🔔 Tinnitus Awareness Week 🔔

Living with tinnitus can be challenging.

Ringing, buzzing or humming sounds can affect sleep, concentration, mood and wellbeing — and for many people, it’s something others can’t see.

This Tinnitus Awareness Week, we want to remind everyone that:
💙 You’re not alone
💙 Support is available
💙 You don’t have to “just live with it”

If tinnitus is affecting your daily life, speak to your GP or audiology service. There are treatments, coping strategies and support that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

You can also find trusted information and support at:
👉 https://www.tinnitus.org.uk

Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those living with tinnitus.

Please share to help spread the message.

💙 Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This month, we’re raising awareness of oesophageal cancer, and the importance of knowing the symptoms.

Oesophageal cancer often has subtle early signs, which means it can be harder to spot. Getting symptoms checked early can make a real difference.

⚠️ Common symptoms to look out for include:
• Difficulty swallowing food
• Food feeling stuck in your throat or chest
• Persistent heartburn or acid reflux
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing indigestion
• Chest pain or discomfort

If you’ve had any of these symptoms for more than three weeks, don’t ignore them. Contact your GP practice, it’s always better to get checked.

👉 Learn more about the signs, symptoms and support available:

Early action saves lives. Please share to help raise awareness.
