🌸National Girlfriends Day | The Best Gift Is Looking Out for Each Other 💕
A great friend reminds you to laugh, dream, and keep going through life's challenges. 💖 She can also remind you to take care of your health.
🌍✨This National Girlfriends Day, celebrate the women who stand beside you by encouraging one another to prioritize health. 🌍✨
💗A simple conversation can make a difference:
✅Book that cervical cancer screening.
✅Get tested when something doesn't feel right.
✅Attend your routine health check-up.
✅Talk openly about menstrual health, menopause, sexual and reproductive health, and mental well-being.
✅Share trusted health information, not myths.
🌍Across Africa, too many women still delay seeking care because of stigma, limited awareness, or lack of access to services. Having a trusted friend who encourages you to seek care early can be the difference between early treatment and missed opportunities.
💜At LEA-WH, we believe improving women's health is not only the responsibility of health systems and researchers. It is also strengthened by communities of women who support, encourage, and empower one another.
🌷This National Girlfriends Day, remind a friend that her health matters because she matters.
💬Tag a woman who inspires you to live a healthier life.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at @airtattoo when the gates open from Friday. To keep everyone safe, there will be security checks for all visitors as they come onto the site.
These essential checks may mean a longer wait to get in, so please plan ahead & be patient #RIAT25
🎉 The countdown is on for #PartyInThePark2025
We’ve been looking back at some of our favourite moments from last year🤩
We can’t wait to do it all again!
🚒The Firefighter Challenge team hosted a charity car wash at Gloucester North Fire Station, raising over £1,330 for The Fire Fighters Charity👏
Our team and on-duty crews washed cars and engaged with the local community.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work and generosity🙌

☀️ The heat is intense today. Anyone can become unwell when the weather is hot, but some are at higher risk than others. Look out for older people, people with long-term health conditions and young children who may find it more difficult to stay cool and hydrated in hot weather.
This is just a quick shout out to all the security staff across the NHS who do everything they can to keep staff and patients safe.
They rarely get a mention, but the NHS wouldn’t work without them.
This is Freddie, who has finally got to ring the bell after three years of cancer treatment.
Sending huge love to Freddie, his family and friends, and all the NHS staff who helped make that moment possible 💙
Motorists are reportedly jumping traffic lights on Oxstall Lane/Cheltenham Road. Please don’t put yourself and others in danger. We advise that you allow extra time for your journey while emergency road closure by @walesandwest are in place on Kingsholm Road.
If everyone who has been grateful for an NHS doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million followers this evening and be much stronger together
