To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level, it is safest not to drink more than 14 units a week.

Understanding units is key to keeping track of how much you’re drinking so get to know how many units are in your favourite drinks.

If you regularly drink as much as 14 units per week, it is best to spread your drinking over three or more days and to have several alcohol-free days.

Breast screening aims to find breast cancer at an early stage, often before there are any symptoms. Early detection may often mean simpler and more successful treatment.

A visit to a breast screening unit usually takes less than 30 minutes and the mammogram only takes a few minutes.

If you remember Scott and Charlene's Neighbours wedding, the NHS bowel cancer screening kit is especially for you.

If you're aged 50 to 74, the NHS will send you a free bowel cancer screening kit every two years. It only takes a few minutes to complete at home and could help detect bowel cancer before symptoms appear.

When your kit arrives, don't put it on the side and forget about it. Complete it and send it back. It could save your life.

Changes to sleeping arrangements can increase risk, so it’s important to plan ahead.
If you're travelling, visiting family, or staying somewhere different this summer, it’s important to remember safer sleep advice.

The safest place for your baby to sleep is in their own cot or Moses basket, in the same room as you, for the first six months. Following safer sleep guidance can help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death.

Measles is highly infectious and can be passed on even before a rash appears. The Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccination is the safest and most effective way to protect against these diseases. You need two doses of MMR to be fully protected.

• Wear a hat and sunglasses
• Seek shade during peak UV hours (11am – 3pm)
• Stay hydrated

Protect your skin and enjoy sunshine safely! ☀️
