Come with us as we take some of our care home residents living with dementia to one of our regular dementia friendly cinema days! 🎬✨

This month’s film was The Duke, shown at The Light in Huddersfield. These special screenings are designed to make cinema accessible and enjoyable for those living with dementia, with thoughtful adjustments like:
✅ Lower sound levels
✅ Brighter lighting
✅ No ads or trailers
✅ A relaxing interval halfway through

Before the film, residents enjoyed tea, coffee, and pastries which is a lovely chance to settle, socialise and connect. The goal is always to create a calm, welcoming environment where everyone can feel comfortable and have fun.

Big thanks to the amazing team at The Light for making these dementia friendly showings possible. 💙

You might not know it but your sleep could actually be impacting your ongoing back pain. 🥱

Dr Zoe has three top tips on what you should be considering:

💙 Is your mattress firm enough to support your back?
💙 How are you lying in bed? The comfier, the better!
💙 How many pillows are you sleeping with, and could one be used to support your leg?

Make sure all three are right for you to try and ease that pain and ensure your spine is in the right position for your sleep.

Struggling with low mood as the days get shorter?

It could be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

SAD is a type of depression linked to seasonal changes, often starting in autumn and lasting through winter.

Here are some tips to help navigate SAD:
💙 Get outside - natural light can boost your mood.
💙 Let in the light - open blinds and sit near windows.
💙 Feed your body - eat a balanced diet with plenty of nutrients.
💙 Get moving - exercise helps release feel-good chemicals.
💙 Keep a diary - track your feelings and triggers.
💙 Help your future self - plan enjoyable activities to look forward to.

If you’re feeling very low or struggling to cope, speak to a healthcare professional. You’re not alone, support is available.

You asked… and Dr Rebecca answered! Here are the top 10 questions around Genomics, Medication Check and DNA Health Check.
 
💙 What is Genomics?
Genomics is the study of your DNA and how it interacts with your environment to influence your traits and health.
 
💙 Is Medication Check the same as an allergy test?
No. Allergy tests detect immune reactions to medications. Medication Check looks at how your genes affect how your body processes medicines.
 
💙 What is the DNA Health Check?
This is a genomic test available to eligible health assessment customers. It provides insights into your risk of developing conditions such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
 
💙 What does Medication Check do?
It analyses your genetic response to over 100 commonly used medications, including those prescribed by your GP or bought over the counter.
 
💙 How do I take the test?
Receive a saliva collection kit by post.
Provide your sample and return it using the prepaid envelope.
Receive your results via email in around 4 weeks.
Book an optional 30-minute GP consultation to discuss your results.
 
💙 Who can take the test?
UK residents aged 18+
No need to be a Bupa customer
Not suitable if you’ve had a recent blood transfusion or certain transplants (bone marrow, stem cell, liver, or kidney).
 
💙 What happens to my data?
Your data is securely stored and processed by Bupa and trusted third-party providers in the UK, with strict privacy protections in place.
 
💙 Why is genomics important in healthcare?
Genomics enables personalised medicine, which allows healthcare professionals tailor treatments and medications to your unique genetic profile.
 
💙 What is the human genome?
The human genome is the complete set of genetic instructions in your DNA, made up of around 20,000 genes arranged in 23 chromosome pairs.
 
💙 What does PGx mean?
PGx stands for pharmacogenomics which the study of how your genes influence your response to medications, helping guide safer and more effective treatment choices.

1 in 6 breast cancers don’t present as a lump. Knowing the other warning signs could save a life - Here’s what to look for:

✅ Skin changes – puckering, dimpling, rash or a texture like orange peel
✅ New ni**le inversion – if your ni**le suddenly pulls inwards and that’s not your usual
✅ Discharge or bleeding from the ni**le
✅ Changes in shape or size – breasts aren’t identical, but look for new asymmetry
✅ Persistent pain or tenderness

💖Check monthly by looking and feeling each breast. There’s no “right” technique - what matters is noticing what’s normal for you so you can spot changes early.

🎗️ It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month so please SHARE this post to help someone else recognise the signs. Early detection saves lives!
