It’s the start of Euro Test Week!
Hepatitis C often has no symptoms - but left untreated, it can lead to serious liver damage. The good news?
It’s curable, especially when caught early. 👈
This week is about raising awareness and encouraging testing. 💙

Reminder of the Day 🌤️
Just a gentle nudge, it’s okay to take it slow today.
After the bank holiday, easing back into work is productive.
Breathe. Prioritise. One task at a time.
You’re not behind, you’re just human. 💛

Dean and Georgina rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty, planting sunflower seeds earlier this month.
The seeds are now safely growing on the kitchen dresser, and we can't wait to share photos of their beautiful blooms this summer! 🌻

Harmful alcohol use no longer a 'young people issue' | Nursing Times
Read about a changing trend towards older people drinking more heavily than younger people and how nurses need to respond to this.
Gill Campbell, head of nursing at Turning Point, highlighted a rise in older people drinking harmfully. She noted increased acuity and complexity in their Manchester inpatient unit, linked to prolonged harmful drinking and age.
