🚨 Amber Extreme Heat Warning – Greater Manchester 🌡️

An Amber Heat Health Alert is in place from midnight Wednesday through to Friday.
Hot weather can seriously impact your health, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, lung problems, and other illnesses.

⚠️ Those most at risk include:

Older people
Babies and young children
People with underlying health conditions

✅ The good news: many heat-related harms are preventable with simple steps — stay hydrated, keep cool, and check on vulnerable people.

🌊 Stay Safe Around Water This Summer
With warmer weather, more people are visiting open water — but this can be dangerous.

💬 Please share this with young people you know, especially teenage boys who are more likely to take risks.
Key messages:

⚠️ 202 people accidentally drowned in the UK in 2025 – don’t become a statistic.
❄️ Jumping into open water can be fatal – cold water shock kills and hidden hazards lie beneath the surface.
👥 Encouraging friends to go into the water could have devastating consequences.

🛟 Know what to do in an emergency:
If YOU get into trouble:
➡️ Float to Live – lean back, spread your arms and legs, and control your breathing.
If SOMEONE ELSE is in trouble:
➡️ Phone, Float, Throw

📞 Call 999 (Fire & Rescue inland / Coastguard at the coast)
🧘 Tell them to stay calm and float on their back
🛟 Throw something that floats to help until help arrives

💙 Help keep Greater Manchester safe this summer
Talk to young people about the dangers of open water and look out for each other.

⚠️ Measles Is NOT Just a Childhood Illness – It’s Serious ⚠️

Measles is often mistaken as a mild disease, but the reality is very different. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly through communities, especially where vaccination rates are low.

🔴 Why measles is so dangerous:
It spreads through coughing and sneezing and can linger in the air for hours
9 out of 10 unvaccinated people exposed will become infected
It can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia, brain swelling (encephalitis), hearing loss, and even death
Young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk

🛡️ The good news:
Measles is preventable. The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is safe, effective, and provides strong protection.

💙 Protect yourself and others:
Make sure you and your children are up to date with vaccinations
Be aware of symptoms: high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, followed by a rash
Stay home and seek medical advice if you suspect infection

📞 Not sure if you’re up to date?
Contact our practice to check your vaccination status or to get booked in — we’re here to help keep you and your family protected.
This isn’t just about individual health — it’s about protecting our communities, especially those who are most vulnerable.

👉 Let’s stay informed, stay protected, and take measles seriously.

🌸 New NHS Online Self‑Assessment Tool 🌸
The NHS has launched a new online self-assessment tool for women who experience a bleed or spotting they’ve been through the menopause and who are not on HRT.
📍 It's for women in Bury, Salford, Oldham, Heywood, Middleton, and Rochdale.
⚠️ Any bleeding from your va**na after the menopause (when your periods have been stopped for 12 months or more) should be checked out to rule out possible womb cancer.
💻 You can now do this without booking an appointment with a GP.
✅ Simply answer a few questions on the online self-assessment tool to request a hospital check.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week | 11–17 May 💚
This week, we join the NHS in recognising that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Mental Health Awareness Week is a chance to:
✅ Talk openly about mental wellbeing

✅ Reduce stigma

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is there — you don’t have to face things alone.
📞 Support is available:

Urgent mental health support: Call NHS 111 (24/7) to be directed to your local NHS mental health crisis line
Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7) – for anyone feeling overwhelmed or in distress
Emergency support: Call 999 or go to A&E if you or someone else is in immediate danger

Reaching out is a sign of strength. Let’s continue to look after each other and be kind to our minds. 💚
