Know Your Numbers Week, 7th–13th September

Know Your Numbers! Week is the UK's biggest at-home blood pressure testing and awareness event and is run by Blood Pressure UK.

Around a third of people in the UK have high blood pressure, which can lead to serious medical problems such as heart attacks and strokes, but it has no symptoms, so the only way to know you have it is to get checked. High blood pressure can be treated with medication, and also by making healthier lifestyle choices, but this will only happen if you know your blood pressure numbers are high!

You can find out how to take your own blood pressure at home on their website: https://www.bloodpressureuk.org/you...e/how-to-measure-your-blood-pressure-at-home/, where you can also find out how to donate, volunteer or fundraise for Blood Pressure UK.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, 1st–30th September

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition affecting 70,000 people in the UK, where the lungs become scarred over time, stopping them functioning properly. Symptoms often include shortness of breath, a dry cough, fatigue and weight loss. For many people, though not all, pulmonary fibrosis may get worse over time. Find out more about the condition, diagnosis, and support for living with pulmonary fibrosis at https://actionpf.org.

Currently, pulmonary fibrosis cannot be stopped, but there are treatments to slow its progress, and to assist with breathing. During September you can help to raise funds for research into prevention, treatments and cures for this debilitating disease. Read a variety of diagnosis stories and find fundraising ideas at the awareness month website, https://everybreathcounts.co.uk.

People can get an urgent appointment by visiting NHS111 or phoning 111. You don’t need to be registered with an NHS dental practice to book an urgent appointment.

The appointments are for urgent conditions including: severe toothache, dental abscess, broken or knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, significant swelling, fractured, loose or displaced fillings causing pain, and bleeding gums requiring urgent treatment for acute conditions. Other treatments may be available at the discretion of the dentist. These treatments may require extra visits and costs.

Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, 1st–30th September

Gynaecological cancers include womb, ovarian, vulval, vaginal and cervical cancer. Great progress has been made in prevention, but there is still a long way to go. Currently:
There are more than 22,000 cases of gynaecological cancer in the UK each year
60 people are diagnosed each day
21 people die of a gynaecological cancer each day
Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month aims to improve knowledge of symptoms, raise funds for more research into prevention and cure, and ensure that more people are diagnosed early enough. You can find fundraising ideas, support and more information about treatment in the UK at https://eveappeal.org.uk.

If you have gynaecological body parts, you are at risk. Find out more about the various cancers, including risk and prevention, diagnosis and treatment at https://foundationforwomenscancer.org/gynecologic-cancers/, and if you are concerned about anything that is unusual for you, speak to a GP or nurse.

Blood Cancer Awareness Month, 1st–30th September

There are more than 100 types of blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma and Myeloma, and every year more than 40,000 people in the UK receive a diagnosis.

Blood cancer symptoms vary depending on the type of blood cancer, and not everyone will have the same symptoms. If you are worried, make an appointment to see a GP. You can see a list of the most common symptoms at https://bloodcancer.org.uk/understa...out-blood-cancer/blood-cancer-signs-symptoms/.

Blood cancers are the third biggest cancer killer in the UK, but it remains a hidden cancer, so Blood Cancer UK are asking all of us to raise awareness with family and friends and on social media.
