Dr Rebecca Lewis from Newson Health reminds us that menopause affects everyone in some way, not just women at a particular age. We can all learn more for ourselves and our colleagues, friends, and family members. #NFCCMenopause24

If you will be spending more time on your balcony, follow our safety advice to reduce the fire risk to your building and surrounding area #WildfireAware
Balcony Safety Advice. Avoid smoking on your balcony. If you do, DO NOT throw cigarettes or smoking materials on or over the balcony. Use an ashtray with water in it. Do not use or set off fireworks or skylanterns. Never use BBQs, firepits, patio heaters or chimineas indoors or on your balcony. They are a fire and carbon monoxide risk. Never store flammable or hazardous material on balconies. Do not modify or install combustable screening on your balcony.

1 of 4 - A short 🧵 - I’ve been at a conference for the last 2 days. Unusually for me no tweets or comment. Thats because I was sat at the front of the @AsianFSA Winter Conference chairing the event, held this year at the Royal Armouries in Leeds in partnership with @WYFRS
