This week is Men's Health Week.

1 in 3 men in England aren’t active enough, increasing their risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. It also affects how you feel day to day.

Regular movement supports energy, mood, and even testosterone levels, helping you feel more like yourself.

LiveWell Dorset can help you become more active: https://www.livewelldorset.co.uk/get-active/

💜 It’s Carers Week! 💜

Carers Week is a UK campaign raising awareness of the vital role unpaid carers play and the challenges they can face. It’s a time to recognise the impact caring can have on health, wellbeing, work and everyday life, and to remind carers that they are not alone.

At Help & Care, we’re proud to support carers every day. We offer information, guidance, emotional support and practical help to make caring a little easier and to help carers look after their own wellbeing as well as the people they care for. 💛

If you are a carer, or know someone who is, Help & Care is here for you. Please get in touch with us to find out what support is available — you don’t have to manage everything on your own.

Thank you to all the carers we support. This week, and every week, we recognise your strength, compassion and dedication. 🌟

Blood in your urine is the most common sign of bladder cancer.

You might notice blood in your urine just once, or many times. It could be a tiny spot, a few streaks, or it might change the colour of your urine completely.

However it appears, blood in your urine isn’t normal and should always be checked by your GP.

Today we celebrate the compassion, dedication, and resilience of our incredible nurses. Your care makes a difference every single day.

From supporting patients through challenging times to keeping our services running smoothly, your impact is felt across every part of our community.
