Breast Check
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Early detection is key to effective treatment. The Breast Check programme offers free mammograms to women aged 50 to 69 every two years to help find breast cancer early. It’s also important for all women to regularly check their breasts for any changes or lumps.

Menopausal symptoms can last for several years. If symptoms are severe or start before age 45, consult your GP. Treatments may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), vaginal oestrogen treatments, or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Lifestyle changes, like a healthy diet and regular exercise, can also help manage symptoms. Your GP can guide you on the best treatment options or refer you to a specialist if needed.
