🎗️💗 Pink for a purpose 💗🎗️

Our staff at Castle Street Hospital for Women stood together in pink this October to support breast cancer awareness.

We started close to home with an awareness programme for all hospital staff, because those who care for others should also know how to protect themselves.

Early detection saves lives:
✔️ Know your breasts and notice any changes
✔️ Do a monthly self-examination
✔️ Get a clinical breast exam
✔️ Get screened when advised
