💙Last week, Seisdon Primary Care Network teamed up with our dermatology colleagues to hold a Skin Cancer Awareness drop-in event at Perton Library as part of Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

It was fantastic to see so many patients attend to learn more about skin cancer prevention, pick up helpful advice, and speak with healthcare professionals about protecting their skin health.

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the event such a success!

It's now easier than ever to check, record or update your organ donation decision.

Just open the NHS App...

Right now, 8,200+ people are on the transplant waiting list, the highest number on record. And 9 in 10 families say yes to donation when they know it was what their loved one wanted.

A simple tap could make all the difference.

1) Open the NHS App.
2) Tap the banner on the homepage or go to your account settings and take a minute to record your wishes.
3) Sit back and relax.

It could be the most important thing you do today.
