💛 World Hepatitis Day – 28 July

Today is World Hepatitis Day, a global awareness day highlighting the importance of looking after your liver and raising awareness of viral hepatitis.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Some types can be prevented through vaccination, while others can be successfully treated if diagnosed early.

Many people have no symptoms, so it’s important to seek advice if you think you may be at risk or have concerns about your liver health.

Help protect your liver by:

✔️ Getting vaccinated if you’re eligible
✔️ Practising good hygiene and safe food preparation when travelling
✔️ Avoiding sharing needles or personal items such as razors or toothbrushes
✔️ Speaking to your GP if you think you’ve been at risk or have symptoms such as persistent tiredness, abdominal pain or jaundice

For trusted NHS information, visit:

Together, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage early diagnosis. 💙

☀️ Stay Safe in the Summer Heat 💙

Warm weather is a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, but it’s important to look after yourself and others.

✔️ Drink plenty of water throughout the day
✔️ Wear sunscreen and seek shade during the hottest hours
✔️ Wear light, loose-fitting clothing
✔️ Check in on older relatives, neighbours and anyone who may be more vulnerable to the heat

If you feel dizzy, weak, unusually tired or unwell in the heat, move somewhere cool, drink water and seek medical advice if your symptoms don’t improve.

Stay safe, stay hydrated and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️💙
