Do you or someone you care for have communication needs?

NHS services will ask, record, share, and meet those needs as part of your care.

This could include arranging an interpreter, translating letters, or providing information in large print, braille, or easy read.

If you need support, let your healthcare team know – we’re here to help. 💙

Your next bathroom trip could save your life!
The NHS is now sending free bowel cancer screening kits to everyone aged 50–74 and registered with a GP in England.
If you've already received your screening kit, use it, send it back, and reduce your risk.
Put it by the loo, not on the to-do list.
It’s quick, easy, and could catch cancer early.

Student nurses supported by our Nursing Clinical Lead, Maggi Bradley and the Sefton Training Hub delivered a brilliant presentation on “Why Your Gender Matters.” This was part of their cohort project.

They explored healthcare and screening for transgender and non-binary people, and how nurses can “be the change” and “empower the change.”

Inspiring work from our future nurses!
