Last Friday, the Healthwatch Cumberland team joined members of staff from CADAS and Cumberland Council's Smoking Cessation team to speak to local people about their thoughts on quitting smoking.💬

There were lots of resources available and some mythbusters about how quitting smoking can transform your life, from saving money to giving you time back.

Today marks World Menopause Day, and the theme this year is Chronic Pain at Midlife.❣️💬

Menopause has long been considered a taboo topic, leading to a significant lack of advice and support being available.

Luckily this is changing and conversations are being opened up. But there is still work to be done around sharing information and making healthcare supportive for those experiencing symptoms of menopause.

Did you know that chronic pain becomes more likely during menopause?

If you are experiencing chronic pain and think you might be going through menopause, speak to a healthcare professional about what support is available.

You can also visit the International Menopause Society's page for more information.

If you're thinking about quitting smoking, the NHS has lots of advice and information to help you on your journey.
