It’s a shocking fact that smoking causes 16 different types of cancer, affecting families across Teesside and North Yorkshire. Stopping is a clear way to reduce the risks. If you still smoke, why not give quitting a go? #Quit16 For advice on quitting support, visit www.Quit16.co.uk.
Dietitians are experts in food and nutrition. If you feel you would benefit from seeing a dietitian speak to your GP or visit bda.uk.com to find out more.#DietitiansWeek #WhatDietitiansDo

Callum Johnson, a senior physiotherapist at Redcar Hospital, has walked over 180 miles in ten days to raise funds for Alzheimer’s UK. Callum completed Wainwright's Coast to Coast leaving St. Bees in Cumbria at 9.30am on 20 April and arriving at Robin Hood's Bay at 12.30pm on 29 April.
Callum said: “To date it was the toughest thing I've ever done! I have chosen to raise money for Alzheimer’s research, because my friend recently moved back home to support her mother who has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (early onset).”
