Struggling with hay fever? You’re not alone 🌼

Hay fever is a common allergic reaction to pollen that can cause sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and throat, and coughing 🤧

While there’s no cure, there are lots of ways to manage your symptoms and feel more comfortable 👍

Simple things that can help include:
• Keeping windows and doors closed when pollen levels are high
• Showering and changing clothes after being outdoors
• Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from pollen 🌤️

A pharmacist can also help by recommending treatments such as antihistamines, nasal sprays or eye drops to ease your symptoms 💊

If your symptoms are severe or not improving with treatment, it’s important to speak to your GP for further advice 👨‍⚕️

Looking after your baby or toddler’s teeth starts earlier than you might think 💙

You should begin brushing your child’s teeth as soon as their first milk tooth appears. This helps build a healthy routine and protects their teeth from decay 👍

For babies and toddlers up to age 3:
• Brush twice a day – last thing at night and once more during the day
• Use a smear of toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice) with at least 1,000ppm fluoride
• Gently brush all teeth and gums, even if it’s just a little at first 🪥

For children aged 3–6:
• Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
• Help them brush until they’re confident (usually around age 7)
• Encourage them to spit out toothpaste and not swallow it 👍

It’s also important to limit sugary foods and drinks, as these can lead to tooth decay. Water and milk are the best choices for healthy teeth 🥛

Starting good habits early can make a big difference to your child’s oral health as they grow 💫

Cervical screening can save lives 💙

Cervical screening (previously called a smear test) is a quick and simple test that checks the health of your cervix and helps prevent cervical cancer 👍

It’s offered to women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64, with invitations sent every 5 years 📅

The test doesn’t check for cancer itself – it looks for a virus called HPV, which can cause changes to the cells in your cervix. These changes can be treated early to stop cancer developing 💉

At your appointment, a small sample of cells is taken from your cervix by a nurse or doctor. It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll be supported throughout to make you as comfortable as possible 🤝

Even if you feel well and have no symptoms, it’s important to attend your screening when invited – it’s one of the best ways to protect your health 💙

You don’t need to be an athlete – you can pick your distance and choose to do it in a day, a few weeks or the whole month of June. Every step you take is one towards a future free of IBD

Know your skin. It could save your life 💙

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, but spotting the signs early can make a big difference to treatment and outcomes 👍

A helpful way to check your moles is the ABCDE checklist:
• A – Asymmetry: one half doesn’t match the other
• B – Border: edges are irregular, ragged or blurred
• C – Colour: uneven or multiple shades
• D – Diameter: larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)
• E – Evolving: changing in size, shape, colour or feeling (e.g. itching or bleeding)

You should contact your GP if:
• a mole becomes painful, itchy, inflamed, bleeding or crusty
• you notice a new or unusual mark or lump that doesn’t go away
• a mole changes or looks different from others

Melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, not just sun-exposed areas, so it’s important to check your skin regularly 👀

Men’s Health Week is a great time to learn more about cancers that only affect men 💙

Some cancers specifically affect men, including prostate, testicular and pe**le cancer. These cancers develop in parts of the male reproductive system and can affect people at different stages of life 👨‍⚕️

For example:
• Prostate cancer starts in the prostate gland and is the most common cancer in men in the UK
• Testicular cancer often affects younger men and may present as a lump or swelling
• Pe**le cancer is rare but can develop on or under the fo****in

Treatments can vary depending on the type and stage of cancer, but may include surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, with support available throughout 💙

It’s important to know your body and speak to a healthcare professional if something doesn’t feel right. Early detection can make a big difference 👍

This message is inclusive of trans women and non-binary people (assigned male at birth), who can also be affected by these cancers and should feel supported to seek advice 💙

❤️ Give blood. Save lives.

Donating blood is one of the simplest ways you can make a life-saving difference. Every donation can help patients in emergencies, during surgery, or those living with long-term conditions 💉

It’s quick, safe and takes around an hour, but the impact can last a lifetime. In fact, one donation can help save up to three lives 🙌

Most people aged 17–65 who are fit and healthy can donate, and you’ll be fully supported through the process to make sure it’s safe for you and the patient 👍

Blood is always in high demand, and new donors are needed all the time to make sure there’s enough for everyone who needs it 💙
