Love Your Liver Month is a reminder to look after an organ that works hard for you every single day. Your liver fights infections, removes toxins, stores and produces energy and helps you heal.

Making small changes like reducing alcohol, eating well, staying active and knowing your risk factors can help protect your liver and support long-term health. There are simple tools and trusted advice available to help you take positive steps today. 💚🍎✨

Dry January is a great reset, but healthier drinking habits can last all year with the right support and mindset. Small changes like planning alcohol-free days, understanding your triggers, and finding alternatives can make a big difference to your wellbeing over time.

Help and guidance are available if you want to cut back, take a break, or rethink your relationship with alcohol. 💪🍃✨

A few weeks ago, the Unsworth Group Practice proudly donated £500 to The Darren Deady Foundation CIC an organisation dedicated to providing essential support to veterans in need.

The foundation works tirelessly to support those who have served, as well as their families, ensuring they receive the care, recognition, and assistance they deserve.

In addition to their amazing work, the foundation is transforming the former Washacare Family Support Centre in Westhoughton into a new Veterans Centre, providing a safe space and vital services for veterans in the local community.
We are honoured to contribute to this important cause, and we’re inspired by the foundation’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans.

🤧🦠 Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

👉 Check what to expect and when to seek help:
https://patient.info/features/infections/difference-between-cold-and-flu
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than “just a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.
