Not sure where to go when you need urgent medical care? An Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) could be the right place. 🏥💙

Urgent Treatment Centres provide medical care for illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. They can help you get the right treatment without visiting A&E. 👍

You may be able to visit an Urgent Treatment Centre for:
🩹 Minor burns and scalds
🤕 Sprains and strains
🦴 Minor broken bones and fractures
✂️ Cuts and wounds that may need stitches
🌡️ Minor infections and illnesses
🐜 Insect bites and stings
👂 Ear and throat infections
🤒 Fever or minor head injuries

Always call 999 or go to A&E if someone has a life-threatening emergency, such as:
🚨 Chest pain or suspected heart attack
🚨 Signs of a stroke
🚨 Severe breathing difficulties
🚨 Serious injuries or heavy bleeding
🚨 Loss of consciousness

If you're unsure where to go, NHS 111 can help you find the right service for your needs. 📞

Getting the right care in the right place helps NHS services care for everyone more efficiently. 💙

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 is a great reminder that it's never too late to take steps towards better health. 💙

Staying active as you get older can help you maintain your independence, improve your balance, strengthen your muscles and bones, reduce your risk of falls, and boost your mental wellbeing. 🚶‍♀️

The NHS recommends that older adults should:
• Aim to be physically active every day.
• Do activities that improve strength at least twice a week.
• Include exercises that improve balance and flexibility, especially if you're at risk of falling.
• Reduce the amount of time spent sitting by getting up and moving regularly. 💪

You don't have to join a gym to stay active. Walking, gardening, dancing, swimming, gentle exercise classes or even doing household chores all count towards a healthier lifestyle. 🌼

Small changes can make a big difference to your health, confidence and quality of life. Why not start today? ❤️

Andy’s Man Club is a free, peer-to-peer support group for men aged 18+, providing a safe and open environment where you can talk about whatever you’re facing - big or small. 🤝

Men come together to share experiences, listen, and support one another without judgement. You don’t have to speak if you don’t want to, and there is no pressure - some men simply listen at first, and that’s okay.

Groups meet every Monday at 7pm (excluding Bank Holidays) at locations across the UK, with all clubs following the same supportive format and guidelines.
