As the weather gets warmer, it's worth checking to see if your bottle of sunscreen is still effective.

The longer a bottle of sunscreen is open, the less effective it is at protecting you. If you’re using the same sunscreen from last summer, check that it hasn’t expired.

It’s #CarersWeek ! If you’re an unpaid family or friend carer in Surrey you’re invited to join Action for Carers and Healthwatch Surrey at St Peter's Hospital on Thursday 8th June from 8:30-10:30am to celebrate the Week. Free cake, coffee, goody bag and more!
