March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💙🎗️

🚨 Know the symptoms:
🔹 Persistent bloating
🔹 Pelvic or abdominal pain
🔹 Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
🔹 Needing to wee more often

If these symptoms persist for two weeks or more, speak to your GP. Trust your instincts—you know your body best!

🌸 Cervical Cancer Awareness Week: Get Informed, Get Screened, Get Vaccinated 🌸

Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that can be prevented and treated if caught early. So we’re here to remind you how important it is to take action for your health:

✅ Get Informed: Learn about the signs, symptoms, and risk factors. Knowledge is your first line of defense.

✅ Get Screened: Don’t ignore your invitation for cervical screening (smear test). It’s quick, free, and could save your life.

✅ Get Vaccinated: The HPV vaccine offers vital protection against the virus that causes most cervical cancers. If you or your children are eligible, make sure to get vaccinated.

💡 Need Support? We’re here to help! If you have questions about screening or the vaccine, visit us or speak with your GP. Taking action now could make all the difference.

Let’s work together to raise awareness, protect lives, and take the steps that matter. 💙
