💚 Small choices can make a big difference to your health 💚

Preventable health conditions are placing pressure on the NHS and widening health inequalities. Over a quarter of people now live with a long-term condition, with those in more deprived areas living shorter lives and spending fewer years in good health.

Not sure where to start? The NHS Healthy Choices Quiz is a quick and easy first step.

📝 It takes just a few minutes and looks at: Movement, Eating, Alcohol, Smoking & Va**ng, Mental health, Sleep

You’ll receive a score out of 10 and be signposted to trusted NHS advice and free digital support tools.

🐹 Plus, meet Kenny the talking hamster, helping make healthy choices fun and memorable!
