August 1^st to 7^th - World Breastfeeding Week

Recognising the intricate differences of every mother and infant’s breastfeeding journey supports better informed decisions. To mark the start of Breastfeeding Week 2023, we highly encourage reading Breastfeeding in a New Era by Robert and Ruth Lawrence published on the book Breastfeeding, 9^th edition, available in ClinicalKey.

August 7^th to 13^th – UK National allotment week

The benefits of home-grown produce are well-known. But living in urban areas makes growing them a challenge. Many councils provide allotments; however, the waiting list can be up to 4 years! Don’t let this deter you from sourcing good produce wherever you can. Read about the cardiometabolic benefits to incorporating fruits and vegetables to your meals in this article.

July 18^th to August 17^th – British South Asian Heritage Month

Understanding your patients helps you deliver the highest level of care, from diagnosis to treatment.
