Thank you Cancer Support Switzerland for the warm welcome at your Geneva centre. It was a pleasure supporting your volunteers and staff and seeing such strong engagement and commitment to first aid readiness.

💙 Last week at our Geneva centre, our volunteers and staff came together to refresh their first aid skills, guided by the wonderful team from HealthFirst.

There was a real sense of care in the room as everyone practised CPR, rescue positioning and responding to choking. You could feel how much it mattered to each person, knowing these skills could one day help someone in our community.

Being there for people means being ready for anything, even emergencies. Watching everyone learn and support each other was a good reminder of why we do this work.

Everyone left feeling more confident and prepared, with the reassurance that comes from knowing you can help when it counts.

Thank you to Dr Michelle Wright and the incredible team at HealthFirst for sharing your time and expertise with such warmth and patience.

What an inspiring evening at Turning Up the Heat: Menopause in the Workplace, organised by the British Embassy Berne.

As doctors with a special interest in menopause medicine, and as a company working in health education, it was incredibly valuable to attend and listen to such open, honest conversations. The panel highlighted the real impact menopause can have on individuals and workplaces, and the urgent need to break the stigma that still surrounds it.

Thank you to the panel and organisers for creating space for learning, reflection, and progress on such an important topic. We’re proud to have been part of this important conversation.

Following the fire in Crans-Montana on New Year’s Eve, many families and communities continue to feel the emotional effects in different ways.

To support parents and carers during this time, we have published a practical guide on our website, developed by Dr Michelle Wright and Dr Mecky McNeil. The guide offers clear, age-appropriate information on common reactions after traumatic events, ways to support children and young people, and when and where to seek additional help.
