Testicular Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that knowing your body and checking regularly can make a real difference. Testicular cancer is most common in younger men, and early detection is highly treatable. There is nothing to feel embarrassed about when it comes to your health, and getting checked early can save lives. 💙🩺✨

How to check:
• Check yourself once a month, ideally after a warm shower or bath 🛁✨
• Gently roll each testicle between your fingers and thumb 🤲💙
• Get to know what feels normal for you 🧠✨

What to look out for:
• Any lumps or swelling 🩺⚠️
• Changes in size, shape or texture 📏✨
• A feeling of heaviness in the sc***um ⚖️💙
• A dull ache or discomfort in the lower abdomen or groin 🤕✨

If you notice anything unusual, speak to your GP. 💙🩺✨

Good nutrition and hydration are essential for overall health, energy levels and how your body feels day to day.

Eating a balanced diet with a variety of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and protein helps fuel your body, while drinking enough water supports circulation, digestion and joint health. Hydration also plays a role in keeping connective tissues, including fascia, supple and functioning well. Small, realistic changes to your diet can make a big difference over time, and planning ahead is especially important during periods of fasting to maintain safe hydration and nutrient intake. 🥗💧💙✨

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight is in a healthy range 📊

Knowing your BMI can help identify if you may be underweight, overweight or at risk of health conditions linked to weight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

While BMI is a useful starting point, it does not tell the whole story 👇
Waist measurement is also important, as carrying extra weight around your middle can increase your risk of health problems, even if your BMI falls within a healthy range.

Understanding both measurements can help you make informed choices about your health and seek support if needed 💙✨

🌿 Social Prescribing Day – 26 March 🌿

Social Prescribing Day celebrates the positive impact that social prescribing has on people’s health and wellbeing. Social Prescribers support individuals to connect with activities, groups and services in their community that can improve confidence, wellbeing and quality of life.

Here’s what some patients from our PCN have shared about their experience:

💬 “Working with my social prescriber has helped me to feel more confident and in control of my own choices.”

💬 “With the support of my social prescriber I have been able to go shopping, which I find an overwhelming experience at times and I have also begun to engage more with people through feeling more comfortable with myself.”

💬 “I now attend 2–3 social/exercise groups a week I was not aware of before and really look forward to.”

Social prescribing can help people access support for things like social isolation, physical activity, wellbeing and community connections.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

Salt plays an important role in the body, but too much can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Many processed foods contain hidden salt, so it’s easy to consume more than recommended. On the other hand, very low salt levels can sometimes contribute to symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness or fluid balance issues, especially if combined with dehydration.

Staying well hydrated, keeping active and aiming for a balanced diet can help support healthy blood pressure. Understanding how salt affects your body can help you make informed choices. 🧂💧🩺✨

The UK Health Security Agency is continuing to investigate an outbreak of meningococcal disease in Kent. As of 5pm on 17 March, 9 laboratory cases are confirmed and 11 notifications remain under investigation, bringing the total to 20. Six of the confirmed cases are confirmed to be group B meningococcal disease. Sadly 2 people have died.

Young people and children born after 2015 will have received a vaccination course for Meningitis B (at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1yr) as part of the routine vaccination program. Those born before 2015 will not have received a Meningitis B vaccine from the NHS and are currently not eligible to receive the vaccination from the NHS. It is available privately from pharmacies and other private services. We understand Wes Streeting has asked UKHSA to consider whether a catch up program for vulnerable groups should be urgently introduced but no further information is currently available.

Children who did not receive the vaccination due to them from the NHS who were born after 2015, and who are currently under 2yrs of age would be eligible for a catch up vaccination from practices. However, those children who missed their vaccination and who are now over 2yrs of age would not be eligible and would need to seek a private alternative.
