    For patients with type 1 diabetes, blood sugar levels require constant management and can become a medical emergency. That’s why I’m delighted a groundbreaking new therapy’s been approved for use on the NHS which could delay the onset of T1D for hundreds of young people a year.

    It's hot and while lots of people love long sunny days, heat can pose real risks to your health. 🫠 Being sun‑safe does not mean you have to dampen the fun, but dampening your skin with a wet sponge? That can help you cool down.

    Closely matched blood provides the best treatment for people with sickle cell. As the condition predominately affects people of Black African & Black Caribbean heritage, every new donor from these communities could transform care. ➡️ ow.ly/Xwar50Z6eeo #WorldSickleCellDay
