Alzheimer’s disease affects many patients and families across the UK. It’s important to be aware of the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s, so that you can get the correct care for yourself or family members who may show symptoms. Symptoms can include: forgetting events or conversations, getting lost in familiar places or on a familiar journey, forgetting appointments or specific dates and becoming increasingly disorganised. If you’re worried that you or someone you care about may be suffering with these symptoms, you should get in touch with your GP practice as soon as possible.

Alzheimer’s disease affects everyone differently. However, it has some common early symptoms, including memory problems, thinking and reasoning difficulties, language problems and changes in mood. These symptoms get worse over time.

This year’s Migraine Awareness Week is about providing better care for the 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 10 children who suffer with migraines. It aims to stop migraines being considered as ‘just a headache’, and focuses more on the impacts that living with a migraine can actually have on a person's life. You can help by joining in on social media, fundraising and getting involved in your local community. To find out more about how to get involved, please follow the link below.

People with migraine deserve better. Join us to call for action (24-30 September)

Sepsis can be fatal, and it’s important to know the signs and symptoms. In adults and older children, the symptoms can be concerning. Symptoms can include: confusion and slurred speech, blue or grey blotchy skin, a rash that doesn’t fade when you roll a glass over it, and irregular breathing or shortness of breath. The symptoms can be signs of the fatal reaction and it’s important to call either 999 or 111 if you have any suspicions of sepsis.

NHS information about the symptoms of sepsis in children and adults, and where and when to get help.

Slips, trips and falls can become more common as you get older, and can be worrying. Most falls aren’t serious, but some can lead to broken bones and can really knock your confidence. If you have a fall, you should try to keep calm, and if you’re not hurt then you can try to slowly get up. You can roll onto your hands and knees and look for a stable piece of furniture like a table or chair. If you’re unable to get up and you’re by yourself, then you should try to get someone’s attention by shouting or banging on a wall, or, if you have one, using your personal alarm. Once you’re up, you should try to find a blanket or something warm to make sure you don’t get chilly, and to try to make yourself comfortable. If you’re falling regularly, then you might want to get a personal alarm system, or make sure you have a mobile phone in your pocket at all times. To find out more information about how to deal with a slip, trip or fall, you can see the NHS website.

Anyone can have a fall, but older people are more vulnerable and likely to fall, especially if they have a long-term health condition.

If you have a disability that isn’t visible, you might sometimes struggle with feeling misunderstood, or you may feel like people are being impatient with you.

A JAM card is a ‘just a minute card’ to tell people in a discreet and private way that you just need some extra time and understanding.
