Community nurses can help you understand health risks as a result of choices you make about your lifestyle.

These can be:

  • what you eat and drink
  • how much exercise you get
  • whether you have regular GP check-ups regarding your health
  • whether you might be at risk of developing medical problems which could be avoided through easy life style changes

We can give you easy read information about:

  • obesity (being clinically overweight)
  • healthy eating
  • exercise and physical fitness
  • diabetes awareness and education - see our  Diabetes poster (PDF, 119KB)
  • drink awareness support

Nurses can also help you and give you information about screening programmes for cancer:

  • breast screening
  • cervical screening (women)
  • testicular screening (men)
  • bowel cancer screening
