prevent it by detecting abnormal cells early.

If you’ve received your invite, please book your appointment. Removing the doubt could protect your health.

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be easy to miss because they’re often the same as everyday conditions.

That’s why it’s important to know what to look out for – and to trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel quite right.

Common symptoms include:
🔹Persistent bloating or a swollen tummy
🔹Pain or discomfort in your tummy or pelvis
🔹Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite
🔹Needing to p*e more often or urgently

You might also notice changes such as ongoing tiredness, changes to your bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss.

Most of the time, these symptoms will not be caused by cancer. But if they are new for you, happen frequently (around 12 times a month), or don’t go away, it’s important to speak to your GP.

Getting checked early can help give you peace of mind or get you the support you need sooner.

You’re not wasting anyone’s time – you know your body best. 💛

In just 30 seconds, you can check your risk and find out what to do next.

If you’re over 50, Black, or have a family history of prostate cancer, your risk may be higher.

When it comes to your skin, changes can be easy to miss.

That’s why it’s important to check your skin regularly and get to know what’s normal for you.

Look out for:
➡️A new mole or mark
➡️Changes in size, shape or colour
➡️Anything that looks different from the rest
➡️A spot that doesn’t heal, itches, bleeds or feels unusual

Most changes to your skin will not be cancer. But if something doesn’t look right or is changing over time, it’s important to get it checked by your GP.

Early detection makes treatment more straightforward, and can save lives.
Take a moment to check your skin today. It could make all the difference. ☀️

If you’re registered with a GP, you may be invited when the programme is in your area. When you get your invite, it’s important to attend.

It could make all the difference.
