💜 Menopause Myth of the Day 💜

"It's just part of getting older—I just have to put up with it."

Nope. ❌

While menopause is a natural stage of life, struggling through it isn't something you have to accept.

Whether it's hot flushes, poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog, vaginal dryness or aching joints, there are lots of ways to help—from lifestyle changes and non-hormonal options to HRT.

You deserve to know what your options are.

As a pharmacist, one of the things I love most is helping women understand that they don't have to "just get on with it."

✨ Menopause is natural.
✨ Suffering in silence isn't.

What's one menopause symptom you wish people talked about more? Let me know in the comments. 💜

Meet Our Mascot - Uno the Sheep 🐏

Every organisation has a beginning. For OneMedical Group, that beginning was at Bank Top Farm, the family farm of founders Mike and his daughter, Rachel. It was there, in a converted barn surrounded by grazing sheep, that the business took shape.

That's why we've chosen Uno the sheep as our company mascot.

Sheep are rarely found alone, thriving as part of a flock, where protection, trust and collective strength are at the heart of everything they do. We see OneMedical Group in much the same way. Every colleague brings their own skills, experience and perspective, but we are united by a shared purpose: delivering excellent NHS healthcare and innovative property solutions to help build a healthier future for all.

Men’s Health Week is a reminder to slow down and check in with yourself.💙

Many men find it hard to speak up about their physical or mental health. Sometimes it feels easier to stay quiet or push through.
In this video our Wellbeing Advisor, Andy Bone, talks about the everyday lifestyle factors that support better health, from movement and sleep to stress and nutrition, and why reaching out early can make a real difference.

This week is about starting conversations and making space for men to feel supported. Your health matters and help is always here.🗣️
