💙 It’s Anti‑Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good! Time to stand up, speak out, and build kinder communities 🌟
Bullying can happen anywhere: in schools, workplaces, online, even in organisations up and down the ladder. It affects everyone.
Here’s how we can make a difference together:
👫 Be an ally, not a bystander - if you see something, say something
🏫 In schools: encourage safe spaces, peer support, and open dialogue
💼 In workplaces & organisations: promote respect, zero tolerance, and clear reporting structures
🗣️ Share stories, challenge harmful behaviour, and support those who feel alone
Let’s work together for environments where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued 💪

🌫️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month is here - and this year, we’re shining a light on the connections between lung health, coughs, and family cancer history.
A persistent cough might be dismissed as a cold or heart issue — but sometimes, it’s more than that. If it lingers, gets worse, or you have other symptoms, get it checked.
Key point: family history of cancer doesn’t only mean the same cancer you have. When your doctor asks, they mean any cancer your relatives have had. This information can help assess your risk and guide decisions.
Stay alert to changes, know your family history, and speak up for your lung health 💨

🧠🌀 Feeling overwhelmed? Stress isn’t just “part of life” — it can affect your body, mind and behaviour in real ways.
Here’s what you might experience:
✔️ Physical: headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, chest‑racing heartbeats
✔️ Mental: trouble concentrating, making decisions, constant worrying
✔️ Behavioural: irritability, sleep too much or too little, eating changes, pulling away from others
When stress becomes long‑term, it can lead to burnout — extreme exhaustion, cynicism, reduced performance.

🎃🔪 Thinking of carving up a spooky pumpkin this Halloween? Before you do, here’s how to stay safe - and how to keep your sugar intake in check 👻🍬
How to carve a pumpkin safely:
🛠️ Use a clean, dry, well-lit area with a sturdy surface.
🧼 Wash and thoroughly dry your hands and tools to avoid slips.
🛡️ Use a proper pumpkin carving kit (small serrated saws) instead of large kitchen knives.
🔄 Always cut away from your body and use small, controlled motions.
👨👩👧 Leave the carving to adults; kids can draw the design or scoop out pulp.
⚠️ If you get cut and heavy bleeding continues for more than 15 minutes, seek medical care.
Balance is everything - carve safely, enjoy treats mindfully, and take care.

🫂 Provide real help for those in crisis

👧 Missed a flu vaccine at school? We’ve got you covered 👦
School children in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire can catch up on any missed flu vaccinations at a series of clinics running over the half-term holidays.
The School Aged Immunisation Service will be offering flu vaccinations at family hubs and community venues across the county and city.
Appointments are by booking only and can be made by calling IntraHealth on 0333 3583 397 (option 4, then option 2).
🎗️ ADHD Awareness Month - October is here! Whether you're newly considering ADHD or already navigating life with it - you’re not alone. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can manifest as inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or all three - presenting differently across individuals and across life stages
Seeking clarity? Begin with ADHD UK’s About ADHD page, offering videos from specialists and a self-screener for adults
ADHD UK also hosts peer support groups, expert-led sessions, and an online marketplace of coaches and tools to help with day-to-day challenges
Why it matters:
• Diagnoses are rising - not because ADHD is increasing, but because awareness is growing and stigma is lifting
• But many still wait long months - even years - for NHS assessments - access remains unequal
• Misinformation online can confuse rather than clarify. Trusted sources like ADHD UK are key

Launched in April 2018, GP+ Nottingham City is Nottingham’s first City-wide evening and weekend GP Service. Located on Upper Parliament Street in the heart of the city, the service offers routine and same day appointments to patients registered at the 52 GP practices in the city. Clinicians working at the service include GPs, Practice Nurses, Clinical Pharmacists, Physiotherapists and Stop Smoking Advisors.
To book an appointment, patients simply need to contact the reception desk at their own GP Practice. It’s not a ‘walk-in’ or ‘out-of-hours’ service.
The service is open from 4pm – 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am -1pm on Saturday and Sunday. Since March 2019, we’ve operated daytime appointments with our Stub It! stop smoking advisors (10am – 2pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.)
GP+ has been funded by NHS Nottingham City CCG, in response to the 2016 GP Forward View vision for improved access for patients to GP Services on evenings and weekends. The service is operated by the Nottingham City General Practice Alliance (the ‘GP Alliance’). The GP Alliance exist to help and support General Practice to remain resilient and strong enough to survive and thrive in the changing and unpredictable healthcare landscape. 45 of the 52 practices in Nottingham city are members of the GP Alliance.
On the launch of the service in April 2018 GP Alliance Chairman, Dr Jonathan Harte, commented:
“The GP Alliance is delighted to have been given the opportunity to support City Patients and Practices by developing this service. The additional capacity it will bring will provide a useful service for patients and help to ease the intense workload pressures on General Practice in the City.”
Following an inspection in February 2019, the GP+ service was awarded a ‘Good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission. You can read the inspection report here.
