Social Prescribing Day celebrates the power of community, connection and non-medical support to improve health and wellbeing. 🌿✨

Social prescribing links people to local activities, groups and services that can help with loneliness, stress, finances, housing, physical health and more. Being part of a community, trying new social activities or accessing practical advice can have a positive impact on both mental and physical wellbeing. Support is available in many different areas, helping people feel more connected and empowered. 💚🤝

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

Salt plays an important role in the body, but too much can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Many processed foods contain hidden salt, so it’s easy to consume more than recommended. On the other hand, very low salt levels can sometimes contribute to symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness or fluid balance issues, especially if combined with dehydration.

Staying well hydrated, keeping active and aiming for a balanced diet can help support healthy blood pressure. Understanding how salt affects your body can help you make informed choices. 🧂💧🩺✨

🩺💉 Meningitis Vaccination Update

We understand there is a lot of concern at the moment following recent reports of meningitis cases. If you are checking whether your child or teenager is up to date with their vaccinations, please read the information below:

MenB Vaccine

The MenB vaccine is part of the routine NHS schedule for children under 2.
Children born from 01.07.2015 onwards will have received the MenB vaccine as part of their routine schedule.
Anyone born before 01.07.2015 will not have had the MenB vaccine as part of the standard NHS childhood programme.
At present, there is no guidance from UKHSA to offer the MenB vaccine to those born before 2015 or outside the routine schedule.
If parents wish their child to receive the MenB vaccine privately, this can be arranged independently, but we cannot advise where.

MenC / MenACWY Vaccines

Individuals born before 2015 will have received the Meningitis C (MenC) vaccine under the previous schedule.
The MenACWY vaccine was introduced in Summer 2015 and is routinely offered to Year 9 students.
Currently, there is no instruction from UKHSA to offer MenACWY outside of the existing immunisation schedule.

⚠️ Important info for parents: MenB outbreak in Kent

We know the recent MenB outbreak may be worrying 😟. Here’s what you need to know:

💉 The MenB vaccine is offered on the NHS to children under 2 as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme.

👶 Children born after 01.07.2015 will have already been offered this vaccine.
❌ Children over 2, and adults who aren’t in a clinical risk group, are not eligible for the vaccine on the NHS.

We follow guidance from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to keep children safe 🛡️.
