As we reach the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are urging you to remember to attend your breast screening appointment when invited.

Most women will have no sign of cancer, but breast screening can find cancers that are too small to see or feel. That’s why it’s important you attend your screening appointment.

Visit http://nhsinform.scot/immunisation to find out when your children will be offered vaccinations and how to get them vaccinated.

Prescriptions are free for patients in Scotland, but in the Borders alone, they cost us £84,000 per day.

You can help us reduce that figure by only ordering what you need, when you need it.

Let's work together to reduce the amount of medicine that is wasted.
