🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, encourage conversations and remind everyone to look after their breast health 💗

Breast cancer can affect anyone, and finding changes early can make an important difference.

Please know your normal and get to know how your breasts usually look and feel.

If you notice a new or unusual change, don’t ignore it — contact your GP or healthcare professional for advice -
🔸 A new lump or swelling
🔸 A change in the size or shape of your breast
🔸 Changes to the skin, such as dimpling or puckering
🔸 Changes to the ni**le or ni**le discharge
🔸 Any other change that is unusual for you

And if you’re invited for breast screening, please make time for your appointment. 💗

🎀 Check. Know. Speak up. 🎀

There are minor injury units in the local area that are able to treat most injuries that are not serious or life-threatening.🩻🦴

They might be a slightly longer drive for you, but they are likely to have much shorter wait times and provide a really high standard of care.

Visiting an minor injury unit also means our Emergency Department staff can focus their efforts on treating those who are most unwell at Great Western Hospitals.

🖤 Waiting for exam results can be extremely stressful.

The pressure of ‘good results’ is something that severely worries young minds.

We wish everyone good luck on results day but if you don’t receive the grades you expected, do not beat yourself up, you are so much more than your grades.
