UPDATE

The car park is now accessible from Honeywall side *****

URGENT
Good morning all

Unfortunately our car park has no access this morning as the Water Board have closed Pump Street both sides.

Apologies for this but we have been given no prior notice.
I am in discussion with them at present and hopefully the road should be open later.

I will try and update when they come back to me

Again we offer our apologies

If you receive an NHS screening invitation, don't ignore it – book it 💙📩

NHS screening programmes are designed to identify potential health problems before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance of receiving treatment early if needed 🩺

Screening is offered to different groups of people at different stages of life and can help detect conditions such as certain cancers, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other health concerns before they become more serious ⚠️

Most screening tests are quick, simple and free through the NHS 👍

Even if you feel well, it's important to attend when invited. Screening can provide reassurance or help identify problems early, when treatment is often more effective 💙

If you've received a screening invitation, take a few moments to book your appointment. It could make a significant difference to your health and wellbeing 🌟

Wondering when your baby might arrive? 👶💙

The NHS Due Date Calculator can give you an estimated due date based on the first day of your last menstrual period 📅

While only a small number of babies arrive exactly on their due date, knowing your estimated due date can help you plan for appointments, prepare for your baby's arrival and understand your pregnancy timeline better 👍

Your due date may be adjusted later based on your dating scan, which usually takes place between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy 🩺

Remember, every pregnancy is different and babies can arrive before or after their estimated due date 💫

If you think you may be pregnant or have questions about your pregnancy, speak to your midwife, GP or maternity team for support 💙

Staying Safe in the Sun

This summer has already been very hot, and the heatwaves seem likely to continue. Heat and UV rays can have a significant impact on all our health.

UV rays:
Cause painful sunburn
Damage skin, causing premature ageing
Increase your risk of skin cancer
Can damage your eyes
Excessive or prolonged exposure to heat can lead to heat exhaustion, which can become heatstroke if the person is not cooled down and given fluids quickly.

The symptoms of heat exhaustion for both adults and children include:
Tiredness
Dizziness
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Excessive sweating and skin becoming paler and clammy
Cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
High temperature
Being very thirsty
Feeling irritable
The symptoms of heatstroke include:
Very high temperature
Hot skin without sweating
Fast breathing and heartbeat
Confusion and restlessness
Seizure (fit)
Loss of consciousness
Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Get immediate medical help if someone has the symptoms of heatstroke. You can find out more at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/heat-exhaustion-heatstroke/.

To stay safe in the sun, follow these handy tips:
Use the recommended amount of a good sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and at least 4-star protection against UVA rays, even if you have dark skin
Remember to reapply sunscreen when you have been swimming
Stay in the shade as much as you can to protect yourself from UV and extreme heat, particularly between 11am and 3pm in the UK
Wear UV-protective sunglasses, a wide brimmed hat, and loose, long-sleeved clothes to protect your skin and eyes and stay cool
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated

Temperatures are set to rise this week, but how much do you know about staying safe in the sun? Read our guide to find out more...
