Small steps can make a big difference to your mood.

Looking after your mental health doesn’t always mean making big changes. Something as simple as going for a brisk walk can help you feel better, both physically and mentally.

You don’t need to be an athlete or set big goals — just taking that first step and getting moving can be a positive change for your wellbeing.

When Should You Go to A&E?

Accidents and emergencies happen – but do you know when it’s really the right time to go to A&E?

Going too early or for non-urgent issues can delay care for those in serious need. On the other hand, waiting too long can put your health at risk.

A&E is there for life-threatening or serious conditions like:

- Difficulty breathing
- Heavy bleeding
- Seizures
- Serious injuries

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/
