Knowing what to expect can make all the difference. This new video walks you through the diabetic eye screening appointment step-by-step, helping you feel informed and confident ahead of your visit.

Bladder cancer is not a rare cancer, and being aware of the signs is vital for early diagnosis.

Key symptoms include blood in the urine; the persistent or recurrent need to pass urine more often or more urgently; and pelvic pain/discomfort. If you experience any of these, it's essential to seek advice from a health professional as soon as possible. If you are a GP and a patient presents with these symptoms, knowing when to act quickly is crucial.

If you have been affected by any form of cancer please do get in touch. We are here to support anyone affected by cancer including carers and family members.

Most skin cancers are caused by skin damage that happens from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or sunbeds.

All types of skin are at risk of sun damage and skin cancer.

The risk is highest if you have skin that tends to burn easily, or freckle in the sun.

If you have black or brown skin, you can get skin cancer but it is less likely. You still need to protect your skin from the sun and check for anything unusual.

It is important for everyone to follow skin protection advice and to check their skin regularly.

If you have been affected by any form of cancer please do get in touch. We are here to support anyone affected by cancer including carers and family members.
