There's still time to take part in the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust study about going through perimenopause/menopause with spinal cord injury. It'll only take 5 minutes and could improve future treatment and care - click below for more info⬇️ bit.ly/42xnNwB

Thank you @edgagolf for inviting Lisa, our Northern Ireland support network coordinator along to Royal Portrush last weekend to experience @TheOpen and try out disability golf 🏌️♀️⛳️ She had a great day with you all and is now ready to take on Rory! #TheOpen #DisabilityGolf

If you need medical help during strike action in England, use 111, or for a serious or life-threatening emergency, call 999. You will be contacted if your appointment needs to be changed. Please continue to come forward for the care you need.
From tomorrow, some NHS services will be affected due to strike action. While some appointments won’t go ahead as planned, NHS staff are doing all they can to limit disruption – and patients should continue to use services in the usual way. ℹ️ england.nhs.uk/2025/07/nhs-pa…
