🧠 Be Stroke Aware! 🧠
A stroke can happen to anyone, at any time, but recognizing the signs early and acting fast can save lives.

Remember F.A.S.T.:
🔴 F – Face: Has their face drooped on one side? Can they smile?
🔴 A – Arms: Can they raise both arms?
🔴 S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or unclear?
🔴 T – Time: If you notice any of these signs, call 999 immediately!
⏱️ Time is critical, the faster someone gets help, the better their chances of recovery.

🩺 It’s never too late to get screened for bowel cancer!
We want to remind all patients that early detection saves lives. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, but when caught early through screening, treatment is more effective and outcomes are better.

If you’re 50 or older, or have a family history of bowel cancer, completing your screening test is an important step toward protecting your health. Screening is simple, safe, and can be done in the comfort of your home.

We are proud to support the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. By taking part, you’re not only looking after yourself, but also helping raise awareness in our community.
💬 Need help or didn’t receive your kit?

Call the Bowel Cancer Screening Helpline on 0800 707 6060. The team can guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

✅ Why screening matters:
• Detects cancer early, when treatment is more effective.
• Can catch changes before they become cancer.
• Protects your future and gives peace of mind.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken the test, your action is helping save lives!

For information on taking the test, visit: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/bowel-cancer-screening/


Get screened, protect your future, and help us make a difference, together, we can beat bowel cancer. 💙

✅ The MMRV vaccine is safe and well-established
The MMRV vaccine has been used safely in other countries, including the USA, Canada and Australia, for many years.

It’s recommended by UK vaccination experts to protect children from serious illnesses.
If you have questions, our team is happy to help.

👶 New 18-month vaccination appointment:
From January 2026, some children will be invited for a routine vaccination at 18 months of age.
This appointment includes the MMRV vaccine and helps give protection earlier, when it’s most needed.

📱We’ll be in touch when your child is eligible.
