Today is a day to celebrate everything Social Prescribing.

We are a service that work with individuals from GP surgeries to help someone reach their goals, which could be anything from social, emotional, practical, wellbeing – infact the list is endless, because every person is different and has different needs.

The service wouldn’t exist and definitely wouldn’t be a success without these amazing ladies behind it. So, I would like to use today to highlight them, because without their dedication, passion, forward thinking, kindness and care – our communities wouldn’t thrive like they do.

PROUD - is the word I want to focus on this year to celebrate this wonderful team. Everyday they individually and as a team go above and beyond for others and that is something that in a world that can seem frightening at times gives hope that there are good people out there that want things to be better for others. Thank you for all you do.

So, please show some love for Lindsay, Hayley, Sally and Lynette for all they do.

❗Know the signs of meningitis and septicaemia

There has been a rise in the number of meningococcal disease cases in the UK. Meningitis and septicaemia can develop suddenly and progress very quickly so it’s important to know what to look out for.

Symptoms can appear in any order, and some may not appear at all. A rash doesn’t always develop so don’t wait.

Look out for:

➡️a rash that doesn’t fade under a glass
➡️sudden high fever
➡️severe headache
➡️stiff neck, joint and muscle pain
➡️vomiting and diarrhoea
➡️dislike of bright lights
➡️ very cold hands and feet
➡️ seizures
➡️ drowsiness or confusion
➡️ extreme fatigue or difficulty waking
➡️️babies may have a high pitched cry, refuse feeds, or have a bulging soft spot.

If someone is very unwell or showing these symptoms:

✅ call 111 for urgent medical advice
✅call 999 or go to A&E in an emergency.

Trust your instincts, symptoms can worsen quickly.
