You know your body and mind best — and sometimes those close to you notice changes first.
If you have any concerns, we encourage you to reach out and speak with your GP.

Early advice and support can help you plan, manage and stay well.

Noticing changes in yourself isn't always easy. You might brush them off as normal ageing or think they're too minor to worry about.

These changes in your brain can make it harder for you to notice them. Your brain is what you think with, so if it’s changing, so is the way you think.

Two simple strategies can help you catch changes early:
🧠 Take even small signs seriously. If something feels off, get it checked out.
🧠 Trust the people who know you well. If someone close to you says they've noticed a change, listen to them. Sometimes others can see things we can't see in ourselves.

With kids heading back to school next week, it’s important to make sure they are truly back-to-school ready—including keeping up with their reading and returning with an up-to-date Asthma Action Plan if they have asthma.

An up-to-date Asthma Action Plan is your child’s “just in case” tool—like having sunscreen in their school bag. It ensures teachers and staff know exactly what to do if asthma symptoms arise, helping keep your child safe, supported, and ready to take on the day without missing a beat.

An Asthma Action Plan is a written, personalised guide developed with your child’s healthcare provider to help manage asthma effectively. It outlines clear steps to follow based on the severity of symptoms and helps prevent or respond to flare-ups.

The plan typically includes:
• Daily management: Details of daily medications (if required), triggers to avoid, and
routine measures to keep asthma well controlled.

• Recognising symptoms: Early warning signs of asthma flare-ups (such as wheezing or coughing) and when to use quick-relief (rescue) medication.

• Emergency instructions: Clear steps for managing more severe asthma attacks, including when to seek medical attention or call emergency services.

• Peak flow monitoring: Guidance on using a peak flow meter to track lung function and assess symptom severity.

For children, an Asthma Action Plan also ensures teachers, caregivers, and school staff know how to respond quickly and confidently if an asthma episode occurs. It’s an essential tool for keeping asthma under control and reducing the risk of complications.

So, as you tick off the back-to-school checklist—hats, uniforms, lunchboxes—don’t forget to add an asthma check-up too!

Happy New Year! Make your health your priority this year!

This is your 1st of the month calendar reminder to check your b***s.

Breast changes can happen for many reasons.

Regular breast checks are an important part of maintaining your health and can help you become familiar with your body, making it easier to notice any changes.

Here are some tips to guide your self-check:

1. Visual Inspection: Stand in front of a mirror and look for any changes in size, shape, or skin texture.

2. Palpation: Whole lying down, use your fingers to gently press the breast tissue, checking for any lumps or unusual changes.

3. Pay Attention to Your Body: Be mindful of any pain, swelling, or discharge from the ni**le.

If you notice any changes or have concerns, please make an appointment to speak to your GP.
