The BMA has called off the unnecessary resident doctor strikes which were due to start on Monday 15 June. This is good news for patients, staff and the NHS. We'll work with the BMA over the coming days to finalise the details of the deal before it is put to their members.

It’s #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek. Women aged 25 to 64 are invited for cervical screening. It checks for changes to cells in your cervix, helping prevent cervical cancer. If invited, or you missed your last screening, contact your GP practice or local sexual health clinic.

The UK Government has announced plans to ban social media platforms from providing their services to under 16s. This is a major step to protect children online – meaning less time to scroll, more time to play, and a safer digital future.

We are giving children their childhoods back. Social media platforms will be blocked from offering services to under 16s. We’re setting a new normal for future generations and empowering parents who just want to do their best for their kids.

Every bag of blood has a story. A donor who gave up time out of their busy day. A patient who now feels stronger. Thank you to every person who rolls up their sleeve. You're the reason lives go on. #WorldBloodDonorDay
