Not sure where to go when you need urgent medical care? An Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) could be the right place. ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ’™

Urgent Treatment Centres provide medical care for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. They can help you get the right treatment without visiting A&E. ๐Ÿ‘

You may be able to visit an Urgent Treatment Centre for:
๐Ÿฉน Minor burns and scalds
๐Ÿค• Sprains and strains
๐Ÿฆด Minor broken bones and fractures
โœ‚๏ธ Cuts and wounds that may need stitches
๐ŸŒก๏ธ Minor infections and illnesses
๐Ÿœ Insect bites and stings
๐Ÿ‘‚ Ear and throat infections
๐Ÿค’ Fever or minor head injuries

Always call 999 or go to A&E if someone has a life-threatening emergency, such as:
๐Ÿšจ Chest pain or suspected heart attack
๐Ÿšจ Signs of a stroke
๐Ÿšจ Severe breathing difficulties
๐Ÿšจ Serious injuries or heavy bleeding
๐Ÿšจ Loss of consciousness

If you're unsure where to go, NHS 111 can help you find the right service for your needs. ๐Ÿ“ž

Getting the right care in the right place helps NHS services care for everyone more efficiently. ๐Ÿ’™

Staying active as you get older can help you maintain your independence, improve your balance, strengthen your muscles and bones, reduce your risk of falls, and boost your mental wellbeing. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ

The NHS recommends that older adults should:
โ€ข Aim to be physically active every day.
โ€ข Do activities that improve strength at least twice a week.
โ€ข Include exercises that improve balance and flexibility, especially if you're at risk of falling.
โ€ข Reduce the amount of time spent sitting by getting up and moving regularly. ๐Ÿ’ช

You don't have to join a gym to stay active. Walking, gardening, dancing, swimming, gentle exercise classes or even doing household chores all count towards a healthier lifestyle. ๐ŸŒผ

Small changes can make a big difference to your health, confidence and quality of life. Why not start today? โค๏ธ

๐Ÿคฑ Contraception while breastfeeding

If youโ€™re breastfeeding and thinking about contraception, there are long-acting options available to you.

Coils and implants provide reliable contraception without needing to remember something every day. One less thing to think about while you focus on yourself and your baby. ๐Ÿ’›

Your contraception is a personal choice. Speak to your midwife, GP or local sexual health service to explore what could work for you.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK, but when it's found early, it's much easier to treat. That's why the NHS offers bowel cancer screening to people who are eligible. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

The screening test is simple, quick and can be done in the privacy of your own home. It looks for tiny amounts of blood in your poo that you may not be able to see yourself. ๐Ÿ 

If you receive your bowel cancer screening kit through the post, don't put it to one side โ€“ complete it and return it as soon as you can. Even if you feel fit and healthy and have no symptoms, taking part in screening can help detect problems early. โœ…

If you notice symptoms such as blood in your poo, a persistent change in your bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or ongoing tummy pain, don't wait for your screening invitationโ€”contact your GP. ๐Ÿ“ž

Taking a few minutes to complete your test could make all the difference. ๐Ÿ’™
