The NHS has launched a new online self-assessment tool for women who experience a bleed or spotting they’ve been through the menopause and who are not on HRT.

It’s for women in Bury, Salford, Oldham, Heywood, Middleton, and Rochdale.

Any bleeding from your va**na after the menopause (when your periods have been stopped for 12 months or more) should be checked out to rule out possible womb cancer. You can now do this without booking an appointment with a GP.

Simply answer a few questions on the online self-assessment tool to request a hospital appointment

Don’t "strain" your eyes trying to see the solar eclipse... 🍲👀
If you don’t have eclipse glasses, a kitchen colander can be used to safely project the eclipse onto a surface.
