Is your own gambling or someone else’s causing you to worry about money, work or relationships?

The new year period can be challenging for those experiencing gambling harms, financial pressures and other issues such as poor mental wellbeing. Often, these go unseen – but support is available, and recovery is possible.

✔ Use tools which mean you can no longer gamble, such as TalkBanStop
✔ Access online resources to help understand how gambling can harm you
✔ Refer yourself to a specialist gambling treatment service

Did you know that having the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine can reduce your baby’s risk of having severe RSV by 70% in the first six months of life?
RSV is a major respiratory virus that is most common over the winter period. While the symptoms are mild for many, RSV accounts for around 30,000 hospitalisations of children under five in the UK annually, and for 20 to 30 infant deaths.
If you’re at least 28 weeks pregnant, you can now receive the vaccine at any time up to the birth, by contacting your maternity service or GP practice to arrange an appointment.
If you’re under 28 weeks pregnant, pop a reminder in your diary to book this vital vaccine when you reach week 28 of pregnancy.
It is advisable that women receive the recommended vaccines during their pregnancy journey for optimum protection.
Speak to your maternity service or GP practice to arrange an appointment.
