💜 Today is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, often called the “silent disease” because symptoms can be vague and appear late. Early detection saves lives!

Know the signs:

- Indigestion
- Persistent tummy or back pain
- Changes to your poo
- Unexplained weight loss
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)

If you notice these symptoms, contact your GP immediately.

Good evening all, I wanted to introduce my business to you all and make you aware of the services that I am now offering to the local community.

I have recently set up independently as a Mobile Foot Health Practitioner, covering the Wyre and Fylde area to provide home or workplace visits for all ages.

My extensive background in healthcare ranging from care homes and hospitals, pharmacy, and emergency care, gives me a wealth of experience to provide my service in ways to suit even those with more complex needs.

So if it's routine nail cutting you would like help with, or for something more problematic, get in touch either here or calling/messaging on 07731452032 for an initial consultation or to book an appointment.
