🥞 Happy Pancake Day, Cumbria! 🥞

It’s time to flip, toss, and enjoy some delicious pancakes! But who says they can’t be healthy AND tasty? 🤩

✨ Top Tips for a Healthier Pancake Day:
🥑 Swap white flour for wholemeal or oat flour for extra fibre.
🍌 Sweeten naturally with banana or berries instead of sugar.
🥛 Use low-fat milk or plant-based alternatives for a lighter mix.
🍯 Drizzle with honey or Greek yogurt instead of syrup!

🌿 Savoury pancakes can be healthy too! Try:
🥚 Spinach & feta for a protein-packed boost
🥑 Avocado & smoked salmon for healthy fats
🍅 Roasted veg & hummus for a plant-based option

Tag us in your best pancake creations or your most epic flipping fails! 😂👇

🚨 Exciting Healthcare Innovation in Cumbria! 🚨

We’re thrilled to announce the incredible success of the Cumbria Health and PocDoc Healthy Heart Check Programme, which has achieved record-breaking uptake, with over 90% of those invited participating in this digital home screening initiative for cardiovascular disease (CVD). 🌟

Since October 2024, this NHS-backed scheme has been transforming the way we approach preventative healthcare, particularly in rural areas. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with 93% of participants finding the home screening process more convenient than visiting a GP, and the majority benefiting from early detection and lifestyle recommendations. 💪

Notable statistics:
- Over 69% of participants were identified as overweight or obese
- 78% hadn’t had a cholesterol test in over 5 years
- 71% were recommended lifestyle changes
- The programme has helped reduce GP waiting times and provided essential health checks in areas that need it most. This is a brilliant example of how digital health can empower individuals to take control of their health in a convenient, accessible, and innovative way! 🚀

A huge thank you to Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council for their invaluable support—without them, this initiative would not have been possible. Together, we’re paving the way for a healthier future. 💙

A big thank you to The Bethany House Group for welcoming us today for workplace health checks! It was great to support your team in prioritising their health and well-being.

Regular health checks are key to staying on top of your health, catching potential issues early, and feeling your best—both at work and beyond.

Today we’ve had some of the Cumbria Health team in to carry out Health & Wellbeing checks on our staff.

We must all remember that looking after ourselves is just as important as looking after the others around us.

As the saying goes
‘ you cant pour from an empty cup’

Thank you for your time Cumbria Health 🥰
