Today is World No Tobacco Day, highlighting that smoking remains one of the leading causes of preventable disease and death globally. In the UK, smoking is responsible for over 78,000 deaths each year. Nearly 15% of all adults in the UK are current smokers, with countless others exposed to second-hand smoke. Health Benefits of Quitting Smoking: - After 20 Minutes: Check your pulse rate. It will already be starting to return to normal. - After 8 Hours: Your oxygen levels are recovering, and the harmful carbon monoxide level in your blood will have reduced by half. - After 48 Hours: All carbon monoxide is flushed out. Your lungs are clearing out mucus, and your senses of taste and smell are improving. - After 2 to 12 Weeks: Blood will be pumping through to your heart and muscles much better as your circulation improves. - After 1 Year: Great news! Your risk of heart attack will have halved compared with a smoker's. If you are thinking about quitting smoking, now is the perfect time to seek support. Our healthcare specialists are here to provide personalised advice, resources, and treatment options to help you quit successfully. We encourage you to book an appointment with our specialist to discuss your goals and explore the most effective strategies for quitting. Together, we can achieve a healthier, smoke-free life.

Recent reports indicate that skin cancer cases in the UK have reached an unprecedented level, with Cancer Research UK forecasting a record 20,800 cases this year, compared to an annual average of 19,300 between 2020 and 2022. This underscores the critical importance of safeguarding your skin from harmful UV rays. Whether you are enjoying the sun at home or abroad, it is essential to adopt preventative measures. Sun Safety Tips: - Seek Shade During Peak Hours: In the UK, the sun is strongest between 11 AM and 3 PM from March to October. Spend time in shaded areas during these hours to minimize exposure. - Cover Up: Wear appropriate clothing, including long sleeves and wide-brimmed hats, and use sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes from UV rays. - Protect Children: Children are particularly vulnerable to sun damage. Ensure they are well-protected with suitable clothing, hats, and sunscreen. - Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating. - Regular Skin Checks: Keep an eye on any changes in your skin and consult a dermatologist if you notice anything unusual. At ROC Clinic, we specialise in skin health and offer expert dermatology services. Early detection is key—schedule your skin check today and learn how to protect yourself against skin cancer.
