Regular exercise plays a vital role in maintaining both physical and mental health, and it does not have to mean spending hours in the gym.

Being active can help reduce the risk of long-term conditions, improve mood and boost energy levels, while also supporting independence as we age.

Examples of regular exercise include:
- Brisk walking or cycling to improve heart health.
- Strength exercises like carrying shopping or resistance training to build muscle.
- Balance and flexibility activities such as yoga or stretching to reduce falls and stiffness.
- Low-impact activities like swimming or chair-based exercises, especially later in life.

Staying active in ways you enjoy makes it easier to keep exercise as part of everyday life.

It's World Physiotherapy Day!

Physical activity is important at every stage of life. Whether it's a short walk, stretching, gardening or another activity you enjoy, moving more and sitting less can help improve your health, maintain your independence and boost your overall wellbeing.

If you're unsure how to get started or have a health condition that affects your mobility, a physiotherapist can provide advice on exercising safely and help you find activities that work for you.

Let's keep moving for life.

Give your child the best protection this season.

Vaccinations help protect children from serious illnesses and keep them healthy as they grow. Staying up to date with their routine vaccinations is one of the most effective ways to give them the best start.

If you're unsure whether your child is due a vaccination, speak to your GP practice. Together, we can help keep our communities protected.

Planning a trip abroad? Don't forget your UK GHIC!

If you're travelling overseas, a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) can give you access to medically necessary state healthcare in the EEA and certain other countries on the same basis as a local resident.

The GHIC is free to apply for and can be valid for up to 5 years. Make sure you apply through the official NHS website and avoid websites that charge a fee.

Remember, a GHIC isn't a replacement for travel insurance, so it's important to have appropriate travel insurance as well.

Planning your holiday? Apply in good time, as cards can take up to 15 working days to arrive.

Find out more and apply for your free GHIC: https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/healthcare-abroad/apply-for-a-free-uk-global-health-insurance-card-ghic/
