Bank holidays can mean longer waiting times and different opening hours for GP surgeries and pharmacies. Taking a few minutes to check your medication now can help ensure you have everything you need before the long weekend.

✔️ Check your repeat medicines.
✔️ Order early if you're running low.
✔️ Collect before the bank holiday.

Are you starting university this year? Make sure to book your two-dose MenB vaccine before moving into your accommodation.

Students in their first year of university have a risk that is about 7 times higher than that of young people of a similar age who do not go to university.

The bacteria that causes MenB disease can be spread through close contact with an infected person. This can be through kissing, sharing drinks, or prolonged close contact with the person for long periods of time, such as living in the same home.

The vaccine is available to:
💚 people born between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2008
💚 people born on or after 21 July 2001 and starting university for the first time this autumn
💚 people born on or after 21 July 2001 who are starting in some residential further education colleges for the first time this autumn

A MenB vaccine can be booked now via the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/book-a-menb-vaccination-appointment/

Some medications can change how your body responds to heat and sun exposure. 🌞

Certain medications can affect how your body regulates temperature, controls blood flow, sweats, and stays hydrated. This can make it harder to cope with hot weather and increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or, in severe cases, heatstroke. Other medications might make your skin more sensitive to the sun, meaning you need greater protection.

If you're taking regular medication, it's worth checking whether heat or sun exposure may affect you.

Continue taking your medication as prescribed, unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional. Speak to your pharmacist or healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Men’s Health Week 💙

A reminder that looking after your health doesn’t have to wait until something feels serious.

Blood pressure checks, smoking support, medication advice and mental health conversations can all be good places to start.

If you’ve noticed something unusual, don’t ignore it. Whether it’s chest discomfort, breathlessness, changes in mood, ongoing tiredness or anything that doesn’t feel right, speak to someone.
