Travelling can be an exciting and enriching experience, but for those who experience anxiety, it can also feel overwhelming. The uncertainty of new places, unexpected changes in plans, and the general hustle and bustle of travel can trigger anxious thoughts. However, with careful planning and the right mindset, you can make travelling a more enjoyable and stress-free experience.
March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and an opportunity for us to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and its signs and symptoms. Ovarian cancer is a condition that affects thousands of women in the UK each year. It is the sixth most common cancer in women, with around 7,500 new cases diagnosed annually in the UK. As with most cancers, early detection is important because it can improve the chances of successful treatment. Although the symptoms of ovarian cancer can be easy to confuse with other conditions, being aware of the signs and risks can save lives.
As the winter chill lingers across much of Europe, February offers the perfect excuse for a sun-drenched escape. Whether you’re seeking balmy temperatures, stunning coastal scenery, or cultural exploration, the Canary Islands, Madeira, Malta, and Cyprus are among the best destinations to visit. These Mediterranean and Atlantic gems boast mild winter climates, making them ideal for a mid-winter getaway.
Every year, on 4 February, the world comes together to observe World Cancer Day, a global initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Established in 2000, this day is an opportunity to raise awareness, educate people about cancer, and inspire individuals, organisations, and governments to take collective action against one of the world’s most significant health challenges. As we mark World Cancer Day 2025, the focus remains steadfast: empowering communities, enhancing global cooperation, and striving towards a world free of preventable cancer deaths.
As February approaches, hearts take centre stage – not just because of Valentine’s Day, but because it is also Heart Health Month. While we often associate Valentine’s Day with love and affection, it is also the perfect time to reflect on our heart health.
