We are devastated to hear of the recent meningitis related deaths in Kent. It is extremely important to know the symptoms of meningitis. Please visit the NHS website for a full list of symptoms.

With temperatures forecasted to drop across the UK over the next few days, it’s important to make sure that we’re looking out for our loved ones living with dementia. Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring specific challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse. They may not always be able to communicate that they are cold – or they might not even recognise it themselves. Perception issues can also make it difficult for someone with dementia to see icy patches on a pavement or understand that a surface may be extra slippery. So make sure to check in regularly on loved ones, friends and neighbours living with dementia, and follow our useful tips to help support them through the winter. For more tips on how to support a person living with dementia in the cold weather, visit spkl.io/6012AjkMY.

When you experience #PregnancyLoss or #BabyLoss, it can feel like the whole world has stopped. It can be hard to watch others continuing life as normal, when something so devastating has happened to you. It’s completely normal to feel this way 💜🧡 sands.org.uk/support

It's officially #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth! 💜 Pancreatic cancer is hard to diagnose and difficult to treat, so early detection can help save lives. Symptoms can be vague and may vary. But by raising awareness, more people will know the signs to look out for.

Excellent piece from @hannahsbee Very pleased for the Leeds families, who have fought so hard for this, but what next? An inquiry into Oxford? A national inquiry? Or wait to see what Baroness Amos delivers? newstatesman.com/politics/healt…

"The number of mothers sustaining a third- or fourth-degree perineal tear while delivering their baby has risen from 25 in 1,000 in June 2020 to 29 in 1,000 in June this year." Worrying. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Today is the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week, which runs from 9-15 October. This week is a time to remember much-missed babies, reach out to anyone who's been through baby loss and raise awareness for those who don't know how many people it impacts: bit.ly/3rJk94j

Grief after #PregnancyLoss and #BabyLoss can look different on the outside. A simple message or practical offer of support to a loved one can make a huge difference 💙🩷 #BLAW
