Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💓
Ovarian cancer can affect anyone with ovaries, and the symptoms can often be vague or easy to overlook. Knowing what to look out for could make a real difference.
Common symptoms include:
▪️ Persistent bloating
▪️ Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite
▪️ Pelvic or abdominal pain
▪️ Needing to wee more urgently or more often
If these symptoms are new, persistent (most days), and unusual for you, please don’t ignore them — get in touch with your GP.

Zero Discrimination Day is observed every year on 1 March and was launched by UNAIDS to promote equality, inclusion, and compassion for all.

It highlights the importance of ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or health status—has access to fair treatment and quality healthcare. At our GP practice, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for every patient.

Discrimination has no place in healthcare, and we stand together to support dignity, understanding, and equal care for all.

Parenting doesn’t come with days off and neither do the challenges that affect your mental wellbeing. Ahead of Parent Mental Health Day on 30 January, we’re sharing tools and support to help parents and carers look after themselves all year round.
Your wellbeing matters just as much as the young people you care for.
