NHS bowel cancer screening kits are offered to everyone aged between 50 and 74.

They can help find cancer early, before you even have any symptoms. And the earlier cancer is found, the easier it can be to treat.

When your kit arrives, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

Let someone else know they should send their kit back – especially as April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

Today is World Hearing Day.

Did you know? More than 95 million children and teenagers live with hearing loss. Many don’t get health services to remedy this.

Spot the possible signs of hearing loss in children:

⁉️ Frequently asking you to repeat
📖 Struggling with attention or keeping up at school
👂 Complaining of ear pain or ear discharge
🗣️ Showing delayed speech and language development

Early checkups and simple treatments can make a big difference. Don’t wait! Take your child for a hearing test.
