Dry January benefits

I was invited to speak to Hello magazine about the benefits of giving up alcohol alongside consultant dermatologist Dr Shaaira Nasir.

We spoke about the issues that excessive drinking can cause such as skin condition flare ups like eczema, hives and psoriasis. It can also cause more troubling damage to the DNA which can lead to an increase in non-melanoma skin cancers.

It can lead to physical issues as well, such as hollowing of the cheeks which can mean puffiness under the eyes.

Read the full article here on how partaking in Dry January can help you look and feel better.

Complex care, often referred to as long-term or continuing care, is a specialised form of healthcare tailored to individuals with significant and ongoing health issues. These issues may stem from chronic illnesses, disabilities, or injuries that require a higher level of support than standard healthcare services can provide. People needing complex care often face multiple health challenges simultaneously, making personalised, coordinated care essential for maintaining their quality of life.
