We'd like to remind families that support is available all year round.

Breastfeeding can be rewarding, but it can also bring questions and challenges. Whether you're feeding a newborn, expressing milk, combination feeding, or simply looking for reassurance, you don't have to manage alone.

If you need support, speak to your health visitor, midwife or GP, or connect with your local breastfeeding support services:

🤱 It's World Breastfeeding Awareness Week!

Every family's feeding journey is unique. Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, currently breastfeeding, combination feeding, expressing, or looking for support, help is available.

Breastfeeding offers many health benefits for both babies and parents, but it doesn't always come easily. You don't have to do it alone.

If you live in Cumbria, you can access friendly, local support from trained professionals and peer supporters.

🌍 World Hepatitis Day | 28 July

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, often caused by a viral infection. Many people with hepatitis have no symptoms, so testing can play an important role in early diagnosis and treatment.

If you think you may be at risk or would like advice about hepatitis, please contact your GP practice.

Could it be Sepsis?
Know the signs. Save a life. 🚨

Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that happens when the body's response to an infection starts to damage its own organs and tissues. It can develop from any infection and can become serious very quickly.

Seek emergency medical help immediately (call 999 or go to A&E) if you or someone else has signs of sepsis.⚠️

Please help raise awareness by sharing this post. You could help someone recognise the signs when every minute counts.
