Thunderstorm can trigger symptoms for those with lung conditions, like asthma. If the weather makes your symptoms worse and you need to use your inhaler more, talk to your pharmacist, contact your GP or NHS 111.

It’s #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek. Women aged 25 to 64 are invited for cervical screening. It checks for changes to cells in your cervix, helping prevent cervical cancer. If invited, or you missed your last screening, contact your GP practice or local sexual health clinic.
