If you receive an NHS screening invitation, don't ignore it – book it πŸ’™πŸ“©

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 πŸ‘

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 πŸ’™

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? πŸ‘ΆπŸ’™

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

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 πŸ‘

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 πŸ’«

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

As temperatures rise, it's important to know the signs of hyperthermia and heat-related illness β˜€οΈπŸ’™

Hyperthermia happens when your body becomes too hot and struggles to cool itself down. If left untreated, it can become serious and may require medical attention ⚠️

Signs to watch for include:
β€’ Dizziness or feeling light-headed 😡
β€’ Muscle cramps πŸ’ͺ
β€’ Swollen feet or ankles πŸ‘£
β€’ Feeling sick, weak or unusually tired πŸ€’
β€’ A rapid pulse or fast heartbeat ❀️

You can help reduce your risk by:
β€’ Drinking plenty of water throughout the day πŸ’§
β€’ Staying in the shade where possible 🌳
β€’ Avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day β˜€οΈ
β€’ Wearing loose, light-coloured clothing πŸ‘•
β€’ Checking on older relatives, neighbours and vulnerable people πŸ‘₯

Babies, young children, older adults and people with long-term health conditions can be particularly vulnerable during hot weather 🌑️

If symptoms become severe, worsen, or do not improve, seek medical advice promptly πŸ©ΊπŸ’™

Ever wondered how many calories your body uses just to keep you alive? πŸ’™

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs each day to carry out basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, regulating temperature and supporting your organs πŸ«€πŸ«

Knowing your BMR can help you better understand your energy needs and can be useful if you're looking to manage your weight, improve your fitness or make healthier lifestyle choices πŸ‘

Your BMR is influenced by factors such as:
β€’ age
β€’ s*x
β€’ height and weight
β€’ muscle mass
β€’ overall health πŸƒ

While BMR is only one part of the picture, understanding it can help you make more informed decisions about your nutrition and activity levels πŸ’ͺπŸ₯—

Use the Patient Info BMR Calculator to find out more about your body's energy needs πŸ’«

August is National Immunisation Awareness Month, a great opportunity to learn more about the vaccines that help protect children from serious illnesses πŸ’‰πŸ’™

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect against infectious diseases and help keep our communities healthy πŸ‘

The MMRV vaccine protects children against four illnesses:
β€’ Measles
β€’ Mumps
β€’ Rubella
β€’ Varicella (chickenpox) πŸ‘Ά

These illnesses can sometimes lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, meningitis and other health problems ⚠️

The MMRV vaccine is offered as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme and helps provide important protection during early childhood πŸ’™

Making sure your child receives their vaccinations on time helps protect them and those around them πŸ›‘οΈ

If you're unsure whether your child is up to date with their vaccinations, speak to your GP practice for advice πŸ‘
