New Year, no need to follow the herd.

Today we encourage you to skip the pressure of resolutions – looking after your health isn’t a January fad.

Our gentle reminder that small steps every day will help you to feel the best you can:
- Looking after your mental health
- Resting when you need it
- Fuelling your body
- Moving your body
- Keeping on top of any health checks and vaccinations

And remember to ask for help when you need it.

Be realistic. No baaad resolutions required.

Screening for cancer won’t detect them all.

If you've had a screening and you still feel like something isn't right, speak to your GP.

The earlier something is found, the better the chances of treating it. 🩺

Cold or hot, sunny or not… Remember to check your skin this Winter.

Pay particular attention to areas that will be covered up such as backs and legs

See a GP if:
• you have a mole that’s changed size, shape or colour
• you have a mole that’s painful or itchy
• you have a mole that’s inflamed, bleeding or crusty
• you have a new or unusual mark on your skin that has not gone away after a few weeks

Finding a skin cancer as early as possible can mean it’s easier to treat.
