Gardening can do more for your health than you might think 🌱

Stress isn’t a weakness - it’s part of life. We should not be afraid or
embarrassed to talk about it.

Whether it’s work, family, or just life piling up, talking helps. This Men’s Health Week, check in with a mate.

Repeat prescriptions? Only order what you need.

Did you know that approximately 1.6 million medicine items are wasted unnecessarily in Dorset each year? We need your help to reduce this.
Check what medicines you have at home before you order your repeat prescriptions. If you have enough, only request the medicines you need this time. You will still be able to order your medicine again in the future.
