Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2025

Each November, we come together to recognize Lung Cancer Awareness Month — a time dedicated to raising awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting those affected by one of the world’s most common and serious cancers.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, but with continued research, improved treatments, and increased public understanding, there is real hope for change.

Early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes, yet many people remain unaware of the symptoms or risk factors associated with lung cancer.
Throughout this month, we encourage individuals and communities to learn the signs and symptoms.

Together, we can help break the stigma, spread knowledge, and inspire action.Let’s make Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2025 a powerful reminder that awareness leads to prevention, and early detection saves lives.

We see cases of flu, RSV and COVID-19 throughout the year, but in winter they circulate at the same time and can reach high levels.

There are vaccines to help protect against flu, COVID-19 and RSV, which are offered to different vulnerable groups.

Staying at home when you have symptoms of flu or COVID-19 helps protect those who are vulnerable. If you need to go out when unwell, consider wearing a mask around other people.

Simple measures like catching coughs and sneezes in a tissue, regular handwashing, and opening a window when meeting others indoors can all help reduce the spread of respiratory infections.

WORLD STROKE DAY

Every year, 12 million people experience a stroke. That's one every two seconds.

Stroke can happen suddenly, and without warning.

Stroke cuts off the supply of blood and oxygen to the brain. Every minute it goes untreated, millions of cells die. The longer the time gap, the more likely people are to be left with long-term brain damage that affects their ability to walk talk and manage everyday tasks on their own.

The sad truth is that 1 in every 2 people who experience a stroke will die from it. For those that survive, two thirds are left facing complications and long-term disabilities.

Knowing how to spot the signs of stroke and raising the alert is an essential first step that can help make sure people get the treatment they need, fast.

This doesn't just save lives, it increases the chance of a full recovery so that stroke survivors can go on to live their best life.

Every Minute Counts. Learn to spot the signs of stroke today.

Most pharmacies can offer prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP or make an appointment. This is called Pharmacy First.

Conditions they can offer prescription medicine for are:

impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)
shingles (aged 18 years and over)
If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice and support decisions about self care treatment with over the counter medicines, but you may need to see a GP for treatment or refer you to other health professional if needed. They will also update your GP health record, but your information will not be shared with anyone else.

Most pharmacies can provide prescription medicine for these conditions but contact them before visiting to check.

🩸 Type 2 diabetes
🫁 COPD and asthma (in adults)
💭 History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder

👉 Call the NHS Smokefree Helpline 0300 123 1044
