As we're expecting more warm weather this weekend, it's worth checking to see if your bottle of sunscreen is still effective. The longer the bottle is open, the less effective it is at protecting you. If you’re using sunscreen from last summer, check that it hasn’t expired.

Go and see this fabulous team. So passionate about what they do. Ask them about the #communityconversation and your blood pressure! 😊

If your illness or injury isn't serious or life-threatening, you don't need the emergency department and may be sent elsewhere. Know before you go and check hospital waiting times 🔗 cornwallft.nhs.uk/miu-waiting-ti… Need urgent care advice? 📱 Visit 111.nhs.uk or call 111
