This summer, the incredible success of the women's football team has reminded us just how
strong, resilient, and inspiring women are!

Let’s carry that energy forward by looking after our health, starting with booking your cervical smear test.

It helps detect early changes before they become serious and is one of the best ways to prevent cervical cancer!

⏰ Don't forget to set your clocks forward by one hour tomorrow as we transition into daylight saving time!

🕰️ While losing an hour of sleep can be tough, it also means longer, brighter evenings to look forward to. Don't forget to adjust all your clocks, including those on appliances and in your car, to ensure you stay punctual.
