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 💙

National world blood donor day 🩸🅰️🅾️🆎🅱️

Every bag of blood has a story.

A donor who gave up time out of their busy day.

A patient who now feels stronger.

Thank you to every person who rolls up their sleeve. You're the reason lives go on.

Today is the start of with Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK

Taking place from 13-20 June 2026, the campaign helps children aged 5–17 learn essential water safety skills ahead of the summer holidays.

With the warmer months comes increased risk of our teams attending incidents where people have got into difficulty in water - as was so tragically the case across the UK during May's heatwave.

Please share to help spread this life-saving message.

Stay safe around water this summer. Remember:

⚠️ Think carefully before entering any open water. Conditions can change quickly and hidden hazards such as currents, cold water shock and sudden depth changes are not always visible. Where possible, choose designated swimming areas with lifeguard supervision.
⚠️ If you get into difficulty in water, focus on controlling your breathing. Try to remain calm and float on your back to help stay afloat and conserve energy while you wait for assistance.
⚠️ If you see someone in trouble, do not attempt a rescue by entering the water. Call 999 immediately and request the fire service for inland water incidents or the coastguard for coastal or tidal areas.

❤️ 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 💙
