Pinch Punch, 1st of the month.
Time for your monthly breast check boys and girls!

Whatever your age, size or shape it's important to get to know your 'normal' and be breast aware.

Please share with your pals, Mum, Dad or your neighbour - it's never too early to start checking your breasts. 💕

As a small, independent, registered charity, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have been running for over 30 years but still need to get the Bosom Friends name out there - we can’t support those with Breast Cancer if they don’t know we exist!

Our group is 100% run by volunteers, who have all had a breast cancer diagnosis themselves. We find this is extremely beneficial, as we have a great understanding of others fears and apprehension.

Please like our page, if you haven’t already,
Invite your friends and share our posts.
(PLEASE don’t screenshot - or if you do TAG US so people know we’re here!)

Even better if you use the ❤️ or 😮 reactions on our posts to help them get seen more.

Thank you 💕

The Trust’s new Specialist Mother and Baby Service (SMABS) platform helps families understand what support is available and reassures parents that compassionate help is here.

The platform includes:

• Information about the service
• What to expect from support
• Real experiences from parents who accessed help

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. Find out more: https://tinyurl.com/48r2r2z5

Today the Government has released the renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England, and we are pleased to see Health Minister Wes Streeting MP recognise the many challenges those with endometriosis have faced and put in place a plan for ensuring diagnosis times are reduced and access to care is improved.

Emma Cox, Chief Executive Endometriosis UK said:
Today’s renewed Women’s Health Strategy comes at a time when it is desperately needed. Diagnosis times for endometriosis are going up not down and it’s now taking an average of 9 years 4 months - rising to 11 years for diverse ethnic communities - which is totally unacceptable. Leadership and decisive actions will be vital to drive these times down.

Endometriosis UK welcomes the commitments in the renewed Women’s Health Strategy which we have long been calling for, including streamlining gynaecology care and cutting waiting lists to ensure faster access for conditions like endometriosis, improving menstrual health education in schools, and ensuring women’s voices are involved in future policy making.

A focus on symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain has the potential to speed up diagnosis of endometriosis, adenomyosis and menstrual health conditions. Providing much needed pathways to access diagnosis and treatment, and ensuring healthcare practitioners recognise and take these symptoms seriously, could result in a step change in speed of diagnosis and access to care.

These commitments must be matched with a clear roadmap for delivery, including ensuring the necessary resources and capacity. We now look forward to working with the Government to ensure these commitments become reality so that everyone with endometriosis, adenomyosis and menstrual health conditions have their symptoms recognised and believed, and can access the right care at the right time.
