Introduction: This week, I've been working on some exciting projects, including visiting Petrus and learning about what they do, brainstorming ideas for a new campaign, and taking photos and videos. Stay tuned for some amazing content coming your way! Day 1: let me take you through day one of my fifth week as a content creator apprentice. It was an exciting start as I attended a workshop on social media marketing. I learned some awesome strategies to boost engagement and reach on various platforms. Can't wait to implement them in my upcoming projects! Day 2: Day two of my fifth week as a content creator apprentice was all about getting creative. I worked on creating an infographic to accompany our future campaigns. It was a fun challenge to visually represent the information in a captivating way. Can't wait to share it with my audience! Day 3: On day three of my fifth week, I had arranged to meet up with Elaine one of the HART nurses, she informed me about Petrus and what they do, which is that Petrus provides residential and day support services to people who are homeless or in housing need. It offers a safe environment where people can develop their skills and independence to empower change. After I took a few photos and learned about Petrus me and Elaine then travelled to a hostel called 'Redfern House' where we set up a table of food and snacks and a hep c stall so the nurses could check the residents of 'Redfearn house' as they are in more of a vulnerable position and can be harder for them to maintain their health. What is Hep C? Hep C also known as Hepatitis C is a virus that affects your liver. It can be very serious if it's not treated. I took a few photos and learned so much about how caring and helpful Elaine was, It was inspiring to see how Elaine and people like Elaine come forward to help those in need and it gave me some fresh ideas for my upcoming projects.

As you may well have heard in the news recently, there have been a number of cases of monkeypox in England. Recent cases have been predominantly in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men although as with any virus, this could possibly change. The source of these infections is currently being investigated because the evidence suggests that there may be the transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community, spread by close contact. Investigations are underway to establish links between cases. Those patients needing medical care are all in specialist infectious disease units. Monkeypox is a rare infectious disease, but there are a number of cases in the UK and that number is rising. Monkeypox is a viral infection usually associated with travel to West Africa. It is usually a mild self-limiting illness, spread by very close contact with someone with monkeypox and most people recover within a few weeks. The virus can spread if there is close contact between people and the risk to the UK population is low. However, recent cases are predominantly in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men and as the virus spreads through close contact, we are advising these groups to be alert to any unusual rashes or lesions on any part of their body, especially their genitalia, and to contact a sexual health service if they have concerns. Symptoms Unusual rashes or lesions on the body such as the face or genital area Fever Muscle aches Chills and exhaustion Headaches Swollen lymph nodes Current national situation It’s important to stress that numbers are incredibly low however all updates will be published via a rolling news story, where you’ll also find the latest case numbers- https://www.gov.uk/government/news/monkeypox-cases-confirmed-in-england-latest-updates Call to action If you think you have monkeypox symptoms – however mild: Contact NHS 111 or call a sexual health clinic immediately. Your call will be treated sensitively and confidentially. Avoid close personal or sexual contact with others until you know that this is not monkeypox. Please contact clinics ahead of your visit and avoid close contact with others until you have been seen by a clinician. Your call or discussion will be treated sensitively and confidentially.

Spreading awareness about cervical screening within the South Asian community... Nurse Zoe attended a cervical screening event to give the women who appeared at the event a better understanding of a smear test, as a nurse it makes it better for people to be given the correct information. The event was organized by CanSurviveUK at Deeplish Community Centre. Raising awareness in the South Asian Community about the importance of cervical screenings is crucial for women's health. What is Cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It occurs when abnormal cells in the cervix grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumour. If left untreated, these cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body. Cervical cancer is primarily caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. However, not all women with HPV develop cervical cancer. Other factors that can increase the risk of developing cervical cancer include smoking, a weakened immune system, long-term use of oral contraceptives, and a family history of cervical cancer. In its early stages, cervical cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause. Other symptoms may include pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. Regular cervical screening, also known as a Pap smear or Pap test, is crucial for detecting abnormal cells in the cervix before they develop into cancer. It involves collecting a small sample of cells from the cervix and examining them under a microscope. If abnormal cells are detected, further tests, such as a colposcopy or biopsy, may be performed to determine if cancer is present. It's important for women to prioritize regular cervical screenings and to discuss any concerns or symptoms with their healthcare provider. Cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease, and early detection plays a vital role in improving outcomes. Barriers to cervical screening amongst Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi women aged 25-64 in North Manchester When it comes to cervical screening, several barriers can affect Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi women aged 25-64 in North Manchester. One barrier is the lack of awareness and knowledge about the importance of cervical screening. Many women from these communities may not fully understand the purpose and benefits of getting screened regularly. Language and cultural barriers can also play a role. Some women may face difficulties in understanding the information provided during the screening process due to language differences. Additionally, cultural beliefs and taboos surrounding discussions about reproductive health can make it challenging for women to openly discuss and seek information about cervical screening. Accessibility can be another barrier. Limited access to healthcare services, including convenient appointment times and locations, can make it difficult for women to attend screenings. Factors such as transportation issues, work commitments, and family responsibilities can further hinder their ability to prioritize cervical screening. There may also be misconceptions and fears related to the screening procedure itself. Some women may have concerns about pain, discomfort, or embarrassment during the examination, which can discourage them from attending screenings. To overcome these barriers, it is crucial to raise awareness within these communities about the importance of cervical screening and debunk any misconceptions. Providing information in multiple languages and culturally sensitive materials can help address language and cultural barriers. Improving accessibility by offering flexible appointment options and ensuring that healthcare facilities are easily accessible can also make a difference. It's important to work collaboratively with community leaders, healthcare providers, and support organizations to develop targeted outreach programs that address the specific needs and concerns of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi women in North Manchester. By addressing these barriers, we can strive to improve cervical screening rates and promote better reproductive health outcomes for these communities. How do I get checked? Getting checked for cervical cancer is an essential part of maintaining your reproductive health. The main method for checking for cervical cancer is through a procedure called a smear. Here's what you can expect during the process: 1. Schedule an appointment: Reach out to your healthcare provider to schedule a smear test. They will guide you on when it's best to have the test done based on your age and medical history. 2. Preparation: Before the test, your healthcare provider may advise you to avoid using tampons, vaginal creams, medications, or douching for at least 48 hours. It's also best to schedule the test when you are not menstruating. 3. The procedure: During the smear test, you will lie on an examination table, and your healthcare provider will gently insert a speculum into your vagina to hold it open. They will then use a small brush or spatula to collect a sample of cells from your cervix. It's normal to feel some pressure or discomfort, but it should not be painful. 4. Results: The collected sample will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. You will typically receive the results within a few weeks. If any abnormal cells are detected, your healthcare provider will discuss the next steps with you. Remember, regular smear tests are crucial for early detection of any abnormal changes in the cervix. It's generally recommended that women begin getting Pap smears around the age of 21 and continue every few years, as advised by their healthcare provider. If you have any concerns or questions about the procedure, it's always best to reach out to your healthcare provider. They can provide personalised guidance and address any specific concerns you may have. Taking care of your reproductive health is important, and regular cervical screenings are a proactive step in doing so! Remember! Getting a smear test is a harmless procedure. It's a routine screening test that helps detect any abnormal changes in the cells of your cervix. Identifying these changes early on, can prevent the development of cervical cancer or catch it in its early stages when it's highly treatable. The procedure itself may cause some minor discomfort or pressure, but it should not be painful. Remember, it's always important to prioritize your reproductive health and stay proactive with regular screenings. If you have any specific concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider. They are there to support and guide you through the process!
