❤️ Reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke
💊 Work with your healthcare professional if treatment is needed

Your blood pressure is a number worth knowing. ❤️

The free kits can be used at home, making it easier for more women to complete potentially lifesaving checks to help prevent cervical cancer.

Eligible women will start receiving invitations today, so check your phone, your email or your post to see if you qualify.

If you're invited, you'll be able to order a free kit through the NHS App or your NHS online account, and get back on track with protecting yourself against cervical cancer.

NEW EPISODE 🎙️

In today's deeply personal episode of Peterloo's Daily Dose, Jess is joined by her sister, Leanne, who shares her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 33 years old.

Leanne speaks openly about fighting to have the treatment she believed was right for her, undergoing a double mastectomy, lymph node removal, six months of chemotherapy, five weeks of daily radiotherapy, and the reality of living with ten years of hormone treatment and medically induced menopause because her cancer was oestrogen receptor-positive.

Together, Jess and Leanne reflect on how cancer affects an entire family—how Leanne protected her young children through treatment, and what it was like for loved ones watching from the outside.

It's an honest conversation about resilience, fear, advocacy, and life beyond diagnosis.
