🌍💚 This World Mental Health Day, let's take a moment to check in with ourselves and each other.

This year's theme, "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change," reminds us how important it is to listen, talk openly, and support one another. Conversations about mental health can make a real difference, helping people feel heard, understood, and less alone.

Remember, it's okay not to be okay. Whether it's talking to a friend, family member, colleague, or healthcare professional, reaching out is a sign of strength.

💚 Be kind to yourself
💚 Check in on someone you care about
💚 Take time to prioritise your mental wellbeing

For urgent mental health support, please call 111 and select option 2.

👁️ Today is World Sight Day

Did you know that 1 in 5 children under 10 have a sight condition?

Good eyesight is important for children’s learning, development and everyday life. Many eye conditions have no obvious signs, so children may not realise they have a problem with their vision.

✅ Children should have a sight test before they start school and continue to have regular checks as they grow up.

NHS sight tests are free for children.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Did you know that breast screening is the best way to detect breast cancers early, when they are more easily treatable and before any signs or symptoms appear? So even if you feel fit and healthy, it’s really important that you still attend when invited.

Having a mammogram is nothing to worry about. It’s quick and easy and only takes 10 minutes and the friendly staff are on hand if you do have any concerns. So if you’re a woman aged between 50-71, look out for your invitation letter coming through the post (every 3 years) and please, don’t ignore it, it could save your life.

For more information visit:

If you’ve missed your appointment or need to change it for whatever reason, don’t worry, just contact your local screening centre to book another appointment at a date and time to suit you. 📞Tel: 0191 445 2554
