Celebrated every September 17th, World Patient Safety Day is a powerful call to action for global awareness and unity in the fight against patient harm. This annual observance highlights the critical need to prevent and minimise risks, errors, and injuries in healthcare settings. By coming together, we can forge a collective commitment to safeguarding patients and enhancing the quality of care from the biggest hospitals to the smallest clinics!

International Gynaecological Health Day highlights the importance of understanding these hormonal changes and underscores the need for regular gynaecological checkups, whether for routine maintenance or addressing specific health concerns.

Heart Awareness Month is dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and cardiovascular diseases. The aim is to educate on the importance of maintaining a healthy heart and making lifestyle choices that support cardiovascular well-being. Heart disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide, and this month we work to reduce its impact through awareness and action! By looking after your heart, you’re looking after your life.

Ovarian cancer is a growth of cells that forms in the ovaries. These cells multiply quickly and can invade and destroy healthy body tissue. The female reproductive system contains two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries—each about the size of an almond—produce eggs (ova) as well as the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. When ovarian cancer first develops, it might not cause any noticeable symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they are often attributed to other, more common conditions. This is part of what makes it so dangerous. Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include: • Abdominal bloating or swelling • Quickly feeling full when eating • Weight loss • Discomfort in the pelvic area • Fatigue Contact us to learn more about our holistic wellness initiatives, designed to support your team's overall quality of life. https://loom.ly/PAJQ4JQ
