Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Scotland.

It often develops without symptoms, particularly in the early stages.

Men aged 50 and over, or 45 and over if you have a family history or are a Black man, can speak to their GP about a PSA test.

Finding cancer earlier can make treatment easier. Find out more: prostatescotland.org.uk

When we talk about missed diabetes health checks, it’s not simply a case of people not wanting to go.

The reality is that some people struggle with long appointment times that can clash with important work and family commitments. And when you need to chase your healthcare team to get all your checks because they’re not all covered in one appointment, it can take a lot of effort.

Then, there’s the third of working-age people who say they find it difficult to talk to their employer about taking time off for medical appointments. And there’s stigma. Over half of people with diabetes say they’ve missed appointments because they felt judged or ashamed. That’s a massive number.

Others might feel fine about their diabetes, but when you’re managing the condition day in, day out, it can be hard to prioritise another appointment — especially if nothing feels wrong.

Whatever your story, it's vital that everyone with diabetes gets their regular diabetes health checks. We’ve got lots of information about them, what they mean and why they’re so important, along with free downloadable resources to help you advocate for yourself if you’re not getting the care you expect.

Go to https://orlo.uk/health-checks_6kREO to find out more.

We’re here too if you need support, information or you’re finding things too much. Call our helpline on 0345 123 2399.

We’re proud to launch SafeConnect in partnership with Police Scotland – a new safeguarding initiative to support people with dementia who may be at risk of going missing.

The SafeConnect fob is a small, yellow device that can be carried or attached to clothing. It holds secure emergency contact details and can be scanned with a smartphone using Near Field Communication (NFC) to help quickly reunite someone with their loved ones or carers.

After a successful pilot in Argyll & Bute and West Dunbartonshire, we're now rolling out SafeConnect fobs free of charge to anyone living with dementia across Scotland.

To request a free SafeConnect set-up pack or learn more about the initiative, please visit our website - www.alzscot.org/safeconnect-request/
