This World Mental Health Day, remember that movement is for everybody. ๐Ÿ’š

Physical activity can be a positive way to support both physical and mental wellbeing, and being active should be accessible and enjoyable for disabled children and young people too.

There is no single right way to get moving. Activities can be adapted around individual abilities, interests and needs. This might include swimming, accessible cycling, boccia, wheelchair sports, adapted games or simply enjoying time outdoors. Small changes such as using softer or larger balls, shortening distances or reducing the length of an activity can make movement more accessible.

The most important thing is finding something that works for you or your family and that you enjoy. Being active can also provide opportunities to have fun, spend time together and connect with other people. ๐Ÿ’š

This World Mental Health Day, celebrate movement in all its forms and remember that every body can move in its own way. โ™ฟ

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ is a great opportunity to quit smoking and start feeling the benefits of a smoke-free life. ๐Ÿšญ๐Ÿ’™

Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. From the moment you stop, your body begins to recover, and over time you can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and many cancers. โค๏ธ

Quitting can be challenging, but you don't have to rely on willpower alone. There is support available to help you manage cravings, choose suitable stop-smoking treatments and find practical ways to stay on track. ๐Ÿค

Taking part in Stoptober gives you the chance to join thousands of other people making a quit attempt this October. Even if you've tried before, don't be discouraged โ€“ every quit attempt can bring you closer to stopping for good. ๐ŸŒŸ

You could also notice benefits such as breathing more easily, having more energy, improving your sense of taste and smell, and saving money. ๐Ÿ’ท

Make this October the month you take your first step towards becoming smoke-free. ๐Ÿšญ

Looking after your s*xual health is an important part of your overall wellbeing. Whether it's attending cervical screening, getting vaccinated against HPV or seeking advice when you need it, small steps can make a big difference. ๐ŸŒธ

Cervical screening (smear tests) is offered to eligible women and people with a cervix to help prevent cervical cancer. It checks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that most people will have at some point in their lives. In most cases HPV causes no problems, but some types can increase the risk of cervical cancer if left untreated. ๐Ÿฉบ

Cervical screening can detect HPV before it causes abnormal cell changes, meaning treatment can be offered early if needed. It is one of the best ways to protect yourself against cervical cancer. ๐Ÿ’œ

You can also help protect yourself by:
โœ”๏ธ Attending cervical screening when invited.
โœ”๏ธ Ensuring your children receive the HPV vaccination when offered.
โœ”๏ธ Practising safer s*x.
โœ”๏ธ Speaking to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your s*xual health.

If you receive your invitation for cervical screening, don't put it off. It could save your life. ๐Ÿ’™

Cold weather can make asthma symptoms worse, but a few simple steps can help you stay well this winter. ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Breathing in cold, dry air can narrow your airways, making it harder to breathe and increasing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness. If you have asthma, it's important to be prepared before heading outside. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿซ

Here are some tips to help protect your lungs:
โœ… Wear a scarf loosely over your nose and mouth to help warm the air you breathe.
โœ… Try breathing through your nose rather than your mouth.
โœ… Check the weather forecast before going out and limit your time outdoors during very cold weather if possible.
โœ… Dress in several thin layers to stay warm.
โœ… Continue taking your preventer inhaler exactly as prescribed, even if you're feeling well.

Know your asthma action plan and seek urgent medical help if your symptoms become severe. ๐Ÿš‘

25/09/2026

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury, especially for older adults, but many can be prevented with a few simple changes at home. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿก

One of the easiest ways to reduce your risk is by wearing the right footwear. Well-fitting slippers with a secure back and non-slip soles can help you stay steady on your feet, while worn-out, loose-fitting or backless slippers can increase the risk of slipping or tripping. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

You can also help prevent falls by:
โ€ข Wearing supportive shoes or slippers with good grip.
โ€ข Keeping floors clear of clutter and trailing cables.
โ€ข Cleaning up spills straight away.
โ€ข Making sure your home is well lit.
โ€ข Using handrails when going up or down stairs.
โ€ข Having your eyesight and hearing checked regularly.
โ€ข Staying active to improve strength, balance and mobility.

If someone does fall, stay calm and check for injuries before helping them move. If they have injured their head, neck, back or hip, or cannot get up, call 999 immediately. If they may have a less serious injury, NHS 111 can provide advice. ๐Ÿš‘โ˜Ž๏ธ
