Help us protect our most vulnerable from the spread of viruses and infection.

While we usually associate sickness bugs with winter, these infections can spread all year round. If you are unwell, please avoid visiting loved ones in our hospitals until you are free from the symptoms of illness for at least 48 hours.

Where possible, do not visit multiple wards and ensure to wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water when entering and leaving each area.

For more information, including virtual visiting, visit: nhsfife.org/visiting

Raising a teen can be a challenge.

It’s not unusual for teens to feel anxious, to have mood swings and to feel isolated. Sometimes they don’t even know why they’re feeling or acting the way they do, which makes it all the harder to understand what they’re going through.

But there are things you can do to help.

For ideas to help support your teen and for information on how to spot the early warning signs of something more serious, visit ParentClub.scot

Project Ramadan is back for its fifth year across NHS Fife.

What began as a small idea to support colleagues observing Ramadan has grown into a more widespread initiative. This year, 500 food and drink bags, funded by Fife Health Charity, are being made available across our sites for colleagues breaking their fast during busy shifts, particularly during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Each bag includes items such as dates, crisps and juice, offering a small but meaningful moment of support at iftar, while also helping to raise awareness and understanding of Ramadan among colleagues.

Renal pharmacist Farrah Al‑Ghita will also be hosting a lecture next week as part of our Grand Round, where she’ll be sharing:

✅ Guidance on medication management during Ramadan
✅ Why Ramadan is about more than abstaining
✅ Better supporting colleagues and patients during this time

Thank you to everyone involved in making Project Ramadan possible.

Do you know the symptoms of endometriosis?

Physical symptoms can include painful periods, heavy, long-lasting periods and pain or bleeding before or after peeing or pooing.

Tracking your symptoms and how they are affecting your daily life may help your conversation with a health professional and explain the support you feel you need.

The menstrual health symptom tracker has been designed to support those conversations → https://brnw.ch/21x0r7G

As the seasons change, you may notice different illnesses or health concerns.

Many minor illnesses can be safely managed with self‑care advice or support from your local community pharmacy, where trained professionals can offer treatment and guidance, often without the need for an appointment.

Our Spring into the Right Care pages include information on a range of topics and how to manage them, including:

🌻 Mental health
🌻 Seasonal allergies
🌻 Asthma
🌻 Respiratory infections
🌻 Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

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
