questions about your lifestyle. You will then receive an overall score
out of 10 and advice on how you are doing in each area. You’ll also
receive personalised recommendations and a wealth of NHS resources including free apps to help you act where it’s most needed.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in the UK. Women aged 50 to 71 are invited for a breast screening every 3 years.

Over 1.75 million women went to their screening appointment last year, that’s a 5% increase from the year before.

Regular breast screening is one of the best ways to find cancer, before you notice anything yourself.

🗓️ Been invited? Book your screening and make sure you attend. Pop it in your calendar so you don’t forget.

🫣 Missed your appointment? No worries. You can call your local breast screening service and get booked in.
