West Sussex County Council has launched SAFE (S*x Aware, Feel Empowered) — a new campaign supporting people to make informed decisions about their sexual health.

The campaign promotes:
✔️ STI prevention and testing (particularly for those under 25)
✔️ Contraceptive choices
✔️ Local sexual health clinics and services

A dedicated SAFE webpage is now available with helpful advice, support, and details of local services: www.westsussex.gov.uk/campaigns/safe-sex-aware-feel-empowered/

Ramadan Mubarak to all observing 🌙

As we begin the holy month of Ramadan, we would like to offer our best wishes to our patients, staff and our wider community.

For individuals living with diabetes, fasting can present specific health risks, including changes in blood glucose levels. Diabetes UK provides clear, evidence‑based guidance to support people in making informed decisions about fasting and how to do so safely where appropriate. You can access their detailed advice on their website:
👉 www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/looking-after-diabetes/ramadan

We wish all who are observing a peaceful and healthy Ramadan.

Did you know, you can order a repeat prescription even when your GP surgery is closed over the weekend?

While it's on your mind, just tap the NHS App, and get it off your to-do list.

This week is Cervical Cancer Prevention week. Taking care of your cervical health is one of the most important things you can do - and we’re here to make it as easy and comfortable as possible.
Cervical screening helps prevent cancer - and you have choices to make the appointment work for you.

Did you know you can:
✔ Ask for a female clinician
✔ Request a quiet or longer appointment
✔ Bring someone with you
✔ Ask for a chaperone
✔ Be added back to the recall list if you previously opted out by mistake
Been invited for cervical screening? Put your health at the top of your to-do list and book your appointment as soon as you can.
