Your local pharmacy, or chemist, isn’t just the place where you pick up your prescribed medicines➕

They can also give health advice. Pharmacists are qualified health professionals and are the right people to see if you need advice or over-the-counter medicines.

They are trained in dealing with many illnesses, they can check your symptoms and recommend the best treatment, or just reassure you – for instance when a minor illness will get better on its own with a few days’ rest.

Some of the problems they can help with are: coughs, colds, sore throats, earache, toothache and emergency contraception (the morning-after pill). They can also tell you when you need to see a doctor or nurse and you can get advice on prescription medicines👍

Not every symptom means cancer – but it’s important to know what to look out for.

If you notice unexplained changes that don’t go away, speak to your GP.

Most symptoms won’t be cancer, but checking early can make a real difference.

By 2035, the ambition is that three in four people with cancer will be cancer‑free or living well five years after diagnosis.

This means:
✔️ Earlier diagnosis
✔️ Faster access to treatment
✔️ Better support during and after cancer
✔️ Improving outcomes for everyone, regardless of where they live

Across the NHS, teams are working together to detect cancer earlier, improve research and innovation, and support people to live well with and beyond cancer.

Together, we’re working towards a future where more people survive cancer – and live well. 💙

Last week we visited Next Head Office to speak to staff about being cancer aware, staying on top of screening and highlighting signs and symptoms to keep an eye out for.

We attended with colleagues from the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB and Bowel Screening Team as part of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.

On the day we had some very insightful conversations and discussed the upcoming Lung Cancer Screening programme too.

Thanks for having us Next, we had a great day!❤️
