We are supporting World Glaucoma Week which runs from March 8-14.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness and is an eye condition where the main nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.
It's most common in adults aged 50 and over and can cause vision loss if it's not diagnosed and treated early.
For more information, click here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/glaucoma/ and make a GP appointment if you have any symptoms.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about prostate cancer, the UK’s most common cancer in males which affects one in eight men.
Early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment, but many men with early prostate cancer often show now symptoms.
During March, encourage someone you know to check their risk by clicking on https://prostatecanceruk.org/risk-checker

This week is Eating Disorders Awareness Week and we are supporting this event.
At least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder, and millions more who support them feel the impact too.
Eating disorders can be deeply isolating, but connecting with others who understand, or who share your interests and values, can be life-changing.
And it doesn’t matter whether your community is one person or many, even a single meaningful connection can bring hope, strength, and the reminder that you are not alone.

Tummy discomfort that lasts for three weeks or more could be a sign of cancer.
It’s probably nothing serious, but finding cancer early makes it more treatable.
Contact your surgery and arrange a GP appointment if you have any worries.
