UV levels are going to be high across this bank holiday weekend 🌞

Try and stay out of direct sunshine, especially between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are
strongest during these hours.

Use sun cream of at least SPF 30 if you are planning on being out and about and try to walk in the shade, wear a hat, sunglasses, and light, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothes.

📢 World Pre-Eclampsia Day – 22 May 2026 💜

Today we are raising awareness for World Pre-Eclampsia Day, a global campaign dedicated to improving understanding of pre-eclampsia and supporting safer pregnancies for everyone.

Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition that can develop during pregnancy, usually after 20 weeks. It can affect both mother and baby if not recognised and treated early. Symptoms may include:
▪️ High blood pressure
▪️ Severe headaches
▪️ Swelling of the face, hands, or feet
▪️ Changes in vision
▪️ Pain below the ribs
▪️ Reduced baby movements

If you are pregnant and experience any of these symptoms, please contact your midwife, maternity unit, or GP surgery promptly.

Regular antenatal appointments are important to help detect signs early and keep you and your baby safe.
