🌸 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.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global health threats we face. 😷🌍
Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2025 is a reminder:
✅ Only use antibiotics when prescribed
✅ Always complete the course
✅ Never share leftover meds
Together, we can 💪

💙 Going Blue for AMR

Today, the team at Village is wearing blue to mark World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week, running from 18–24 November.

AMR happens when bacteria no longer respond to antibiotics — a growing global threat that affects us all.

⚠️ Why it matters:
When antibiotics are overused or used incorrectly, they become less effective. Without them, everyday infections could become far more difficult to treat.

💬 How you can help:
• Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional
• Never save leftover antibiotics or share them with others
• Always complete the full course, even if you start to feel better
• Wash your hands regularly and keep up to date with vaccinations

🚨 Together, we can protect today and safeguard the future

19/11/2025

This week we’re shining a light on something tiny but mighty — microbes! 🔬✨
Antimicrobial Awareness Week reminds us that every time we use antibiotics correctly, we help keep them working for the future.

💊 Use wisely. 🧠 Stay informed. 🌎 Protect
everyone.
