Impetigo is a common and highly contagious skin infection that mainly affects babies and young children 👶💙

It usually starts with red sores or blisters that burst and leave crusty golden-brown patches on the skin. While impetigo is not usually serious, it can spread easily through close contact, towels, bedding and shared items ⚠️

If you think your child may have impetigo, help is available through the NHS Pharmacy First service. A pharmacist can assess symptoms and, where appropriate, provide treatment without the need for a GP appointment 💊

Signs of impetigo can include:
🔹 Red sores or blisters
🔹 Itchy patches of skin
🔹 Honey-coloured crusts forming over sores
🔹 Sores commonly around the nose, mouth, hands or body

To help prevent the spread:
🧼 Wash hands regularly
🧼 Avoid sharing towels, bedding or clothing
🧼 Keep affected areas clean
🧼 Follow treatment advice from your pharmacist

If you receive an NHS screening invitation, don't ignore it – book it 💙📩

NHS screening programmes are designed to identify potential health problems before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance of receiving treatment early if needed 🩺

Screening is offered to different groups of people at different stages of life and can help detect conditions such as certain cancers, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other health concerns before they become more serious ⚠️

Most screening tests are quick, simple and free through the NHS 👍

Even if you feel well, it's important to attend when invited. Screening can provide reassurance or help identify problems early, when treatment is often more effective 💙

If you've received a screening invitation, take a few moments to book your appointment. It could make a significant difference to your health and wellbeing 🌟

Wondering when your baby might arrive? 👶💙

The NHS Due Date Calculator can give you an estimated due date based on the first day of your last menstrual period 📅

While only a small number of babies arrive exactly on their due date, knowing your estimated due date can help you plan for appointments, prepare for your baby's arrival and understand your pregnancy timeline better 👍

Your due date may be adjusted later based on your dating scan, which usually takes place between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy 🩺

Remember, every pregnancy is different and babies can arrive before or after their estimated due date 💫

If you think you may be pregnant or have questions about your pregnancy, speak to your midwife, GP or maternity team for support 💙

As temperatures rise, it's important to know the signs of hyperthermia and heat-related illness ☀️💙

Hyperthermia happens when your body becomes too hot and struggles to cool itself down. If left untreated, it can become serious and may require medical attention ⚠️

Signs to watch for include:
• Dizziness or feeling light-headed 😵
• Muscle cramps 💪
• Swollen feet or ankles 👣
• Feeling sick, weak or unusually tired 🤒
• A rapid pulse or fast heartbeat ❤️

You can help reduce your risk by:
• Drinking plenty of water throughout the day 💧
• Staying in the shade where possible 🌳
• Avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day ☀️
• Wearing loose, light-coloured clothing 👕
• Checking on older relatives, neighbours and vulnerable people 👥

Babies, young children, older adults and people with long-term health conditions can be particularly vulnerable during hot weather 🌡️

If symptoms become severe, worsen, or do not improve, seek medical advice promptly 🩺💙
